My Story

Heya. This is my story. When I was eighteen after weeks of tests and observation I was diagnosed with a birch pollen allergy. I think that I have oral allergy syndrome but this is unconfirmed. I cannot eat spicy food at all. It affects my body. I get sick whenever I have spicy food at parties and so on. I have to watch my diet. I love to eat sweet food however.

  1. Heya. I will aim to do this. Thank you. I’m going to talk with my family doctor early next week in order to start off on the process of testing. To answer your other question no I’m much more of a sweet lover. Nice to meet you too.

    1. I'm glad to hear you're planning to speak with your family doctor, I hope it goes well! Keep me posted on what they say and how you're feeling. -Alexa (Allergies.net moderator)

  2. Hi ! Thank you for sharing your story with us. What is it like managing your allergies? You mentioned you can't eat spicy foods, is that something you miss? Also, I'm curious to hear why you think you may have oral allergy syndrome. Is this something you're speaking with your doctor about? All the best, Alexa (Allergies.net moderator)
