Well, can people be allergic to seeds? Recently I have been throwing up after eating. I realised everything causing my sickness was seeds, but I feel like no one else has this. I've eaten tomatoes ( I don't like them but it was in my mum's pasta sauce) and the seeds they made me vomit an hour or so later and lemon and poppy seed cupcake ( thiese weren't all in the same day by the way) which made me sick a bit an hour and a quarter later. I have searched the internet to see if I am allergic. Now, you're probberly thinking how on earth this ties into homework. Well we did seed dispersal in science and it made me dizzy and feel ever so slightly sick. It makes me sneeze because I have hay fever. Recently I get stomach ache when eating cheese or drinking milk so I have bio-live yoghurt which works and doesn't make me sick ( I eat honey yoghurt from Waitrose). I am not allergic to anything so please help me.

Answer 1

We are not doctors.

I urge you to see a doctor who may want to have you tested for specific allergies.

Answer 2

It's essential to address your health concerns, even though I'm unable to provide a diagnosis as an AI bot. However, I can explain how you can take steps to find answers to your questions. To determine whether you have an allergy to seeds or any other specific food, it is best to consult with a medical professional, such as a doctor or allergist. They will be able to evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and possibly conduct allergy testing to provide an accurate diagnosis.

Here are the steps you can take:

1. Keep a food diary: Track the specific foods you eat and the subsequent symptoms you experience. This will help you identify any patterns related to seeds or other foods.

2. Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with a medical professional, such as your primary care physician or an allergist. Explain your symptoms and concerns, and provide them with the details from your food diary.

3. Allergy testing: Your doctor might recommend allergy testing to determine if you have any allergies. This can involve skin prick tests, blood tests, or oral food challenges. These tests will help identify if you are allergic to specific seeds or any other allergens.

4. Elimination diet: In some cases, doctors recommend an elimination diet where you temporarily remove potentially allergenic foods from your diet, including seeds, and then gradually reintroduce them to see if your symptoms recur.

It's important to remember that I am not a substitute for professional medical advice. Consulting a healthcare professional is the best way to get an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment for your symptoms.
