I'm not allergic to anything else, but since the birth of my second child I seem to have problems with fruit! If I eat fresh fruit my lips tingle and my throat itches and feels as though it's swelling up a bit. Today I ate some strawberries and as well as my lips tingling a tiny blister developed on the inside of my lip.
The worst culprits are peach, strawberry and pear, as well as orange juice. These are all things I've eaten lots of in the past so it seems a bit strange.
At first I thought I was imagining things, but it seems to be getting worse over time. Does this sound like an allergy to you?
