![]() Sadly, NO, NOT OK! Basically I look like I’ve been lying out on the sun and have a bad case of sunburn, but the skin is also swollen, my eyes keep running, my nose is blocked and I feel soooo itchy. I can tolerate it in very tiny quantities and have been trying to reintroduce it to my diet so I thought this would be OK. Who on earth is intolerant to coriander? Well I am. I can take a few anti-histamines, which help, but it has to work its way out of my system so I have a few painful days ahead of me.Īt least I think it could have been the coriander that caused this latest reaction. Does anyone else have this? It’s like a cape of dark foreboding, I know what’s coming, the burnt crusty itchy skin that I get after eating processed food is on its way, and there is nothing I can do to stop it. I tried to ignore this as best I could, but as we went to leave the fog began to descend. I did notice my chin was itching later in the day. I still read the full ingredients list thoroughly and couldn’t see anything that sounded nasty, but… I think I was coriandered! It also said that it contained Sesame, wheat, gluten, fish and soya. Normally I wouldn’t have even gone near, but the packet said it contained No Nuts so that was one tick in the box. However, this weekend, at my niece’s 5th birthday party I succumbed to the Tesco’s Chinese Selection. That’s because I am very very careful about what I eat and am always prepared. ![]() It’s been a while since I had a major flare up like this. Just intolerant seems to indicate the reaction might be quite mild, but let me tell you, I can be knocked completely sideways by some of these nasty foods I’m intolerant to. These are things that I am just intolerant to, not allergic. With me I can eat the food fine, no swelling, no anaphylaxis, (unless it had contained nuts or dairy) but there are some little ingredients, which I have not yet identified which send me into a spin. When I eat out – even if I’m really careful, things can and do go badly wrong. This week I’m recovering from a particularly nasty allergy flare up.
