It's been a summer full of very many smallish things gone wrong, but when they pile up like this, they're hard to chop down to size. Oh well....I'm a little better now.

When I was in the hospital, I had to check that I was allergic to both bananas and kiwis, so the nurse assumed I was allergic to latex. I told her I wasn't, and she was pretty surprised and said I definitely should watch out for it because latex allergies can be really severe.
Condoms and plastic gloves and stuff don't bother me NOW, but they said to watch out for it.
If they used to bother you, it does sound like that could be it... especially if the foods add up as well.
I'd be really careful in the future, 'cause those allergies can get really nasty!

who had bananas as a migraine trigger! Not a fan of avocados anyway, so I have even more of a reason now to stay away from them!

Yup. Also, banana and avocado are high in tyramine, which wrecks havoc on migraine sufferers.
I love both of the above, but due to my latex allergy and asthma and hideous migraine situation, they're out of the question.
I product too much histamine and get an ITCHY, HIVE-LIKE RASH.

Other things, off the top of my head that are high in tyramine:
Nuts/beans/legumes
Canned fish/shellfish
Pickles
Beer
Chocolate
Red Wine
Sauerkraut
Fermented foods in general
YOGURT, CHEESES, anything really AGED/fermented, dairy
bananas
avocados
Also, with certain AD's you are instructed to avoid high tyramine foods.

actually haven't had one in 6 mos-usu. in winter, but they were weird-they were only a little in my head and mostly in my eyes and stomach-so maybe were just IBS attacks that affected vision etc. ???
Plus since I quit coffee, it's gotten a looooot better.

Shannon, I hope you start feeling better soon! I completely sympathize, getting sick off things that you've had without incident so many times is one of the most frustrating things about IBS for me! It's happened to me numerous times in the last couple of months, too, usually as a combination of stress, heat, and hormones. Anyway, I hope this won't dissuade from eating avacados in the future when you're feeling more stable again. I know I tend to shy away from things that bothered me, even if it's totally irrational because I know it wasn't really because of them that I had problems! I also hope you're able to get away from your stress soon and start down the road to stability. Hang in there!

I have a histamine reaction to bananas. I got prick-tested for them at my allergist when I was 19. I have to avoid them at all costs or else I may develop an allergy to avacados and latex. Latex allergies can be so severe that patients die on the operating table due to exposure from latex gloves. I also avoid condoms for this reason-- they make great sheepskin ones but they don't protect from AIDS, so girls be careful!
Bananas and banana-flavored stuff has always given me headaches and D (along with runny eyes and nose and itchy face!) so I avoid them like the plague. A peel in the trash or a coworker eating one will make my throat itchy and start a headache too! I tell everyone at work to get those things away from me, or at least close their office doors when they have one open. People can be really accomodating sometimes if you give them a chance!
Avacados give me major D so I always avoid them anyway.
Foods that make my mouth tingle/break out in sores include lemon, orange, tomato, banana, avacado, onion, peach, nectarines, vinegar, grape, lime, strawberry, pineapple, kiwi, and others... I have a list on my fridge that I took to college with me so my roommates would understand I couldn't eat their cooking. Everybody always saw it and said "WHO'S this Nelly?! She should be DEAD!"
