I have never made a comment on your blog...Hi Sue, <br /><br />I have never made a comment on your blog before but I really enjoy reading it, especially hearing about your lovely animals. I felt I just had to comment about your suspected allergy of avocados. I have the same so I urge you not to eat them any more. I used to virtually overdose on them until one day I ate one and felt really sick and sweaty. I gave them a try about a week later and did feel a whole lot worse plus I was sick after eating it 10 minutes later and I got a nasty rash, which disappeared after about 24 hours. I am allergic to kiwis and nectarines and my doctor has advised me to stop eating avocados as it would appear I am allergic to them also. I had a mass of allergy tests at Guy's and there are also a lot more foods that I can affect me. I was advised not to eat any hybrid type fruit or vegetable such as a nectarine (its funny but I can eat both peaches and plums but not the hybridised nectarine). Also the specialist said kiwis and avocados are relatively "new" fruits having been developed within the last 50 years or so. Hope you don't have any more reactions and wishing you an allergy free yuletide.<br /><br />Regards from another Sue Sencosuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16680307635326314845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-29798418620479163512015-12-03T21:08:42.324+00:002015-12-03T21:08:42.324+00:00I love avocado, but DH loathes them, so they'r...I love avocado, but DH loathes them, so they're a rarity in our fridge! <br />I absolutely cannot eat kiwi fruit, it used to make my lips and tongue tingle and itch, but I enjoyed the taste, so carried on eating them. It was only when I had a very bad reaction, and my tongue started swelling badly that I realised I was actually allergic! I rinsed and gargled with lots of water and took two differing antihistamine tablets which I carry for my hay fever, and the swelling diminished quickly, but I am very careful to avoid kiwis now!

I must say that although I am watching Nigella I find most of the recipes have too much sugar, too much salt, or too many ingredients which would moulder away in my store cupboard after one using in her recipe. Also, most of them are so fattening I can only think she starves the rest of the time.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-41251398917052023072015-12-03T11:00:01.671+00:002015-12-03T11:00:01.671+00:00On the positive side of things avacado shouldn'...On the positive side of things avacado shouldn't be to difficult to avoid. <br />X xFishcake_randomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639536696800359426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-1357647619660456182015-12-03T10:03:41.536+00:002015-12-03T10:03:41.536+00:00I love eggs but can't eat scrambled - if I do,...I love eggs but can't eat scrambled - if I do, I start to feel sick half way through and have to leave it.

I am lactose-intolerant after 3 years of anti-biotics (a particularly useless Dr), and it would seem I have a leaky gut now so there are quite a few things which I have eaten all my life - but are now best avoided. I take Chlorella and Spirulina, which help a little, but need to revise my eating habits. At least you now know that it is the Avocado causing the problems and can use your Nutribullet again.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-68426237799609920242015-12-03T09:01:04.546+00:002015-12-03T09:01:04.546+00:00It took me a while to realise that I feel ill afte...It took me a while to realise that I feel ill after eating eggs. I'm not too bad eating a recipe with an egg in it, but for some reason when I eat scrambled, boiled or fried eggs, I feel really sick for hours afterwards. I can't eat red lentils, bicarb/baking powder or kiwi fruits (these make me feel like scratching my throat out!). Chocolate gives me migraines as does red cheese. Can't see the connection between any of these foods but the food intolerances are definitely becoming worse as I get older. Never mind, there's plenty of foods I can still enjoy.
