Developed a food allergy??
I have always eaten squash, but starting a few months ago, I get violently ill about thirty minutes after eating. I instantly have diarrhea and vomiting. Is it possible to develop a food allergy or is something else going on? I used to eat it a lot! The symptoms last until it has all left my body.
