Hi Jane,
   My itchiness also occurs only with raw, vegetables and herb.
(specifically celery, carrots, dill and parsley which are all from the
same family) However, when they are cooked, my doctor said that the
composition of the food changes, which is why we don't react to them.
    So, have you tried eating canned peaches or pears? Just
wondering.
