Postpartum food allergies??

[Dana_Scully]

Before getting pregnant, I was allergic to bananas and kiwis. A couple of days after giving birth, I ate a peach and my mouth and chin went numb. Yesturday I ate a pear and I developed little burning bumps on my top lip. I'm going crazy, I'm now scared of eating fruits, which I love

Is it possible to develop new food allergies after giving birth? I'm already allergic to nuts and peanuts, now I'm afraid of eating eggs in case my body decides not to tolerate it. Are these new allergies temporary?

No one?

Worth a call to your dr and possibly allergy testing. My friend used to eat toast with peanut butter daily. After having her daughter she was swollen and sick. She did food allergy testing and it came back allergic to all tree nuts (she also used to drink coconut coffe and eat hazelnut spread). Not she can't eat any. So I believe it's possible. Good luck and hoping its not the case for you. Till then eat slowly, wash it really well (maybe it was the spray used?) and track all foods and reactions.
