Found out the hard way I'm allergic to Green Beans Now

Sorry to hear that when you are a vegetarian... looks like you have to watch your diet. Green beans are yummy but there is life without them.

Red Cherry - maybe you should visit an allergist. Sometimes 'new' allergies are pre-cursors to something else that's just around the corner. An allergist will be able to determine the extent of your food allergy and could in most cases tell you what to do to prevent or eliminate it completely. This worked for me on certain foods.

Case in point. Since birth I have been violently allergic to peanuts - could not even tolerate the SMELL of them. So I stayed away for years and years from anything peanutty of course. The allergist told me that sometimes with some people a 'cleansing' helps alleviate and in some cases, eliminates allergic reactions.
Well, I did the 'cleansing' thing last year because of my ulcer and colitis and Irritable bowel and since then I have had NO allergic reaction to peanuts. I do have my anaphylaxis 'pen' on standby, just in case but so far so good and I am enjoying PB & J sammiches too!

I'm not saying that everyone will have the same result that I did, but apparently some good things can and do come out of this sort of thing. Investigate via an allergist first before you try anything though and good luck to you and your health!
