What should you know about birch tree allergy food list?

The immune response to birch pollen may recognise similar proteins in some raw plant foods. Possible examples include apple, pear, stone fruits, carrot, celery, and hazelnut. Reactions can involve mouth tingling, an itchy throat, or lip swelling soon after eating. The same person may tolerate a cooked form, but this cannot be assumed. A reaction deserves assessment even when it seems mild; read about [Food Allergy](/conditions/food-allergy/).

Keep a food-and-symptom diary that records preparation and timing. Avoid only foods that have caused a clear or repeated reaction until you receive advice, and maintain varied nutrition with suitable alternatives. Do not test a suspected food alone. A clinician may consider [Allergy Testing](/treatments/diagnostics-and-screening/allergy-testing/) and interpret the result with your history.

Seek emergency care for swelling of the tongue or throat, breathing problems, wheezing, widespread hives, repeated vomiting, marked dizziness, or collapse. This pattern may represent [Anaphylaxis](/conditions/anaphylaxis/). Use prescribed emergency medicine as directed and follow the emergency plan; see [Anaphylaxis Emergency Treatment](/treatments/acute-and-urgent-care/anaphylaxis-emergency-treatment/).
