Is there a substance that is in raisins but not grapes? Perhaps one that could cause allergies?

Sometimes, raisins during their drying process, get infected by some molds or yeasts.  The mold does not normally cause any problem for the average raisin eater, but some people do seem to react to it.  The same occurs with peanuts, black tea and many other products.

raisins are very healthy if you dont eat too many. The amount you are talking about is not bad, but just remember that raisins like any fruit have natural sugars, and eating too many of them can be just as bad as eating candy.

No!\n\nWhy would you take anything that you would be allergic too??\n\nThere are other medications on the market that do not have\nthis ingredient.

** Aquagenic urticaria -- hives that are triggered by contact with sweat or with water. In these people, exercise itself is not a trigger, and they can drink water without a problem. ** \n** This is from Dr. Greene's site... \n\n\nHives Caused by Ingestion or Inhalation\n\nApproximately 70% of the time, what causes a case of hives cannot be determined. This list covers many of the common causes of hives, but is not exhaustive. These are things that you may want to consider cutting out if you have hives.\n\nIngestion or Inhalation\nWhen the source of hives can be determined, most cases are caused by ingestion of a substance. Drugs can suddenly cause hives even if the person has been taking them for years. Many foods or food additives can also cause hives suddenly, even in small amounts. I am including inhaled allergens under ingestion because these are foreign substances that are taken into the body.\n\nDrugs\n\n    * Penicillin\n    * Aspirin\n    * Sulfa antibiotics\n    * Morphine\n    * Codeine\n    * Polymyxin\n    * Dextran\n    * Curare\n    * Quinine\n    * Diuretics \n\nFoods\n\n    * Fish\n    * Shellfish\n    * Nuts\n    * Eggs\n    * Chocolate\n    * Strawberries\n    * Tomatoes\n    * Pork\n    * Cow's milk\n    * Cheese\n    * Wheat\n    * Yeast\n    * Citrus fruits \n\nFood Additives\n\n    * Salicylates\n    * Tartrazine (a dye)\n    * Benzoate\n    * Penicillin\n    * Sulfites \n\nInhaled Allergens\n\n    * Pollen\n    * Mold Spores\n    * Animal dander\n    * House dust \n\nGood Luck, Hives are a hassle, they few times I had them I took a bath with the Oatmeal Aveeno Bath.\n\n********************************************************************\n\nHow to Treat Hives Naturally\n\n\n\nHives are red blotchy swellings on the skin, which are usually the result of an allergic reaction. They are often very itchy and can be painful or cause a burning sensation.\n \nSteps:\n1.  Put cool, wet compresses on red areas to soothe itching.\n \n2.  Take a bath in oatmeal if hives cover a large area.\n \n3.  Add cornstarch to your regular bath.\n \n4.  Apply aloe vera gel to soothe skin and reduce discomfort.\n \n5.  Take acidophilus to help reduce an allergic reaction.\n \n6.  Take quercetin to help relieve inflammation and allergic reactions.\n \n7.  Supplement with 1,000mg vitamin C a day to help your immune system respond to allergens.\n \n8.  Use the herbs alfalfa, yellow dock, echinacea, ginseng, licorice and nettles.\n \n9.  Investigate the cause of the hives. Medications, insect bites or stings, certain foods and food additives, and certain plants are common culprits.\n \n10.  Avoid the substance that caused your hives.\n \n11.  Use an antihistamine for temporary relief of symptoms, particularly if hives are very severe or if overall allergic reaction is severe.\n \n \nWarnings:\nHives can be part of a very serious, even life threatening, allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. If you have an outbreak of hives accompanied by difficulty breathing, nausea or vomiting, chest pain, coughing or swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, seek immediate emergency assistance.\n \nIf symptoms persist or if you have specific medical conditions or concerns, we recommend you contact a physician. This information is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.\n \nTips from eHow Users:\nAveeno colloidal oatmeal bath by eHow Friend\nInstead of bathing in it, I mix it with a cup of water until it is a gooey, thick substance and put it on my hives. I find that this works much better than diluting it and bathing in it.\n \n  \nThanks.

Actually it matters who you talk to. But increasingly they are finding that it is the grapes (regardless of color) that are good for you, so whether it's wine or grape juice, red or white it's just as good for your heart and blood. Just try to stick to the ones that are "Organic" (no pesticides, etc) and have no sugar added if you really want to do it right!\nGood luck!

Never heard of that label, so wondering if it might mean one of two things:\n\n1.  No Sulfite Added (NSA) wines, that do not have measurable sulfites in them, which can contribute to headaches; or\n\n2.  Organic Wines, from grapes that have had no chemicals or fertilizers used in the growing of grapes and production of wine.\n\nBoth tend to be more expensive, but some folks think it's worth the extra cost to avoid the additives...

Grape seed extract. (taken internally). It helps with just about any allergy. It fights inflamation and needs to be taken one mq per pound of body weight. If this does not work increase the dose until it works. It has to saturate your body if you look up bioflavonoids you will see why it works.

What kind of restaurants?  To be honest, this sounds exactly like an allergic reaction to MSG, a food additive, to me!  And that would explain why it doesn't happen at home.

Could be a sinus infection or an allergy.

Somebody told me when you drink wine, what you're really drinking is toxins. So, lookit yourself as a different type of container what can't hold da contents.

Sorry, but it sounds like he has allergic reactions to these two food groups.  Only treatment is avoidance.  Given his severe symptoms, he should be motivated to do so!

Yes it could be an allergy to wheat or possibly yeast, but more than likely it is your body reacting to the re introduction of bread products so stear clear of such items wheat yeast maybe try pure rye bread from a natural foods store

here cant be allergy to sugars.\nbecause allergy involves immune response to foreign molecule.\nsugars are not foreign, and not big enough to elicit such a response.\nBut casein may elicit immune response.\nIf you cant do with lactose, it is called lactose intolerance.\nThis is because lactose is not metabolized by your body.\nSo certain other bacteria in your gut use it, and produce stomach upset.

Registered Nurse here; Could be a number of things, however the first thing that comes to my mind, is your diet.  If you have a tendency to eat a diet high in acid, like tomatos, tomatoe soup, pizza, Italian foods, Mexican foods, etc.  Your likely to get mouth ulcers at intervals.  Doesn't sound like an allergic reaction, sounds more like an irration.  One can take 30cc of Maalox, with Benedryl exlier, read on container and see the correct dosage of Benedryle mix the Benedryl and Maalox together, swiss in mouth for about 30 seconds and swallow, this will coat the lesions in the mouth and offer you relieve.  Strongly advise you to make an appointment and see your health care professional ASAP! If something is amidst your catching it early.  Thanks for the opportunity  to address your question.

Eating raisins helps.

Try and find out if you are allergic to oxalic acid derivatives. In my opinion Tomatoes contain plenty of this. However your product may be aprayed with insectide to which you are allergic. Place the tomatoes in a bowl of purified water for an hour to leach out any chemical residues. Try sourcing these from another grocer or possibly grow them yourself in your vegetable patch using natural manure without fertilizers.
