penicillin

Can you eat blue cheese if you are allergic to penicillin?

yes, I do, and have always been allergic to penicilliin.

thanks it my sons allergy

I thought penicillin mould only grew on bread - am I being a wally? Wouldn't be the first time MN has taught me a thing or two!

thanks. I'm allergic to penicillin and have always wondered . . . I love cheese of all kinds and am now going to treat myself to some really ripe stilton.

I've always been allergic to penicillin and have always eaten blue cheese, and that question has never occurred to me! Presume it's fine.

It wouldn't have occured to me if some wise ass hadn't told me they'd read that I couldn't eat it. I foolishly listened and never really questioned it. Came on here and found the truth!!

I'm allergic to penicillin but don't have the same reaction from blue cheese.

If I eat Cambazola, I feel really really sick about an hour later and usually get stomach pains/loose tummy - I have passed blood before now. The doctor couldn't say for sure that it was related to my penicillin allergy, but I play it safe and avoid it now. I haven't had a problem with any other blue cheese though - I've eaten Stilton, Gorgonzola and Blue Brie with no problems.

yes i'm allergic to penicillin the quantity in blue cheese is low so shouldn't affect you i have always eaten it with no reaction

thanks for all the advice. I have told my son he can eat blue cheese but he said he didn't like the look of it - would you believe it
