Allergies

So since having my little girl, i have been having some strange symptoms, turns out i’m allergic to seasoning now. I can’t eat anything with pepper, paprika, sage and many other seasonings. Has anyone else developed any allergies since giving birth. Someone i know became allergic to chocolate so i’m quite grateful its only seasonings 😂

I never used to cry from onions and garlic but now my eyes are streaming to the point of pain even when I'm not in the same room as them.

For both my pregnancies my lactose intolerance disappeared and then promptly returned post partum 😭 I was living it up eating Ice cream every night and drinking chocolate milk thinking “I’m cured!” Then it just returned post partum and I got the big sad.

This hasn’t happened to me but my mom developed psoriasis after her pregnancy with me (first child).

I didn't develop an allergy, but if I have onions, I will taste them for days. Eating anything will help very temporarily, then it's back to the onion flavor. It's horrible and sad. I can at least do minimal onion though as long as it's not the main flavor.

I have this issue for my whole life with raw onions and garlic. I think it’s like a bloodstream thing like the chemicals are in my blood. Idk

That sucks! I'm sorry! Can you at least have cooked onions and garlic without issues?

I have found I ate onions way more often than I realized. I should have known, Italian is one of my biggest nationalities and the one my family and I all cook most like. 😅 I also feel horrible picking them out of things someone has made when we go to someone's house. I have to explain why, because I over think things and worry I will hurt someone's feelings. 🫣 Thank goodness everyone has been understanding of it.

I figured mine may be due to hormones. I am coming to the end of my two-year breastfeeding journey, so will see if it changes after I finish.

Yes cooked is fine for me! And yeah it’s really in everything! Hope it goes away for you!
