Some times allergies build over time. You can ‘become’ allergic to things you have used or eaten for a long time. I know a lot of people who have become allergic in middle age. It might seem sudden but it's not, it has been building and it just got to the point where you realize it. On the other hand it is your immune system at work, a little too hard, but working just the same.

A doctor once told me after looking at my long list of allergies “hummmmm you probably will never have cancer”.

True. I am in my fifties and developed an allergy to wheat last year. It has definitely changed my life. No more bread, pasta, cake, cookies, etc. Most of the commercial wheat/gluten free products taste like crap.

Mine was scallops. I love scallops but if I eat them now I pass out. I really miss them, especially the bacon wrapped ones.... mmmmm bacon.....
