Every time I eat anything that has raw onions in it I start to feel very sick, ie: lightheaded and nauseas oh and the taste stays in my mouth/throat for ages.
When it's cooked I am alright. Does this make sense?

yes it's actually a common allergy.headache and stomach are upset are the two main symptoms see your doctor and check it out often the symptoms of an allergy can get worst so if you find your allergic consult with a nutritionist to find a possible substitute.

It is possible to be allergic to *anything*. Even water, believe it or not. Actually, it is also possible that you really are allergic only to something in raw onions.
I am sure you don't need this advice, but you should probably avoid raw onions. ;-) Seriously, if there's a chance you're allergic, your intolerance may increase with each exposure, so it can eventually move from being just nausea and lightheadedness to a full-out anaphylactic reaction.
Next time you go to the doctor, mention this--they may want to do some tests.

You should probably go see a doctor because I don't know much about the human body but yes I think that's possible because I'm allergic to cats but not guinea pigs, hamsters, etc. when they all have the same fur types. And I'm not allergic to wildcats either. So it might be onion directly?

Raw onions are allergic to some people, you can eat cooked onions.

i think it's a form of indegestion, cause i have it too. i can eat them in a pot roast cooked but raw, i get sick,
but onions , like black pepper are irratating, that's why black pepper makes you sneeze, i use red pepper,it was the 1st herbal powder, (ceyenne pepper) it's actually good for your stomach. how bout that??
(my mom does too, she'll go in the kitchen & just go to the sink and throw up, you can count on it.)

that is a food intolerance not an actual allergy, if you were allergic you would be reacting to any type of onion and have more serious reactions, but other people have it too
