Hi JC and Paleocautionary People,
foods that,
>albeit paleo, must be used or handled with caution. Are there any such
>foods?
I have problems with nuts and seeds and their products. Eggs, because the
chickens are fed grains, give me allergic symptoms.
Latex is another one :
From: http://vanderbiltowc.wellsource.com/dh/Content.asp?ID=610:
So What's the Fruit Connection?
People who are allergic to latex products may experience allergic reactions
due to cross reactivity from a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, and
nuts. Cross reactivity occurs when your immune system mistakes a similar
protein or chemical composition in a food for the proteins found in latex,
according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology
(<http://www.aaaai.org>www.aaaai.org).
* These foods commonly trigger allergic symptoms in latex-sensitive
people: banana, avocado, chestnuts, hazel nuts, kiwi, melons, tomatoes,
carrots, celery, papaya, and potatoes.
Latex-sensitive people are at greater risk of developing severe food
reactions, known as anaphylaxis, which is a true 9-1-1 medical emergency.
The first signs of anaphylaxis may be a feeling of warmth, flushing,
tingling in the mouth or a red, itchy rash. Other symptoms may include
feeling lightheaded, shortness of breath, severe sneezing, anxiety, stomach
or uterine cramps, and/or vomiting and diarrhea.
Inulin: From:

Inulins are present in onions, leeks, garlic, bananas, asparagus and
artichokes, among other vegetables and fruits.
