Do you have a serious food allergy?

The only food allergy I have is to mushrooms, but it's not a life-threatening one. I just get horrible headaches from eating mushrooms, so I've learned to avoid them. I never had a problem in them until I was about 30, but then developed the sensitivity. Fortunately, mushrooms aren't terribly hard to live without (at least it's not chocolate!!). :O)

I have an allergy, and the only reason it is serious it that it is to chocolate!

I don't really have what you would call an allergy, but if I eat more than a small piece of hard cheese, I break out in a sweat. It doesn't hurt me, but I do wonder what causes it. My husband sometimes has a light asthmatic attack after eating things with oatmeal in them.

I am fortunate enough to be able to eat whatever I want. However I have few friends that are allergic to some food. One of them can't (or should I say shouldn't)eat citrus fruits like oranges or tangerines because of the itch she get's after taht. But she doesn't care. She says she can suffer a little for her pleasures. My other friend is allergic to cow's milk but she knows it sinse she was a baby so she's accustomed to it. She drinks soy milk instead which is horrible in my opinion. So I guess it's a good idea to find a substitude food whenever it's possible;)

i don't have a really serious one, it only itches and sometimes mild rash especially around my mouth and between my fingers. i'm allergic to prawns from little. but most of the time i just take them cause it's just so tasty and i can't resist it!
