I do believe it is hormones like pregnancies and menopause I became allergic to corn when I became pregnant with my first child then with each one I picked up another when I went through menopause I added another everything I became allergic to was foods/spices that I had eaten on an almost daily basis and were my favs,Hang in there and good luck.

My same allergies started 10 years ago, without any previous warning or reactions. I carry epi-pens plus albuterol and Benedryl. I have had food challenges- I flunked those challenges, so I can’t be tested again! I’m just soooooooo careful

I have one of the celiac genes. Tummy aches as a child and a lot of digestive issues turned into deathly reaction and burning like my whole digestive tract was eating itself. The gluten eats it all up inside if you have an allergy. Fun. 😩. Now includes a trip to hospital.

I developed a shellfish allergy at 43 yes old. A year later I developed a peanut allergy. You can have a food allergy happen at any age… I was told not to eat tree nuts, and now coconut it’s a tree nut..it’s the protein in your blood… and then your body thinks it’s a foreign object and dangerous… that’s why your body reacts the way it does. A food allergy is a allergic disease ( atopic March)
