Does anybody get a flushed face feeling after eating almonds, walnuts, or apples?

[Stanley Rockefeller]

I developed allergies to Pollen after using Accutane in the late 90's for my acne. The stuff was harsh and was actually linked to ppl killing themselves, and its really hard on you kidney's too.

Skin cleared up, but then I got allergies for no good raisin?!?! no...good...raisin!!!

I tell ya, ya just never win sometimes

I have had a few bouts of anaphylaxis (allergy attacks) out of nowhere the past 3-4 years, I don't really know what triggers it, but it has happened after going for a jog. Haven't had one for a while, thank god, it IS NOT pleasant.

Yeah I can't have dairy or gluten anymore, it sucks because I was a big cheese connoisseur...... Now I've lost a little weight though so it's not all bad.

^ definitely.

try eating 5lbs of almonds in one hour. immersion therapy. it works.

trust me.

Jesus Christ, don't do this. I hope you're joking man.

Adult onset food allergies, especially those to nuts, are NOTHING to joke around with. You're asking for anaphylaxis if you eat a lot of them... hell, even one can be enough to kill someone. If you go into anaphylactic shock and nobody is around, you'll be dead before you can even dial 911.

Allergies are an immune response and nothing to joke around with. Make sure you mention the symptoms to your physician so that they can run a food allergy panel on you.

This^. Any eat lots of the stuff makng you allergic. I was lactose intolerant out of nowhere for a few months so I started drinking a whole lot of it and my troubles disappeared.

Seriously?

Lactose intolerance isn't an allergy. It's from low levels of Lactase, the enzyme that hydrolyzes lactose into galactose and glucose. Your body can't digest lactose. It's fairly common in adults. Your body will decrease the production of lactase because we didn't evolve to drink milk past that of breast milk.

Worst outcome of lactose intolerance: you shit your pants.
Worst outcome of allergic anaphylaxis: your trachea/bronchioles swell shut and you suffocate (read: die).

Something tells me the King of Kegstands knows WTF he's talking about.

Try doing a candida cleanse. Obviously you are developing an allergy for those nuts and your belly has a yeast overgrowth in your intestines (99% of people who have taken antibiotic will develop this) which is causing acidity so when you eat the apple, it is giving you an allergic reaction.

That makes little to no sense.

To the OP:

It sounds like your symptoms are quite mild, but I'd be concerned about possible progression and/or increased sensitivity. It's a very good sign that you don't experience any sort of chest tightness or itchiness/hives (armpits and groin are the most likely place for them to first appear.
[After witnessing a co-worker's throat swell closed after eating one almond (no problems prior to 60 years old), it makes me a little paranoid. If we weren't already in the hospital, she likely would have died.]

I've been stung by bees in my childhood many times. Now my dad makes bees his hobby and owns 10 or so beehives that he keeps and tends to on the property. I was mowing the lawn one day and was too close to the beehives when 10 or so of them attacked me. I was stung 5 times and shit went nuts. I swole up everywhere. My entire body went red, hot, and swollen. I was basically going into anaphalactic shock and I was rushed to the hospital. The ER worked their magic and I was made right before any serious damage could be done.

I am allergic to bees now. Sucks balls. I have epi pens and the works just in case.

Don't get bee allergies. They will kill you.
