You are my foodie mentor.Ha! Ha! Hey I forgot to ask, what did you think of the honeycomb?
I’m still waiting for @Rinse & rePeat and @Jennifer to report back on any bee bread experiments to see if they’re getting on the bandwagon!

Bummer. What in the honey are you putting it down to, salicylate maybe?I’ve had to give up honey for the unseeable future—it was causing the tinnitus and allergy to fruit I had developed. Since removing it from my diet, I’m finally free of the ringing and consuming at least 4 kilos worth of fruit daily without issue.
I loved it! I liked chewing the wax after sucking out the honey. lol
Sadly, my last experiment with honey ended with the honeycomb. I planned on making the bee bread next, but I’ve had to give up honey for the unseeable future—it was causing the tinnitus and allergy to fruit I had developed. Since removing it from my diet, I’m finally free of the ringing and consuming at least 4 kilos worth of fruit daily without issue.

I am liking these lately. They come in several flavors, but I have only tried the parmesan garlic. I have pepper jack and gouda ordered and on the way!

Oh wow! You were eating a crazy lot of it. Didn't you say sometimes a whole jar in a day?
Actually most of the vegan icecreams are coconut based and have less additives and the coconut flavour really complements a lot of icecream flavours anyway, so in a weird unexpected way they end up being kind of more authentic and less contaminated than the dairy icecreams.
Sounds like you may have an INTOLERANCE to salycites....Yep, some days I was going through a kilo of it to make up for the lack of ripe fruit. Honey came back as non-allergenic on my prick test so I figured it was safe and I must have been reacting to something else in my diet. It took eating one food for days at a time to narrow it down. Knowing what I know now, I was reacting to honey even years before when I was having just a spoonful of it a day.

"Salicylates are naturally occurring chemicals that protect plants against bacteria, pests and disease. People with salicylate sensitivity can have adverse reactions to the accumulation of salicylates in their body. People with tinnitus can experience a worsening of their symptoms when exposed to salicylates, according to the Journal of Neurosciences. Foods that contain salicylates include fruits such as dried fruit, blackberries, blueberries, boysenberry, oranges, pineapples, raisins, raspberries, strawberries and tangerines. Vegetables with salicylates include peppers, tomatoes, and canned green olives. Other foods with salicylates include almonds, peanuts with skins on, coconut oil, olive oil, processed lunch meats, corn syrup, honey, jams and peppermint."

(801) 566-8304 | Around 50 million Americans get that annoying ringing, roaring, whistling, hissing, clanging or shrieking sound in their ears. Tinnitus often occurs because the tiny hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, producing constant stimulation of aural nerves. There are many factors...southvalleyent.com
Thank you for the link, Rinse. The plants I consume are all high or very high in salicylates but I don’t react to them, only honey.
So since you started the honey you could no longer tolerate the fruit you were eating before? I think I’m in the same boat right now. I started eating massive amounts of honey and I’ve become sensitive to melons and pineapple. I found this post and it seems like this matches my experience, instead of coconut oil it’s honey causing me cross reactions.I’ve had to give up honey for the unseeable future—it was causing the tinnitus and allergy to fruit I had developed.
I have also noticed the feeling of a lump in the throat if I overdo coconut oil (Th2 immunogenic response,) and I think this is via several mechanisms. Coconut oil contains salicylates, which I suspect can cross-react with fruit salicylates
I start getting dyspepsia, congestion and skin rashes that I did not have from honeydew or pineapple before I started the honey. I was eating 200+ grams of honey a day and now it only takes one spoon full to induce painful headaches and hives on my face. I will report back if I figure anything else out ?@aniciete, yep, exactly that. What symptoms do you experience when you have melons and pineapple? I thought maybe it had to do with honey’s acidity irritating my gut because I was running to the bathroom within minutes of having some or that I had built up a pollen allergy because I was consuming so much of it and melons, particularly honeydew, my main melon of choice, are a common trigger for those with pollen allergies. When I did the skin prick test, honey was tested, but it didn’t produce a reaction other than a red spot—if allergic, it would have produced a hive—but if I eat honey, I get hives within minutes. Fruits weren’t tested, though, I suppose it doesn’t matter because honey came back negative and yet I clearly have an allergic reaction to it. I consume herbs daily that are high in salicylates and other compounds plentiful in fruit, but I have no reactions to them so I really don’t know the cause. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. If you figure out the cause, would you mind letting me know?
