Why does this happen? : Othor Games

» Sun May 13, 2012 3:31 am

Every time I eat; raw carrot, cucumber, tomato, bananas and nuts my throat feels unbearably itchy to the point of all most vomiting.

Could this be an allergy?

Probably an allergy, but an itchy throat/ears can be a cold or flu of some kind.

Ask your doctor, (preferablly one that isn't a Tasmanian)

Here are some questions

1. Does it happen when you eat the food cooked?

2. Do you buy them from a chain store or something that is large?

Maybe it might not be the food your allergic to, but something in or on it like a preservative.

1. No. I can eat carrot cooked

2. I don't buy them at all. They grow in our garden and we don't use pesticides. it still occurs when bought from super markets as well though

Maybe its just something that is cooked out, next time you see your doctor just bring it up with them.

Sounds like the symptoms of an allergy, but I would recommend you ask a doctor.

I did a little clicking around and found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_allergy_syndrome Oral allergy syndrome. Looks like it could possibly be that.

If you can eat the food cooked, it's probably not an allergy. You might just have a sensitive throat. Try chewing more? Hahah, sorry to sound like your mom.

Maybe or what ever is the problem is cooked/boiled out of the food, like carrots lose much of their vitamins the longer they're on.
Don't speak with your mouth full! :slap:

Someone screwed up in your body's defensive systems and accidentally filed aforementioned foods in the "do not, DO NOT let in" category. Now your body will try to destroy these products whenever comes in contact.

Best options is to ask your doctor if you, really think its an issue persist with your doctor, you'd be suprised with what you think maybe be one simple problem isnt, so always worth getting all options looked at.

Maybe I'll bring it up next time. The thing is no one believes me.

I used to be able to eat bananas with out any issues...?

Food allergies can sometimes just develop in a person who has never had them before. I'd suggest getting it checked out.

You mean on the outside of your throat right ? Becuase my throat itches after drinking orange squash. Its the only thing the causes it.

Allergies can develop at any age or time and for no apparent reason. I used to be fine with rabbits, had two and then one day I'd itchy eyes and hands.

Can they undevelop(?)?

Yes, they most likely have been with you since you were born but have now just mutated and gotten worse as a result.
I'll look up more on it soon, but as far as I know once you have an allergy, you have it for life. Unless of course you find a cure for them all and make billions. :ribbon:

I have that problem from time to time when eating certain vegetables. So does my mom. I'm sure you can take some sort of OTC allergy medicine like Benadryl to help alleviate the itching, I usually just wait it out it goes away quite fast. But yeah it's most likely an allergy.

Though it could always be something more serious, I'd ask a doctor just to be sure.

You're doctor isn't going to just say I don't believe you. So when you go for a checkup or something bring it up.
