Oh yea, and from the tanning oil, i got this terrible rash that itches like crazy!

Stomach cramps are not an allergy. IT's a sensitivity, and it's probably gas. The tanning oil could be a whole world of things. Coconut oil can cause a lot of people to rash, also cocoa and shea butter. You may also be allergic to any of the other chemicals in there.

Besides all animals except reptiles, I'm allergic to peanuts, green peppers & cinnamon oil.
There's always a possibility you're allergic to something.
Curry has a lot of different spices, and tanning oil has a lot of different ingredients and chemicals, so it's impossible for me to tell you what you might be allergic to in those things. Look for spices that you don't use in your day-to-day cooking, and chemicals that aren't in products you use elsewhere, or in other things that you know cause a reaction. If more than one type of curry causes that reaction, look for a similar ingredient between the recipes. (and remember, there's also a chance that you might just be reacting to the spiciness.)
You should probably talk to your doctor about it, and until then avoid those two things, as allergic reactions can get progressively worse with each new reaction.
I know how horrible allergies can be, I hope you find out what's causing it!

Some people do have allergic reactions to tanning oil. Some tanning oils are prepared with this in mind. Please follow the link for more information. Also attached is some information from the Mayo Clinic about sunscreen allergies. Hope this helps.
I get an allergic reaction to the Sun!

The tanning lotions that you use in a tanning salon makes me break out in red itchy bumps - I'm also allergic to animals with fur - so I have poodles, they have hair. As for medication, I'm allergic to Parafon Forte - a muscle relaxer.

Codeine (bummer), tetracycline, some nail polishes and crazy glue....
I think you can be allergic to something in curry, but I think curry is a combination of spices so you'd have to do some investigating to see what component you're allergic to.
I know a few people that have your symptoms from garlic....pity. Stay well!

my brother can't use tanning lotions or sunscreens with PABA in it. He found out he was allergic to paba, and when he started buying paba free tanning lotions he stopped breaking out. Check your ingredients on the bottle, it could be alot of things.
My son is severely allergic to latex and peanuts, and about every antibiotic in cephelosporin family. It really sucks to be him.
I am allergic to yellow jacket stings and ragweed. bummer.

dogs, cats, dust mites, cocaroaches (not sure why they tested me for that), pollen, freshly cut grass.
