Hello!
After I eat a piece of orange, my body immediately induces a vomit attack: my heart begins to race, my saliva glands begin to over-produce, and I have to run to the bathroom to throw up. This reaction happens within a minute of me eating it. It's been going on for about 5 years now. I've since then stopped eating oranges all together, which sucks. Every now and then I'll think "maybe I can have one slice" but it always ends the same way: with lunch in the toilet.
Now it's starting to happen with other fruits: strawberries, avacados... My list is growing and I'm starting be afraid of eating any kind of fruit.
I looked up oral allergy syndrome, but most of those symptoms are itchiness and hives around the mouth and skin. I don't get any of those symptoms, I just get nauseous and throw up. But I feel completely fine afterwards.
What's wrong with me and fruit? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help!
