Beeing healthier than the average american isn't really a big accomplishment.

No, you don't.

I also have oral allergy syndrome, but I'm not vegan. I don't think it's related to veganism, or at the very least it isn't always.

Veganism and allergies aren't related.

You need to educate yourself on nutrition before you make idiotic comments. Oral Allergy Syndrome is completed unrelated to veganism. I've come across a whole bunch of people with it, none of whom were vegan before they developed the condition. Vegans who become sick on their diet do so because they aren't eating enough plant foods, not because that's all they're eating.

I was vegetarian for 6 years and I never developed allergies during that time.

I agree with you

Lol you're a ****** moron.

It's not something you can get better from. There is currently no cure for food allergy. I've had this same thing since 2006, the year I decided to become a vegetarian. And I have gone to several allergy doctors. (I'm no longer a vegetarian.) Initially, the symptoms were mild discomfort and not so bad. It gets worse overtime. And I've become allergic to more things. Now the sight of carrots strike fear in me. However, it's not that you can't eat any fruit and vegetable. You just need to cook/process them first to breakdown the enzyme that your body is allergic to. So while I may not be able to eat the salad, I can eat trays of stir-fry and roasted vegetables. I may not be able to eat apples, but apple chips or apple pies are ok. Tips for OP - cooking them with heat or microwave works, pickles are ok, frozen food breaks down the enzyme. Pasteurizing works (no fresh juice - bottled of pasteurized would be ok). Dried fruits and vegetables do not - you will still react to them. There are some fruits and vegetables like celery that the enzyme does not breakdown even with cooking. So try each slowly and watch out for them.

I have the same problem with raw vegetables. Even just steaming for a few minutes them will fix it. Not sure what to to about the seeds and (resumably) nuts though. Unless you're eating those raw rather than roasted?

Actually, I have a sister who's vegan. She's ALWAYS telling me to go vegan, how much better and healthier of a lifestyle it is. I always have to remind her that I can't do such a thing. As someone with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, carbs are a literal poison to my body. However, as researchers are beginning to figure out, completely taking away carbs and then reintroducing them is bad for the body. It has a 100% guarantee of gaining weight for such a thing. Sugar is another one. So I do a low amount of carbs. You should never completely take your body away from one thing.

Except we don't need meat so yeah you can completely take that away from your body. Carbs aren't meat....
