I seem to have developed an allergy to fruit in the last couple of years. When I eat it the roof of my mouth and the back of my throat starts to itch and I've noticed on a couple of occasion that my speech feels weird so I assume my tongue or something is swelling a bit. Does that sound like an allergic reaction?
It started with plums and peaches but now includes pears, most varieties of apple, strawberries, apricots, cherries and some grapes. Does the fact that it seems to be spreading mean anything?
I also used to be okay with tinned fruit but even that sets it off now.
Does anyone know why this has happened, if it's likely to go away again and if I should be going to the GP about it?

Is it possible to develop an allergy to something as an adult having previously been absolutely fine with it?
