Unfortunately I am allergic to kiwis. I love them so much but can't eat them. If I eat a small slice of it, my throat and my tongue get kind of itchy and seem to be swollen. Have you ever experienced anything like that?

I am allergic to coconut, any thing of coconut, the flesh or the juice. It aggravates my blood pressure instantly. I have to be very careful and avoid any food which has coconut in it, cakes, buscuits, soup, meat curries, any thing. So, I go to restaurants, I always check with the waiter/waitress if the item on the menu has coconut in it.

Well, when I was young and had asthma, i was allergic to so many different kinds of fruits such as mangoes, sandoricum and including my favorite watermelon. That was a hard time for me cause fruits are affordable in my country but I cant eat it because I was sick. Luckily I was able to overcome my asthma and now I can eat all the watermelon I like without worrying about any allergic reaction.

Luckily I'm not addicted to any sort of food. I am addicted to some soap though..specially the once use for laundry. It makes my hand itchy and swollen.

Hi Satenik, It is sad to know that you have allergic problem with a particular fruit. Fortunately, there are no such problems with me so far. I can have the fruits I love without getting any irritation in my body. I remember about my friend, if she eats one particular kind of banana the next moment she starts sneezing and it will lasts long time.

I am allergic to custard apple and papaya. I know that they are healthy but i just can't seem to eat one and i don't know why. However most of the other fruits are welcome to go down in my stomach!
