Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi all: This is sort of off topic, but I'm wondering if this is an allergic reaction or something else. Every once in awhile when I eat cashews I get a funny taste in my mouth--like eggs. It's not all the time, and it doesn't matter what brand. Anyway, on Tuesday, I ate just a few cashews from Whole Foods (it's their store brand). Not long after eating them, I got that taste in my mouth. A few hours later my stomach was KILLING me. By the time I got home from work, I had severe diarrhea which lasted until last night! I've never had anything like this happen before. Usually, when I have a food allergy, I either break out in hives, or my throat closes up. I've never experienced anything like this before. I started to wonder if maybe the cashews were contaminated like the peanuts? I'm just now feeling up to 65%. I don't remember when I got tested for allergies if cashews were on the list. I know I have a slight allergy to peanuts. I can eat them, but I do have to be careful. Just wondering if anyone else has had this. Thanks.Elaine-- Live ready.http://laineyvette.blogspot.com/http://theaccidentalhomemaker.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Could be an allergy, but i would talk to the dr about this and see if they can test you for it .

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Elaine, I too have some odd things that happen when I eat certain foods and food persatives. Some places I can not eat anything they sell. I believe it is food persatives. Some foods that I eat does not anyways bother me right away. It will take several hours and I get sick at my stomach and throw up. When my stomach is empty, I am fine. Finally I did pay attention to everything I eat and discovered that some foods I just can't eat..........Lou>> Hi all:> > This is sort of off topic, but I'm wondering if this is an allergic reaction> or something else.> > Every once in awhile when I eat cashews I get a funny taste in my> mouth--like eggs.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 that is interesting, because I am real allergic to raw potatoes...I know it is not common to eat raw ones, but I have eaten them since I was a kid.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Being allergic to carrots, I can't even imagine. I am a vegetarian becuase I have an allergy to meat protien, so if I became allergic to vegetables the only thing left to eat would be dorities.

I love my veggies raw. I need to stop taking the Benadryl so I can have the allergy testing done again on Tuesday instead of having to go all the way back to this office Terry I know God will not give me anything I can't handle.

But as soon as they are cooked, they do not make my mouth itch and break out. I wonder what cooking does to these offenders?hugs,Cindicarol caruso wrote: IM allergic to raw carrots and most vegis if they are not WELL cooked.

HOW? I've never heard of that, when I was eating I ate alot of carrots and celery with peanut butter, that was before last Saturday that is, Allergic reactions are so crazy and from first hand experience a life or death situation. I'm just glad it wasn't my time to go, I can't imagine how that would have effected my 10 year old who would not leave my side during the attack/allergic reaction, he would have been scarred for life over that.Please don't' put yourself in harms way with the food issue. you know I wonder, my allergist told me to stop taking the Xyzal during the winter, no sooner than I came off of it the sinus, ear infections came on, then the allergic reaction last week. Just a thought Terry I know God will not give me anything I can't handle.

I am allergic to honeydew, but not cantaloupe. I am allergic to shellfish and seafood, but more allergic to freshwater fish than seawater fish. Sometimes I can't eat raw carrots or celery, sometimes I can. In fact, the last time I ate a raw carrot--and I just took one bite--my throat closed and I could not speak a word for 12 hours.I generally stay away from the things that I know will give me a bad day like seafood, but it seems like everyday there's a new allergy. And then there's some allergies I've totally outgrown like peaches and coconut. I just don't want to end up in the hospital again.Man, it's going to be hard to give up cashews because they're my favorite nut, but I think you and Terry are right and I should avoid them. I am already a vegetarian, pretty soon the only thing I'm going to be able to eat is lettuce and water. And sometimes water breaks me out in hives.On a side note, I just got a call yesterday from the insurance company that I can start xolair again! Yippee!

You can safely eat peanut butter, but walnuts, pecans, cashews...any tree nut falls into the same category as shell fish, and some fruits like avacodos, cantalope... all shell fish...not sea food, but anything that lives in a shell like lobster, shrimp, and crab legs...these all are a big no no, and you are right....I teeter on the edge everytime I indulge in them. But peanut butter with peanuts is a whole total different allergy. But with the whole peanut butter recall....lets all stop buying that too LOL.I have been where you were.....used to eat tons of crab legs, shrimp and lobster. And then one fatal night I cooked lobster tails, and wound up in the hospital some 4 hours later, and they told me to never eat them again or anything else that lived in a shell. It did make my mouth itch, the same that avacados and cantoloupe and pecans and walnuts do. I am looking at what you just posted, and am thinking that my time is just around the corner if I continue to persist in indulging in my favorite guacomole dip or the avacodo that I bring home and devour. The itch is intense in my mouth....... .Cindi Soccermom wrote: After what I went through last Saturday with the Walnuts that I've NEVER tested positive for I'd say STAY AWAY FROM ALL NUTS!!!!!!!! ! Yes you can only react intestional like that, reactions can come in the form of what I had itching, welts, swelling, not being able to breath to intestional upset. Please, I beg of you stay away from those nuts ALL NUTS!!!!!!!! !!Terry from MD>> Could be an allergy, but i would talk to the dr about this and see if they can test you for it .> > CAROL CARUSO> > http://seattlepi. nwsource. com/local/ 324801_cleaning2 4.html> ladyvamp5489@ ...> > Antifungal effects of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) oil and its components on Candida albicans, Candida glabrata and Saccharomyces cerevisiae> K.

It's not all the time, and it doesn't matter what brand. Anyway, on Tuesday, I ate just a few cashews from Whole Foods (it's their store brand). Not long after eating them, I got that taste in my mouth. A few hours later my stomach was KILLING me.

Usually, when I have a food allergy, I either break out in hives, or my throat closes up. I've never experienced anything like this before. I started to wonder if maybe the cashews were contaminated like the peanuts? I'm just now feeling up to 65%. I don't remember when I got tested for allergies if cashews were on the list. I know I have a slight allergy to peanuts. I can eat them, but I do have to be careful.> > Just wondering if anyone else has had this.> > Thanks.> Elaine> -- > Live ready.> > http://laineyvette. blogspot. com/> http://theaccidenta lhomemaker. blogspot. com/>-- Live ready.http://laineyvette. blogspot. com/http://theaccidenta lhomemaker. blogspot. com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
