Anyone have an allergy to pork?

Question

What are you symptoms? Have you been tested by a doctor? Is there a special diet you're on or do you just avoid pork? I've never heard of an allergy like this but my friend's daughter is convinced she is allergic to pork because she gets back stomach aches from it.

PS - I don't want your religion. If you're here to preach to me, go away

Answer 1

Yes, i am. i started getting very sick after i would eat pork when i was about 7, im cuban and we eat pork a lot, its at every celebration and party, my mom took me to the doctor and he ran some test, told me i was allergic to the fat in the pig, to this day i can only eat the leaner meats otherwise i get horrible stomach pains, and in my family im not the only one my cousin suffers from this too
hope this helps

Answer 2

No. I've just ate a pork pie. But I do know that pork produce causes stomach ache in some people, because of all the additives they put in before it reaches the store.Things like pies, sausages,etc, have rusk (bread) added to bulk up the meat. Could she be allergic to wheat flour?

Answer 3

I'm not sure about allergic to pork, but I do have a friend who can't eat most meats because of the preservatives used on them. These days, she's a vegetarian.

Answer 4

My brother has allergy to beef. so when ever he eats beef he has loose motion. My grandfather is allergic to ANIMAL PROTIEN so if he eats , any sort of non veg , he develop urticaria rash all over his body, which is associated with severe itching.
Best way to rule out is consult a doctor. There are allergic specialist in major cities.
