Re: & food elim diet/To Rie

[Guest guest]

You learn something new everyday, Rie! I had no idea that the fruits I am

allergic to relate to the pollens I am allergic to. Up until 3 years ago I

could

eat any fruit I want, until an allergic reaction to watermelon sent me to the

hospital. It was the closest I ever came to dying and was very scary. Now I

can no longer eat: any melon, cherries, kiwi, or strawberries. I loved those

fruits but they are not worth dying for!
