Asthma Info: " How many of you are allergic to Garlic?"?

" How many of you are allergic to Garlic?"?At Nine years old, I found out I was allergic to garlic. Doctors I went to could not figure out why my body rejected garlic. When garlic hits my system it acts as a spong, I become dehydrated, weak, light headed and very ill. I will get sick (vomit) till my body gets rid of every bit of garlic that is in my system. Yes, it is a burden sometimes. Most of my favorite foods has garlic in them. When grocery shopping, I have to check on the labels of different foods (ingredients) to make sure there is no garlic substances otherwise I may have to face the consequences and end up in the hospital. Other reactions are, fever, hot sweats, chills. It can take up to 2 weeks before my body fully recovers. I have studied other web sites (Allergies to Garlic) and viewed other people's reactions. Not one- experienced the same symptoms as me. What do you make of this? { My Family jokes with me and calls me a Vampire....LOL Which is quite amusing.} Do you know anyone who has these same reactions?
Of course, the only way I can have my favorite foods is to make it homemade. There are some sauces for pizza that do not have garlic. There are ways to work around my problem. I can live without garlic.
Although, I can have onions, and love onions. Those of you who are alleric to garlic....I feel bad for you- I know what it is like to have this burden. Those of you who think I am vampire...LOL Your funny as heck!...LOL =) I guess many people do believe in vampires- more than I realized...LOL=)
As far as sunlight goes...yes, I can go out in the sunlight but not very long because heat doesn't mix well with me either. I have to burn before I can tan...that sucks too...lol I guess this makes me a day-walker??...LMAO =)
Those of you who 'think' it's all in my mind...think again! After going to the hopital at nine years old a doctor had came to the conclusion I was allergic to garlic. The Dr. had to give me something to stop me from vomiting and to reduce my fever. They even didn't recommend garlic pills because my my reactions were so severe and didn't want to take the chance of me becoming ill all over again. The Dr. did ask me what did I eat in the past 12 to 24 hrs. My parents told him " Just spegetti with garlic bread." This is how the Dr. came up with the conclusion. At that age I did like garlic bread. Especially homemade garlic bread. I was sick for a week before my parents took me to the hospital. They though it was just a flu bug...There was a time recently where I eat someting with garlic in not knowing there was garlic in it. OMG...that was a horror show. While resting I had drank plently of ice water. In about a week and a half my body slowly had returned to normal.
