    A few years ago I started getting allergies off certain fruits but now it's worse, I can't eat any type except oranges and banana's. Why is this happening? Fruit are my favourite food and it sucks that I can't eat them anymore :(

    Allergies do suck, i'm sorry that u have them.
    One of my nephews has a lot of allergies too (apples, dust mites and other things), and he was recently at the doctor's for that. The doctor basically said that allergies come and go, they can fully disappear one day, as much as they can appear out of nowhere one day.
    Be patient, and try to find other fruit u can eat safely... :)

    Fruits can cause you detox other things you're eating that are harming you...so you may have a reaction when you eat fruit, but it is due to other things that the fruit is providing your body the ideal conditions to cleanse itself of.

    Also unconventional produce may cause allergies, due to the pesticides, ripening chemicals etc. that are used in stores.

    The reason it may seem to be getting worse could be that your body is working better to cleanse itself...or your body could have a high toxic build-up that is exasperated by the fruit or the chemicals you're taking in from the fruit.

    Also eating unripe fruit can cause problems. Tons of people don't know that bananas are not ripe unless they are spotty. Oranges are ripe when they are sweet(not tart).

    Oh you're saying you can only eat bananas and oranges?

    Okay, so...what fruits are you eating? What else are you eating? When are you eating them? How much do you eat and what are the symptoms you're getting?

    Also, you need to drink a lot of water or you'll have problems with any food you eat, but you may notice it more with fruit.

    Do you buy your fruit from supermarkets?

    The first thing that came to my mind is GMOs. When a gene is inserted into a crop it introduces a new protein never seen in that crop before which can in turn produce new allergies.

    Try buying all your fruit from a farmer's market.
