OK, so I have food allergies to quiet a few fruits and veggies that makes is very uncomfortable or even impossible to eat these things. I get an itchy mouth and throat and sometimes my throat will swell and my lips will swell.

So what is a girl to do who wants to loose weight but cannot eat most of the things one would normally eat to loose weight? I cannot sit and eat a bowl of fruit or have some fruit for a snack.

Any advice would help. I was told by my doctor to go to an allergist but he said he wasn't sure they could help with the food allergies.

Hi crazylou,
If your throat swells it can be very dangerous, anaphylactic shock can kill so you need to be treated by a specialist in allergies to determine what is safe for you. If you have a reaction in their presence they can arrest it with medication. Be very careful about advice from people that are not qualified to give this type of advice.

Cheers
