Why do I hold food allergies?
I'm allergic to eggs, peanuts, cashew nuts, bananas, salmon, tuna, soy beans, and other things. Why do I have food allergies? Does everyone have at least one allergy?
Answers: I too have numerous food allergies, most of mine can be linked to a cross recoil to latex. Banana was the final clue for my allergist.
as the one food that linked most of my allergic reaction to a latex rubber allergy. We had been trying to figure out my allergies for a year or so.
None of the blood test my doctor did showed I have a latex allergy, but my history does. he felt it was too hazardous to do a skin prick test. I had an allergic reaction and go to ER after eating at a fast food place - I learned they have handled my food with latex gloves. It wasn't the food, it was the latex proteins not here on the food.

The foods like banana, avocado, kiwi, tomato and more closely resemble the make up of the latex proteins - So your body thinks it's drinking latex protein and reacts.
I didn't have trouble with latex condoms, or using latex gloves until much next as my allergy progressed. I don't know what came first, the latex allergy, or the food allergy then I started reacting to latex.

Seriously, cause you probably eat too much. (me too)
bowdlerize: After an extended "fast" you may find yourself no longer allergic to most of those things you just listed. (The fast can reset your system, and make a contribution you a fresh start with those food items.)
I don't expect it's because you eat too much. And I don't recommend fasting either. Not everyone have at least one food allergy, but it is still very common. There's a band of food allergy symptoms, ranging from tingling or a rash around the mouth, to a life-threatening reaction involving hives, breathing difficulties and other symptoms.
I'm curious nearly the list of foods you mentioned. Allergists rely on skin and blood testing to determine food allergies. Have you had these test done? Have you had any reactions in times past to any of those foods? The 6 most common foods that account for ~80-90% of food allergies include: nuts, milk, egg, soy, wheat, fish/shellfish. You mentioned many of these foods. I'm guessing that the banana allergy is different.
ou're curious going on for your food allergies, I would see an allergist. We're best equipped to deal with these issues. I know because I am one. Good luck, and if you have other question, you should visit the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network at www.faan.org. Good luck!
P.S. I would disregard the above advice regarding "provocation" trialling. The writer is describing what is called Intradermal Testing, or an injection just under the skin. It is greatly easy to elicit a reaction through this method, and it is also VERY dangerous for someone next to food allergies, because such a test can actually CAUSE a life-threatening reaction. It sounds close to everyone with a positive "reaction" is then subjected to some useless and very expensive treatment. It's worrisome to hear what people are doing out there...
