Having items with sugar in them feels like I've had too much coffee and makes it so I can't sleep even fruit has the same result.

It's not an allergy... Sugar simply gives you energy... it's called a sugar rush.
Bad for you... Very bad.

From all the info I read, no one can be allergic to sugar.The condition is called a food allergy when the immune system (the part of the body that fights infections) thinks a certain protein in a food is a "foreign" agent and fights against it. This doesn't happen with sugars and fats.

I'm not sure it's possible to actually be allergic to sugar, but it certainly is possible to be sensitive.
When you say even fruit does this to you, are you talking about raw fruit, or canned? I ask because canned fruit does have sugar added.
Have you been tested for diabetes or hypoglycemia?
Good luck finding out what's going on!

This is what sugar does. You are just more sensitive to it than most people. Don't eat it.
As far as fruit goes, some fruits have a higher impact on your blood sugar than others. Look up the glycemic index ratings on your favorite fruits for more info(www.glycemicindex.com, or google for other sites).

It is possible to be allergic to almost anything, but if sugar makes you jittery it could be low blood sugar or something else. You should see a doctor.

No or you would be severely ill . All foods break down to glucose (sugar )and it is the only Brain food . The problem is the way you handle sugarand your insulin levels may be at fault . Get a Glucose test after fasting for 24 Hrs . It should be 125 or less.

Sugar does make food taste good, but it is not good for you. Read the book "Sugar Blues" and you'll see what havoc is done to your poor body when you ingest it. On top of all of it, sugar is addictive and your body craves it. Therefore, if our bodies could talk to us they'd tell us they were allergic to sugar!!! (I'm not a fanatic---I love sugar but I know it is so very bad for me!!!)

Highly doubtful. You might want to get check for either low blood sugar or high blood sugar. Have a diabetes test the next time you see your doctor. Don't take chances.

diabetics are not allergic to sugar, they just don't process it well. and its not sugar its the starches that turn into sugar. There is a disease called Candida that i think is an allergy to sugar, same symptoms as diabetes.
