avocado? How unfair is that? it's killing me! I can barely breathe from the pain!
Nothing appears to be MOVING either. Stupid disease. 
I really feel like I'm going to throw up.
I've had avocado a dozen times and never reacted. I was fine today, ate 100% safe today and yesterday.
not fair at all. I'm supposed to help out at Dh's restaaurant tonight. Ugh, not in this condition!

Poor you! Are you sure it's an attack and not a virus or something? Either way, that's a bummer! Rest and feel better soon, I hope!

I've been so stressed out this month, it's been like a merry go round that won't stop. I htink the avocado was definitely the trigger(I felt all itchy mouth for a while, then 10 mins later PAIN!)but stress has kept me from stable since a month ago or longer.
Why, when I'm not even working?

Ack! Stress sucks! It's so hard to figure out how to control it as well--especially when good stress is still STRESS. I guess we all need times where nothing really good and nothing really bad happens.

OMG! I get this from banana's and avocado's all the time! I thought I was just a weirdo as when I told DH he looked at me like I was quite mad. It's a weird itchy stingy sensation! Maybe it's a food intolerance? That's what I've always put it down to. Hope you feel better soon. Stress sucks, it's my main trigger

banannas and avacados contain tyramine, it is a chemical that triggers my migraines, so I can't eat them. Maybe tyramine also causes your itchy mouths. Luckily though, banannas and avacados are the only things I know that have tyramine.

I get this really badly with bananas and kiwis, I tested big time allergic on an allergy test. Best to avoid completely, I was told.

Hey Shannon,
I am so sorry that you got so sick again!
Try to keep in mind that you GOT stable once, and you'll get there again! There are always bound to be bumps in the road, right?
I know it sucks that you are sick when you aren't even working, but AT LEAST you aren't working right? Sometimes when I get really sick, I try to think like, "Well, at least I have nothing to do today and can just try to relax and feel better and not worry about anything else".
I really hope you feel better soon, I would def. avoid avocados for a while. Maybe if you are feeling any kind of stress or just feeling more fragile in any way, remember to avoid it for when you are super stable.
Hope your tummy starts behaving itself VERY soon!
**hugs**

hmm, come to think of it, condoms REALLY used to bother me!
I wonder if it's a latex allergy?? Yes, I get that weird sensation from bananas too but thought how could THAT be an allergy??
Time for testing.
