We're not an "allergic" family IYSWIM, none of us have a history of any allergies (other than DD and kiwis, also a recent thing) but over the last year teen DS has developed any itchy throat and feels as if it's swelling slightly if he eats melon, nectarines, peaches and cherries.
It's honestly not that he's dodging eating fruit as he has always loved it and it's never been a problem before.
Why would this be happening now?
Is it likely to get worse (an acquaintance with allergies to similar fruit carries an EpiPen as her reaction is very serious).
We will go to the doctor about it but when we had similar with FD and kiwis he just said "don't eat kiwis" and mentioned oral allergy syndrome .
