Hello softball, it's nice to meet you, welcome to psych central.

Have you talked to a therapist about your fear? It sounds like your allergic reaction was pretty traumatic for you plus having to watch everything you eat must be very difficult for you to deal with.

I definitely recommend talking to someone about this, it may really help.
