Why is that when I eat a seafood, my through feels weird? Is that I'm allergic to seafood? I haven't eat seafood ever since I got it. I still get it even with just a bite of it. Before, I never had this but ever since I got it, I have no love of eating seafood.

It definitely sounds as if you've developed an allergy to seafood and should avoid it...even a bite...altogether.

You should see an doctor and get tested before eating "seafood" again. If you are allergic, you may not be allergic to all seafood. For several years, I would get throat pain and intense heart burn after eating shrimp, crabs and lobster. I just didn't eat it. I didn't realize it was an allergy until I went into anaphlactic shock after eating shrimp. My doctor did a RAST blood test and I am allergic to all shellfish but not fish. Also, shellfish allergies are not iodine allergies, they are allergies to the actual protein in the meat. Shellfish allergies that develop during adulthood can be very serious and you should get educated and carry an epipen.

It does sound like you are allergic to seafood and should avoid it, but there can also be other explanations.
Several people in my family have horrible reactions to dairy products, usually they bloat up and are in the bathroom for several days. They thought it was extreme lactose intolerance, but in the end found out it was related to stomach acid. They took Famotidine (Pepcid, Pepcidine) and it cured the problem.
I recommend talking to a doctor or pharmacist and seeing what they think.

Have u had seafood before and the skin around your lips got itchy or became puffy? If you had that reaction, it can be that u are allergic to seafood.

You should try to avoid it. Seems as if you've developed an allergy to it. Its not unheard of...our body chemistry changes from time to time and sometimes we become allergic to things that we've always used. Have benadryl on hand!
