What Causes Allergic Reaction To Certain Food Items?

I had eaten cranberry relish about ten years ago. About 2 hours later I started itching at the back of my head. Wound up having a sunburn looking rash all over. Had hives on the sensitive parts of my body(arm pits, back of knees, neck, and my lips swelled like I had been in a boxing match and lost. I took benydryl and it went away except I wound up with 5 hugh cold sores on my mouth. Have had lesser reactions to peanuts and pistachios. I recently at a mango processed in a drink with chardonay. I had the same horrable reaction that I had 10 years ago. Except it took several days for the cold sores to appear. And my lips did not swell as bad. I think I had hives in my ear canals. Benedryl worked again. should I be concerned about any other foods that may be common for causing this allergic reaction?

It is not fixed .Some person develop allergy to one particular food others do not.

It is better to keep some emergency medicine like AVIL 50 mg /levocetrizine 5 mg tablet /LEVOLIN MDI...readily available for emergency.

Thank you.
