food reactions

[burntcopper]

Okay, NOT an allergy query thing.

This one's for odd/uncommon reactions to food.

Not talking about caffeine and sugar for sending someone bouncing off the walls, that's fairly common. Or wine and cheese giving you a migraine.

Anything that brings on an odd reaction?

Example: mate of mine gags if given fresh coriander.

I go completely bouncing off walls with too much hydrogenated fat. I can consume sugar like no-one's business and have no noticeable difference. Hydrogenated fat, bouncing off the ceiling. Oh, and I upchuck if given suspensions.

A mate's little brother had an extreme reaction to colours - one blue smartie, took us an hour to scrape him off the ceiling. really. This was scientifically tested.

Fruit juices from concentrate; specifically strawberry, apple and grape; cause me to fold into a little ball of pain within ten minutes as my stomach attempts to punish me for trying to kill it.

I can take the raw fruits no problem, but a 250ml carton of strawberry Ribena will knock me sideways for an hour or two.

Hm. I'd never thought of that as an allergic reaction before, but it might be, according to a quick scan of the net.

Aside from that: Brussels sprouts and off milk - following an unfortunate childhood incident, I can tell sour milk from yards off and it never fails to induce heaves.
