I'm wondering if any of you have heard of this. I have always been able to eat shrimp, until recently. The last time I ate it, my throat got smaller and it was itchy. I can't eat lobster/crab. It makes me vomit, etc. Sorry if that was TMI. Aren't shrimp also considered a shellfish? I didn't think someone could have different allergic reactions to different types of shellfish. I also had never heard of someone developing an allergic reaction to a food in their adulthood.

It does happen - whether it is due to hormones or having children - many adults get weird allergies that they never had before. Just like a child out-growing some allergies - adults start to get allergies.

I'm sorry you have to go through this!

Thanks for that info. I never knew that could happen. Too bad too, because I LOVE shrimp. I guess now about the only seafood I can eat is fish; and I don't really like fish.

Too bad sarahlorrain you can't eat seafood (except fish). My cousin also have developed allergies to seafoods during her adulthood. She also gets rashes. Sometimes, she can't help eating a little of crab meat. She just always have her medicines ready.
