Strange New Allergy

My husband doesn't eat plums because he complains that they make his lips and tongue feel all unpleasant, which sounds like a mild allergy to me, so I don't see why not. But I agree with the previous poster that it may be related to the treenut allergy.

I believe that this allergy is related to the tree nut allergy. From what I have read online, the seed of the plum is the equivalent of a tree nut.

I actually have this allergy but did not develop it until my early 20s. I am also allergic to peaches, apricots, apples, and some strawberries &carrots whether they are organic or not. It seems to actually be a common allergy as I know a few others When I went to the allergist, she said it was the protein in these foods that causes the allergy. I found if I cook them, I can eat them without itching. However the allergist said to stay away from them all together and to carry an epipen at all times. Hope this helps a bit.

I don't know about the plum allergy, but my daughter has suddenly developed an allergy to bananas after years of being okay eating them.

I have a condition called Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) you can look it up online I will try to post the site I go to about it I am allergic to any berry bamboo shoots some veggies like raw carrots but not cooked it is the pesticides I am allergic too apples are really bad my lip and throat swell and burn its bad what are his symptoms? Please email me at ____@____.com I would love to talk about this.

Does he react to organic plums? Perhaps it is the pesticide used on the plums that bothers him. That being said, a person can be allergic to anything. Plums seem to be a pretty simple allergy as I don't see them sneaking into much of your everyday food. Good luck!

The book "Healing the New Childhood Epidemics" by Dr. Bock, had very helpful information on my son's allergies.
