first of all i have a doctor appt. for next week (soonest i could get in) however i think i am allergic to carrots, potatos and tomatos.
is it even possible? i have ate them my whole life. now for the last couple of months whenever i eat them within hours my lips mouth and face swell really bad.
at least this seems to be what causes it.
i had a baby 5-6 months ago if that makes any difference.
the only other thing i was thinkin was a thyroid issue....
any opinions or thoughts. im stressing myself out lately with this.

Yep, it is possible to develop them at any time in your life -
Yes, it is possible, especially after having a child.

My allergies go into overdrive when preg... likely something to do with high hormone levels.
My food coloring sensitivity first revealed during a pregnancy.

Having a child can completely change your body in a multitude of ways. Everything from your skin and hair to your bones and joints is effected by having children. A lot of women have medical issues that "pop up" after having children, or their prior conditions can get significantly better or worse. I would trade your food allergies for my post-baby medical problems any day.

At the end of my pregnancy I developed high blood pressure that I still have 5 years later. I found out that I had PCOS, which they said I would have had prior to pregnancy, but pregnancy brought out all of the symptoms. Plus, It made my psoriasis worse. Unrelated, as far as I know, I also have allergies and chronic sinus infections. I feel like I am falling apart :(

I developed tree nut allergies after having my oldest. Every time you're exposed puts you one step closer to a severe anaphylactic shock. Avoid what you think might be triggering your allergy.
