Hi all, I’ve suspected for a while that I've been allergic to orange juice, as whenever I drink it I break out in a very red, very itchy rash that spreads like wildfire. It doesn't happen until about 3-4 hours after I've had the juice and I don't have to have much of it for it to happen. I thought maybe it was the detergent I use to clean my clothes, but if that were so then wouldn't I get the rash every day? Seems to just happen with OJ, and only for the past year or so.


Answer:
Why don't you not drink any orange juice for a long while and see if it turns up at all, if it does then its not apt to be caused by the juice.
Have you tried different detergent? or a natural detergent that's designed for people who are sensitive?
Experiment with it, you can generally find out the problem before going and getting allergy tested, if it doesn't come back after you’ve stopped drinking orange juice, then it was most likely the orange juice. You can also use this method with the detergent.

Answer:
I cant diagnose anything because I’m not an MD, but I would advocate going to your physician and taking an allergy test that way you know for sure. That way, if it is the OJ that is causing this you will know for sure and you can prevent the rashes from happening. Also, if it isn’t the OJ or an allergic reaction to something, it can be more serious than you think, but only a doctor can diagnose. In any event, it would be best to seek medical help. Ideal of luck!

Answer:
u should go to a doctor to test it out
