Do you have any uncommon allergies or intolerances?

I can’t eat anything acidic or over 8 grams of sugar or I’ll feel like my chest has just been split open. So no tomato sauce, no lemonade, no deserts.

Idk if Fructose intolerance is common in other places, at least not where I am from (Spain), which it sucks since almost everything has Fructose (and yes, this includes meat, not only vegetables and fruits, since processed meat has ton of bad stuff).
I'm only tolerant to a 20% of this, but still shitty, since I can't try new meals/drinks because I might end up really sick :/
not that weird but pine nuts, but i can eat any other seed and nut for whatever reason
I'm allergic to sun rays 😀 Literally. Both UVA and UVB
No one ever believes me but I'm allergic to cold, whenever I get cold my hands and face swell up and then I start having trouble breathing :D
Both me and my partner get severe allergic reactions to alcohol.
I get itchy rashes and hives and her throat swells so it’s a bit of a mess.
Well I am lactose intolerant, it's very common but somehow ppl still manage to forget that's a thing or think that it's not a huge issue when it can very well cripple me. I was given some cheese once and I was non functional for several days bc I was in so much agonising pain.
I'm allergic to beans (specifically red, black, brown and white beans, not soybeans or similar). If I eat beans I start to feel nauseous and puke. Very random allergy lmao.
Pollen, but it's common. Honey 🍯 Strawberry, apricot, other berries, but only if I eat it too much! So selfcontrol is my second name 😂
I don't know if that's common but I once had an allergic reaction to a product used to clean pillows. Yeah.
I have an autoimmune disease (celiacs disease) which causes an intolerance of gluten. It's actually mentally pretty hard sometimes when you're away from home and you're in an unclear situation what and where to eat but all in all I've learnt to deal with it I guess.
Idk I used be REALLY allergic to pollen so there were a few years where I'd be basically sick (extreme congestion and itching, I would go through half a box of tissues in a day at times and my throat was so itchy I wanted to rip it out) throughout spring because of how allergic I was to pollen, AND THEN there was one year where I couldn't eat most fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts, without getting mouth sores/blisters because of pollen being in them or something? I couldn't eat apples for years, as well as peaches, pears, etc. Because eating them would make mouth, and throat super itchy, also like tingly and it stung/blistered my lips. Apples were my favorite fruit before that happened so it was really annoying. But then my allergies got less and less bad over the years :) I can eat fruit again and during spring my allergies are at an average level, just some sneezing or slight itchiness, easily managed with some allergy relief pills. I've also gotten hives 2 times from eating fruit, once from blueberries and once from strawberries. The strawberry one was especially frustrating because I didn't even know I was having strawberry at all, they gave us infused water at a restaurant instead of plain water but didn't say so beforehand and I already started drinking it. I knew someone who was really allergic to strawberries so I imagine if they were there and had drank the water, that could have been dangerous for them! Luckily my allergic reaction was totally non life threatening or hospitalizing, just had to have allergy pills and waited it out (like 24-48 hours).
I'm allergic to avocados... Not even in the "fun" way, I'm literally laying down in agony like half an hour after eating them
I have like a hundred mild allergies but some of my uncommon ones would be sweet potatoes, pine/eucalyptus, some pesticides and propellants lmao
I have lactose intolerants, but that's not the wierd part, the wierd part is that it's temperamental. I could literally eat a whole bowl of milk and cereal, be fine, eat a tiny chocolate bar and my stomach gets upset. Or vise versa. Could also have a tiny bit of cheese, be fine, but my glass of milk makes my stomach upset. Or vise versa. It literally depends on what I have and on what day. Maybe it has to do with how much milk is used in the item? Idk.
I think I might be allergic to pumpkin seeds, not pumpkins though, just the seeds!
is it common to be allergic to perfume? i sneexe a lot and my eyes get watery
I'm highly allergic to corn. I am from the Midwest. Yes I know the irony. I have a ton of other allergies but being allergic to the staple crop of the country I live in is a bitter bitter hell. I miss corn. I miss it so bad, but it like... will kill me. 😭 intolerance suck so bad I'm sorry it's take so long for the medical field to get you some help. I really hope things go much more smoothly in the future ♡
Btw: I have been to the doctor for this. It took 2 doctors and 3 years for them to diagnose me with functional dyspepsia and smack me some omeprozol
