I started off having intolerances/allergies to some fruits where I would get hives, swollen lips, and an itchy tongue. It has gotten progressively worse over the course of time. Now I can't find one single fruit that I can eat. It has continues to move on to other foods.
I was able to eat a diet with most of my carbs coming from sweet potatoes, but that has been the last thing that I now can't eat that has finished me off. Im seriously thinking about quitting. The funny thing is that I can eat crappy processed foods usually without problem.
The doctor says it is whats called oral allergy syndrome and really there isn't any treatment to allow me to eat the foods. Only avoidance because it could become anaphylactic. He said they have done studies with slowly introducing the foods backs in but have taken years and really haven't been that successful. He also said he has only seen a few cases as bad as mine.
As of right now I can't eat any fruit, the only vegetable that I can eat without any symptoms is white potatoes. I can't eat any green vegetables, sweet potatoes, fruits, no nuts that I know of, oats, or any milk proteins. The milk proteins were very bad and almost caused me to have a surgical procedure. That eliminates most protein powders.
Anyone ever experienced or known anyone that has had anything like this? Im frustrated beyond belief. Maybe this is time telling me you've done this long enough, eat some cookies.
