I didn't use to be so I am fully aware of how amazing fruit is. I just avoid it because i have been sent to the emergency room before when my throat swelled shut. But my kids have been eating apples and they are so crunchy and smell so amazing and I want one so dang bad! ITS NOT FAIR! yes, I am yelling. at the fruit gods. for cursing me. :)

    Is it a specific fruit you are allergic to? If it's apples most often the allergic is not to the apples themselves but whatever wax/pesticides they put on them in the store. If that's so you can scrub them and peel the skin off.

    Nope its the apple. I can peel it, scrub it, cook it. Doesn't matter. I can't even tough a peach let alone eat one. And yes all fruit in certain quantities. I can eat grapes and cantaloupe but after a bowl full it hits me. I slowly started developing the allergy about 6 years ago. It started with fruit margaritas of all things. and i realized it was the strawberries. Since then new ones pop up when I experiment.

    Since that's the case, cravings usually point to a nutrient you need in that particular food so maybe ask your OB what you could have instead of fruit to get whichever nutrient.

    Right right missing nutrients. :) I dont think the nutrient will taste as good as a cruchy amazing apple. ;)

    Ha! I agree. I went apple picking in October and I can't stop eating them.

    I have never heard of that.  I don't eat very many vegetables so fruit for me it is.  I would be struggling.  That is a crappy alergy.

    I feel your pain!!! I'm allergic to apple skins, bananas, watermelon, cantelope, all raw vegetables and almonds, walnuts and pecans. All I want to eat are fruits and veggies and I can't have them. My throat will close shut, my lips and tongue will swell. Even my gums itch :(

    Thank god for vitamins and juice! That way I can get the baby the healthy stuff he or she needs!

    Its the raw potassium in all of it that makes me allergic.

    OMG!!!!! I know EXACTLY how you feel!!! I am in the same boat. I am highly allergic to fruit too... every thinks its soooo weird how you can be allergic to something so healthy. But all i want is a banana.... Its sooo hard... I can only make due with canned fruit which just isn't the same...
