This birch pollen allergy really makes life complicated!
Birch Pollen Allergy: List of Foods to Avoid or Limit
Last night I made myself a smoothie with 2 eggs, yogurt and
a banana.
Within 5 minutes the glands under my chin swelled, and I was struggling to swallow.
The problem wore off in about 2 hours after taking an antihistamine lozenge, but I didn't risk sleeping until it did.
As I am struggling to breathe, the added complication of struggling to swallow was alarming.
The birch trees have finished pollen release but I seem to be having a slow recovery from their effects.
One simple bit of advice - never live near a dense planting of birch trees - you may not be a hay fever sufferer when you move there, but after a few years you likely will be.
