Foods can be an issue if you have a severe latex allergy,  some people can also be allergic to these foods and not realise that they have a connection to latex, awareness is super important. 

If you have a latex allergy, you can sometimes have reactions to certain fruits and vegetables. These reactions occur in 30-50% of people with latex allergy.

They are known as "latex cross-reactive foods"

I used to absolutely love avocado, but I no longer feel safe eating one of my favourite foods now!

I cannot bring myself to eat bananas or kiwis either now.

So much for trying to eat healthy! A balanced diet is very important still but I am much more thoughtful with how I do eat healthily now!
