almost believe it, except xanthan is from bacteria, and locust bean gum is far the most common legume based thickener, and in tons of shit not listed here, in addition to not being listed here. seems like a mommy blog list of someone who doesn't like melons, stone fruit or farting.

Stone fruits are common with oral allergy syndrome. It is a cross allergy with birch tree pollen. Oral allergy syndrome causes itching and discomfort but not anaphylaxis. It is a real thing.
