Can anyone shed some light onto this for me? The past couple of times I've eaten pistachios I've noticed that my mouth (roof of my mouth and opening to my throat) gets pretty itchy. I've never ever noticed this before. Is this a symptom of a new allergy or is this a common thing that people can have happen when they eat certain foods? (Like how if you eat some mango with the skin on it it can make your mouth itch). Just trying to figure out if I should stop eating them and get in for allergy testing ASAP or if it's no big deal. Sorry to ask, but I don't know a a lot about food allergies. :/. Thanks peas!  |

You need to stop eating them. It is an early symptom of an impending anaphylactic reaction. Anything that makes your lips, mouth or throat itch is a danger to you. The next time may cause swelling in the throat that blocks your airways. It happens FAST.

Sorry Pierkiss! Once you mentioned mangos it sounded like a tree nut allergy.
Hope these aren't your favorite foods. Good luck and let us know what you learn.

I wonder if this oral allergy is my problem? I've had allergy testing and it showed nothing, but I frequently have an itchy throat or ears. I'm going to have to pay attention to when it happens.
Pierkiss, I would definitely talk to your dr.

I'm glad you're going to stop eating them. It is not worth the risk if it turns out you're allergic to them.

Yep, definitely sounds like a pistachio allergy. My dd has the same thing. She also gets hives though. Weird thing, it's ONL pistachio nuts. No other nut. weird.

My DH has the oral allergy syndrome, there are some doctors who don't really believe it and will just either gloss over your 'reactions' or label it an allergy.
Basket lady, it's possible that is what you have. It's also possible that you may have an actual allergy so please be careful.

An oral allergy causes itching but isn't dangerous or a sign of anaphylaxis. So it isn't always that. But you would have to have testing to know for sure. I have that reaction to bananas and melon but I'm bot actually allergic. Only 2% of oral allergies progress into anaphylaxis. Good luck. Oh MSG does it for me too.
