Are you allergic to any unusual foods?

I'm not allergic to anything, which kinda makes me a bit boring! :bebored: But fortunate as I am able to eat what I enjoy without fearing imminent death. :eating:

My fiance's dad is deathly allergic to pineapple, as are 2 of his siblings. :eek4:

What about you? Do you have any weird or unusual allergies? :lolwut:

Nothing fatal but if I eat fresh pineapple I get ulcers on my tongue. Absolutely fine if it is tinned, dried, cooked etc but I discovered that McDonalds uses fresh pineapple in their smoothies when my tongue got all painful and red after having the mango and pineapple one 😂😂

One of my friends can't eat citrus fruit though.

Red lettuce :dontknow:
No food allergies, thankfully!

It's dust, pollen, and a number of soaps/skincare products for me.
Thankfully Nothing! :biggrin:
My cousin is allergic to figs and a girl at my school is allergic to pomegranates. Poor girls, they’ll never get to taste these sweet fruits without getting a swollen face

Your whole life would be turned upside down if you had food allergies!

Artificial strawberry stuff. Stuff you'd find in breakfast bars or cheap chocolate.

No allergy

Wooo!
Bacon. I love it so much. But one little nibble of it and I get tingles all over and my ears clog up so I can't hear. After getting hit in the head and ears too many times, my ears have hard time circulating blood, and salt makes the blood spread, so...anything too salty just ****s my ears and blood up...
food is fine, it's caffeine,alcohol (the caffiene and alcohol were only 9 months ago it developed as a problem for me) aspartame and artificial citric acid in drinks that i don't react well to, more an intolerance than a full blown allergy though.

I guess that's a good thing for your health, means you don't overload on salt

Is there artificial citric acid in lots of drinks or is it fairly easy to avoid?

Have you had the sundaes at the Harvester? :ahee:
No allergy here, but one of my friends used to be allergic to tomatoes when he was younger.
When I was younger I thought my sister was allergic to dairy when she was actually vegan, lol.

it's in a lot of drinks, i can cope with decaf coke and lemonade and some sports drinks because it's not in high amounts in some but otherwise no other fizzy drinks. if i go to a pub it's either lemonade or alcohol free cider or a mocktail that i can have really.
