I'm guessing that the "itching" you are experiencing is the action of the "hairs" in both the pineapple and the kiwi.
I myself have to be very careful to remove the nodules that contain the hairs from the pineapple completely before I try eating any, or the complete skin from the kiwi (and then washing the kiwi and my hands to get the loose hairs off). My throat will have a slight itchy feeling as well, but what really bothers me is the sores I get on the insides of my lips.
I know I'm not allergic to either one of these, because I have been extensively tested. I guess the trick is moderation in all things.

No your throat is not suppose to itch when eating them. You are allergic to them, and that is why you feel that way. I am the same way, I can't eat any fresh fruit because I have an allergic reaction to them. I just stay away from those that really mess me up but the others that dont hurt me that bad I will eat but only in moderation. Good Luck and watch what you eat, you dont want to have a severe reaction to something.

unless this is the first time you've had pineapple and kiwi, its most likely an allergic reaction to the pesticides they spray. You may have the same reaction to apples, carrots, celery and a few other foods. Best recommendation is to get organic foods (which cannot be sprayed with pesticides) or wash the food well (which doesnt always work).

You're having an allergic reaction. The same thing happens to me when I eat watermelons.... Take a Benedryl if it gets really bad, but be careful, because an allergic reaction can get worse everytime you eat whatever it is you're allergic to.

It sounds like an allergic reaction. You should probably take some benedryl and see if it improves. If the benedryl helps, then that should probably confirm that you're allergic and you should not eat them. Every time that you continue to eat them, you risk developing a serious allergic reaction called anaphylactic shock. It could kill you.

I don't think so. A tingling feeling, maybe. But if your throat is really itchy then I'd guess that you're allergic. :(

no, you are probably allergic to it. if you dont mind the itching, it wont do anything to you so it is safe to eat, my mom has the same problem.

No, it sounds like you are having a mild allergic reaction to it.

if it aint the skin , pestisides, or hairs,and if you like it a lot I would recomend not eatin to much cuz your allergy may get worst and you won't be able to eat any at all.
