It is not a severe as a peanut allergy. But I ate one, I'd have to be rushed o the hospital. Benedryl couldn't help. I can eat avacado, they still make my throat itch, but can eat it with no symptoms. Does anyone know? I tell doctors and they just shrug. It gets annoying when you have to ask, "Is there bananas in this?" Then the questions....
I am also extremely allergic to all shellfish?
Any info would be great...thanks!

I'm the exact same! I can eat avocados, but my mouth itches when I do. I can not eat bananas unless I want to die or someone is trying to kill me! I am allergic to tomatoes, melons, kiwi, water chestnuts, raw potatoes, and last but not least.....LATEX! It started out with bananas, then next came melons, then raw potatoes....then latex during surgery. I had no idea to warn my surgeon that I was deadly allergic to bananas.....I think he should have asked. These all contain the same protein. The protein in latex is almost exactly similar....thus a cross-sensitivity. Good luck hon! It is really sad when you eat something that you have eaten for years only to find that you have a reaction now.

Bananas have a lot of potassium in them. There was a time just the smell of a banana made me want to dump my stomach out in the bathroom.
My son when he was a new born could not take formula because of the fish oil in it. So, the only fish he can eat now is canned tuna fish. The canning process changes its structure.
Go see an allergist and have the scratch test done for any thing you might be allergic to, so you will know what else you may have to look out for eating.
Good luck

Sounds like your body has trouble with postasum which is in all the foods you have discribed here...several people have it.
