Did I develop an allergy?

[Anonymous]

So for the past few nights I have been having stirfrys, and as a sauce I put in sun dried tomatoe salad dressing to give it extra flavor but lately, after I eat it about an hour later, I can't move because one slight move and I feel like I'm going to be sick! I don't eat much maybe about 2 cups of it and I'm full so it's not that I'm over eating! Same with spaghetti, I have tomatoe sauce on it and right after no matter how much I eat of it, I still can't move cause I feel like I'm going to throw up! This goes on for a good few hours of this not being able to move! Like I can get up to walk around but I feel really nauseous and I look really pale in the mirror! So did I develop an allergy to tomatoes? Or is this an intolerance? Thank you so much for answering!!! This has been going on for at least a year or 2! But I never really thought much about it till I started using the salad dressing! Then I put 2 and 2 together!

It's possible to develop an allergy to tomatoes (or something else in these foods you're having issues with).

To find out for sure what the situation is, you'd need to see a doctor, and probably get a referral to an allergy specialist. And in the meantime just stay away from the maters.

Yeah it prolly is an allergy to something. Same thing happened to me when i was little and it ended up being a wheat allergy that i had from age 6 to 14. If you suspect it is from tomatoes, stop eating anything tomato related immediately and get an allergy test.

The thing about sauces is that it can be anything in the sauce causing the reaction. I def agree with @detlef Get in to see an allergist as soon as possible before the reactions get worse.

Also try keeping a food journal and write down how you feel after eating.
