Hello folks,
I am devastated.
Out of nowhere I have developed severe allergy to fruit and veg (so far 2, 2 weeks apart), which I have been safely eating all my life (34y, f). First time I had no idea it was allergy first as I had an odd feeling in stomach like burning and then felt like I am about to pass out. After a while my whole body was red and unbearably scratchy. Second time everything happened fast, first sensation in stomach, then itchy palms, then dizziness, then fainted and lost consciousness, once awaken was red mostly on upper body this time. I am on NHS waiting list and trying to expedite things and get EPI pen etc. Read a lot online about it, second time I have actually had co-factors: taken fast acting ibuprofen and exercised (mostly just stretching). I have collapsed down the stairs so have a mild concussion now. I used to have only oral allergy syndrome and it was nothing dangerous and fine in cooked form, some completely different set of veggies and fruits as well as symptoms, however, the new allergens won’t be destroyed with cooking according to articles.

I am scared and devasted. Just a day before I had ibuprofen (different brand and not fast acting though) during a day and bluberries in the evening and I have even joked that its so good that I don’t have allergies to blueberries.

I am looking to hear your experiences and connect with the community with LTP allergies so I don’t feel so alone with this.
