Man, I'm sorry, that sounds super sucky. Did you end up having to go to the hospital?

Interesting, I didn't know that same enzyme was found in other fruits, but that makes total sense.
I am slightly allergic to Pineapples, but I thought that it was just an oral allergy. Boo.

It is sad, and very frustrating, though good to hear you can *usually* eat cooked, freeze dried, or frozen fruit.

My allergies have been getting worse as well, so might have to try some of those (well, maybe not freeze dried, unless they don't have powder). As far as fresh fruit, it started with bananas and has morphed into cantaloupe, watermelon, avocados, and sometimes pineapples, which I love. I don't care for the refreshers that much so I don't drink them anyway, and I haven't noticed issues with the teas, though I rarely drink tea.

I read that sometimes allergy shots can help with OAS (Oral Allergy Syndrome). I hope that your allergies hold off and you can still enjoy fruits for a long time!
