Allergic to Fruit?

I think I'm allergic to fruit or some sort of citrus. Lately I have been wanting to eat healthy and lose some weight for summer. So anyway, I've been getting a lot of fruit at the store because it's good for you. I got like apples, oranges, mangoes, pears, kiwi, lemons, and some others. But then every time after I eat any one of those, my throat and sometimes my lips get all itchy. One time it even happened after I had raspberry flavored Dasani water. I have no idea what this is. Does this happen to anyone else? Or do you know what it could be? Could I be allergic to fruit? Also, is there anything I can do to make it stop? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for any advice.

It hasn't happened to me before but actually it isn't an allergy. Believe it or not, it is more of a digestive concern this day. That also means you should lay off of the citrus if it bothers you that much. An allergist can't really do anything to since the only thing that happens is nausea and not any major reaction that requires epinephrine administration.

i have this sort of allergy too, but it's a stomach and esophagus reaction, not a mouth reaction. i'm allergic to basically all fruits except pineapples, apples, and strawberries. for some reason i can handle orange juice too even though i can't take actual oranges. another problem i have is that i don't like apples or strawberries. i haven't tried that many fruits since i discovered this allergy. it seems to be getting less severe though. before if i ate more than a little bit of any fruits(besides previously mentioned) i would throw up, now i just get nauseous unless i eat a lot, in which case i throw up. not quite sure what the actual cause is though.

You can have an allergy to kiwi easily, sometimes as serious as anaphalactic shock.

It sounds to me like it could be some sort of allergy but seriously here isnt the place to post this I think you should go and see your doctor and tell him exactly what you just wrote because he's gonna be able to you alot more than anyone here. I'm sure everything will be fine though! Marina xXxXx
