I ate peas last night for dinner and had a serious reaction to them. I eat hummus a lot and love it and have had no discernible reaction to it. Bearing in mind that I ate a huge amount of canned peas as a kid, I'm thinking that I am allergic to peas because they crossed the blood brain barrier back then. I didn't introduce chickpeas until about 10 years ago when I moved here from Ireland. It is possible then that my immune system has a reaction to peas but not chickpeas. So my theory is that it is possible to be allergic to only certain legumes. Thoughts anyone, or anybody has similar experiences?
Found the answer in one of Judi's posts on legumes on page 11.
Her words "As always, it is up to you to experience for yourself how you react to each legume. Some you may tolerate, others may give you immediate symptomatic feedback."
So peas aren't good for me but I can still eat hummus. Yaaaaay!!
