What's in walnuts that gives me mouth sores? Allergy or sensitivity? Herpes.

I eat pecans, pistacios, almonds, peanuts, macadamias, all with no probs at all. Only the walnuts cause mouth sores. Just wondering if it's something specific that I should be aware of in other foods as well? SignatureJK Sinrod Sinrod Stained Glass Studios www.sinrodstudios.com Coney Island Memories www.sinrodstudios.com/coneymemories > I eat pecans, pistacios, almonds, peanuts, > macadamias, all with no probs at all. Only the walnuts cause mouth sores. I eat barley, rye, oats, corn and rice, all with no probs at all (so long as I am carefull with portion size as they are carby). Only the wheat causes symptoms. > Just wondering if it's something specific that I should be aware of in other > foods as well? It sounds to me like it is a specific food allergy or intollerance similar in pattern to my specific one. Avoid walnuts, eat other types. You would want to be careful with baked goods if you weren't low carb but it is something to remember if you decide to go with a different type of plan: No matter what type of plan you go on you should avoid walnuts from here on in. > That's the odd thing.

This may or may not be of interest to you...I have a parrot who can eat any kind of nut - or any kind of food, actually - and be fine, but gets mouth sores (well, tongue sores) from walnuts. I'd mentioned it on a couple of bird lists and several people said that the same thing happened to them, and it's not that uncommon for folks to get sores from walnuts That doesn't tell you what causes them, but you're not alone at least :). SignatureSherry 364/320/195 low carb since 4/4/05 NEW - My Low Carb site: http://lowcarb.owly.net It's more than that, dear. The entire world, though chewy, has a specific nutty taste to it. The only redeeming quality is the fiber content. >> What's in walnuts that gives me mouth sores?
