I am trying to find out if anyone became allergic to any foods after surgery that you weren't allergiec to before surgery...
Well after my bought with poison ivy last week, I now have a new "itchy rash" that is not poison ivy. I went to my dr. today and she thinks it is a food allergy... hmmm.. never been allergic to anything food related in my life!

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this.

I personally have not had a problem with allergies, just with things not setting well. Many can develop an intolorance to dairy post-op. Maybe lactaid would be a good thing to try?
Best of luck in figuring this out, and let us know what you discover!

 I am guessing you actually had food allergies but never new. because it is such an extreme elmination diet you will now notice when you add in things.. I have food allergies already so I had to do this to figure out what they were.

Wishing you all the best in figuring out the rash Ledaizey.  Could be an allergy, eliminate and add foods to get the answer.  Common allergies occur to peanuts, dairy, and many other things.  No experience with new allergies myself, my allergies appears to be environmental and seasonal.  Hugs
