Avoid those fruits.: Natalie - this is very worrisome as it could represent an allergic reaction. If your airway were to swell too much - it could prevent your from breathing. In this situation would recommend avoiding those particular fruits and evaluation by an allergist.

Allergy alert: Certain foods, and fruits are certainly food can elicit allergic reactions. Pineapple and citrus are key agents one might look at. Seek medical advice. Good luck!
