Question about food allergies? Am I allergic to mangoes?

[Anonymous]

I haven't eaten anything in hours besides a smoothie which had mangoes, yogurt, strawberries, peaches, and apple juice in it. I just became nauseous and got the feeling I'm going to throw up including having a bad taste in my mouth. My mom drank some of the smoothie and feels fine. I know for certain I'm not allergic to yogurt, strawberries, peaches, or apple juice. I have had dried mango before and while the taste was not the best I was fine. What could be causing this?

It could be some very mild food poisoning. Probably some bad bacteria growing on the fruits used to make your smoothie.

Your mother probably didn't drink as much as you did, or she is simply bigger than you and it had less an effect. Nausea is generally not associated with allergies. If you were allergic, I would expect you to become red, itchy or grow bumps on your skin.
