I always wondered what has changed with the food supply. Just a few years ago I experienced a severe allergic food related reaction where I ended up in ICU. For an unknown reason I have become allergic to vegetables.

It for sure happens.

Most people are genuinely shocked to learn that one can be allergic to veggies, but that is often the result of a cross reactivity to some kind of pollen in a similar plant family.

OTOH, you could have a mast cell disorder and something besides an allergen is provoking an allergic type response.

Look up MCAD - Mast Cell Activation Syndrome

That’s what I have been diagnosed with and I can’t eat any veggies. I react to them all.

Thanks for feedback. It’s amazing how the body can change over the years. I will have to bring this up with my allergist.
