Allergies

I have noted a few things that consistently make my stomach turn or my mouth hurt. Wondering if anyone in our family has the same reaction to any of the following and whether or not it is genetic:

Pineapple
Green Apples
Oranges
Soft Serve Ice Cream
Grapeftuit Juice

  1. I don't drink grapefruit juice- is it nasty?

    On a serious note, don't have a problem with any of the above, except green apples. I do get sores in my mouth every time i eat walnuts, and sometimes with banana's. Soft serve ice cream surprises me though, can you eat normal ice cream and be okay?

  4. Jeff hates Bananas. But I dont think that it gives him sores... more like he wont touch anything with bananas, or even flavored. I personally dont think that I have any allergies, but not a huge fan on eating walnuts. I love Grapefruit juice. Maybe its because of the Acidy (sp) levels? interesting.

  5. Pineapple actually often has that effect on people, because it contains an enzyme that breaks down proteins. So if you eat too much, it can make your tongue or mouth hurt like crazy!
