Trying to discover if I've all of a sudden become allergic to pineapple, had some fresh the other day and had an itchy face and minor puffiness around my lips. The pineapple wasn't the only thing I'd eaten in the suspicious timeframe, but it was the most likely candidate. I just had a couple of chunks of frozen pineapple and I'm trying to distract myself so I don't cause an issue, also not sure if frozen would cause a reaction as I have never had any food allergies 🤷♀️.

I can’t eat it anymore because of the high acidity. It was probably the number one food item, I would see patients report issues with
I've been eating the frozen chunks for a while or making smoothies out of it and never any problems, but the fresh the other day was really the only thing different. The acid got my tongue a little, but I wasn't giving myself a facial with it 😂. I really don't want that to be it, I love pineapple and also WTF I'm over 40 🙄🙄🙄
Was it just one incident? You’re probably fine
I ate some frozen chunks a little while ago and my face is feeling a bit itchy. Could just be paranoia 🤷♀️. Cheese says it's not red like last time, but we're also in the air conditioning.
Idk kind of sounds like what happened to me and I can’t fuck with them at all anymore 😬
Well, process of elimination girl. Tomorrow, before you eat anything else, pineapple party 😜⚡💜🚒🇬🇧😎
Awwwww yes pineapple party up in here 😆. The fresh pineapple was the only thing I hadn't had within the past few days, that's why I suspect it.
Have you considered pesticides?
I used to react to shop bought pineapple.
So I avoided it although love it.
When I ate freshly picked pineapple from a wild tree in Mauritius it was just delicious and no reactions.
Who knows what they treat the fruit with that we get served?
I mean maybe 🤷♀️ I've eaten a lot of fresh pineapple and have never had any problems before. I tried some frozen chunks a bit ago and am feeling itchy again, so my hopes are sinking. I will dose myself with frozen again and see what happens, it's not severe anaphalaxys just itching.
I developed an allergy to fresh pineapple as an adult. Completely unexpected. Mouth ulcers develop almost immediately now from even a single piece. Puffy lips too. I’m not sure if it’s a particular type of pineapple but the acidity is too much for me.
I can still eat pineapple on pizza so I’m guessing tinned pineapple that is baked is okay but I’m reluctant to try it uncooked.
It’s very annoying as I used to love fresh pineapple.
I don’t have any other food allergies.
I feel your pain and confusion 🫂
Hmmm I hate that you and Noshole are saying this ☹️. The inside of my mouth is fine after the frozen, but I'm definitely a little itchy and my lips feel a little puffy. I'm planning on trying it again tomorrow to figure out for sure.
