hey everybody!
ok, so here is my problem.....i would LOVE to eat an apple or a banana or something when i want a snack. the problem is that i have recently been diagnosed with a fruit allergy. i can't eat raw fruit. i can eat cooked fruit, but if tree pollens are really high, i will still react to fruit. its some weird "protien structure" thing.

any ideas?
thanks everybody :-)

My wife used to have fruit allergies when she lived in the Sacramento valley. Once she moved up to the mountians of northern California a year or so her allergies are all but gone. I said that to say there may be other answers to your allergy situation than avoiding fruit all together. Do as much research as you can on food allergies and see a couple of different allergy specialists if you can. There is a lot of helpful folks here that may be able to offer some real help. Good luck and Welcome!
