Big Red Gum and other fake cinnamon candies make my tongue and throat swell. Anyone else have that problem?

Question

Im just wondering what ingrediant it could be that causes this reaction?

I guess Im allergic to it! LOL

Reason Im wondering now is because my throat has been hurting, kinda swelled maybe for two weeks. Doesnt feel like a normal sore throat, it feels like the allergic reaction I had to the gum, except I havent been eating anything like that.

Im wondering if a certain ingrediant in the gum/candies could also be in the medication I started taking two weeks ago.

Ideas?

LOL! No Im not still chewing the gum OR eating the candies. I havent in like 8 months. Im thinking there may be a similar ingrediant in it as well as my medication that may be doing this to me. Since I started taking my medication two weeks ago and the sore throat started two weeks ago thats kind of a coincidence, dont ya think? :)

No I would not keep eating something Im allergic to. haha. I dont have a death wish. :)

Im just wondering if anyone knows what ingrediant it is in the cinnamon gum and candies that people have reactions to?

My MIL gets it too.

Answer 1

Your probably allergic to the red dye. Any time your throat or tongue swells, you should avoid those foods at all cost. You can develop allergies as you age, or those allergies can get worse as time goes by.

Answer 2

Get to a doctor asap. If it is an allergic reaction, it can worsen. Or,perhaps you have a throat condition that is aggravated by the gum. Eitherway, it's best to see a doctor. If you can see an allergist, that's even better. An allergist can test you and let you know the things you're allergic to. Whatever is in the gum is likly in a lot of other products in larger quantities. You'll want to get that checked out. Your throat could swell shut!

Answer 3

Are you still chewing this gum? If it was an allergic reaction and you are not still chewing the gum the swelling would have already went down

Answer 4

It is completely possible...call or go to the doctor! If you do not know if you have an allergic reaction & ignore it for too long it can become deadly. Allergies are very odd & a person can be allergic to the oddest things.
