ummm....

what does it mean if my ears and throat get itchy after i eat an apple?

i dont remember this ever happening to me...but in the past two years when i eat apples my ears and throat get itchy.

not apple products...just apples

allergic :(. just make sure your throat doesn't swell

eta: i get it from carrots now where i never used to. maybe it's the weird chemicals

Mild allergy, maybe?

I posted something about pineapples making my lips itchy last week and that was the general consensus.

I posted this on facebook...and people kept writing im allergic.

i'm not gonna lie...im kinda upset. i like apples.

as long as it doesnt affect my ability to eat apple pie i'm good.

Or apple topping at ihop

AHHH THATS NOT FUNNY!!!

Luckily its not my fav. topping and i can live without it.

BUT STILL THATS NOT FUNNY!!!!!!

Well if it doesn't affect your being able to eat apple pie, then you should be alright with the apple topping, you know?

I still eat pineapple. It's one of my favorite things in the world. If I'm going down, let it be in a blaze of glory while eating pineapple.

that happens to me when i eat cherries...im pretty sure its just a mild allergy

good point. its just so weird that i can eat things with apples but not actual apples? i love mcdonalds apple pies.

I bet the cooking process changes the chemical makeup of it and/or lowers the acidity levels so your body's immune system doesn't have to attack the chemicals.

i have never heard of this
but be careful
pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

s*cks......apples are a great source of fiber

its a mild allergic reaction to either the apple or the chemicals they use to treat it. I get the same thing, but I used to eat a lot of apples when I was a kid (like, 8 a day) and the doctor told us that you can develop an allergy to something as you get older.

If you can, I would go to an allergist, get tested. Any reaction like that is a type of an allergic reaction and it needs to be watched

This is weird but jut be careful. Make sure it doesn´t get worse. And I TOTALLY agree with you about McDonalds apple pies!!!

Here they were selling them ala mode with soft vanilla ice cream with manjar wich is this really good topping that seems to be somwhere between butterscotch and caramel (I´m not a big fan of either but love manjar!!)

It was soooooo good!! This was the only reason I would go to McDonalds but now they don´t sell it!! Something about a new tax on importing things and its not worth it b.c they would loose money b.c noone would buy it at the price they would need to sell it to make money (I actually spoke to a manager to see why they were not carrying them!!! )

Sorry I´m going on!! Back to you!! I will pray for you that you can still eat the apple pies!! Theres no reason both of us should do without!!

I get this from Walnuts...

That is how it started a strange itch.... I would eat them and not care. Then it changed and I started feeling my gums swell a little.... That scared me a little but if they were ontop of a brownie fudge sundae I mean, c'mon what's a little swollen itchy gums right... haha...

Then I mentioned it to my mom who is a nurse and she SCREAMED AT ME!!!! She was freaking out that this time it was my gums it could have been my throat and I could die. I had never thought of that before.

Soooo needless to say I no longer eat walnuts ( i just order the sundae without them )

So please be careful. I am sorry you like them but if I were you I would stick to other fruit.

FH is allergic to certain fruit, especially apples..... he can eat them cooked in apple pie and stuff but cant bite into an apple. They say after a itchy throat ur throat could swell or close ....

i would just be careful

I agree w/ everyone who says it's allergies. I would be really careful though- maybe go to an allergist and get it checked out.

I'm allergic to a lottt of things, and while some of the allergies don't bother me like 99% of the time, sometimes they do. Ex: My allergies were really bad in mid August, and my entire body was gettiing covered in hives every day. That's neverrrrrrrrrrrr happened before.

allergy- i get weird things like that too, depends on what it is.
Some stuff I get red blotches on my arms, some my stomach freaks out, some my bottom lip swells, some my armpit itches...
just effects a certain part of your body diff then others.
