I am allergic to some types of fruit and vegetables when I eat them raw. I can eat the same foods after they have been cooked and not have any type of reaction. My lips get puffy and my throat gets very itchy. Has anyone else experienced this? The foods that this has happened with are: apples, carrots, kiwi, cherries, peaches, celery, and plums. I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of any right now.

Have you ever been evaluated for Latex allergy? It causes people to be allergic to fruit, especially getting the itchy mouth and puffy lips.
I have latex allergy and have since developed allergies to banana, strawberry, raspberry & kiwi.

My mom can eat pickles, but has a severe reaction to raw cucumbers, and my brother is allergic to bananas.

Yes I am exactly the same way....allergic to oranges & also tomatoes raw & onions raw - can eat those two cooked, but raw just kills me - lips swell up, can't breathe, etc......Love them in homemade spagetti though!!!
