Hi Galena,

Food allergies can develop at any time to foods that were once tolerable. They are commonly associated with different types of protein and can arise in response to beef or pork. I myself developed a severe shellfish allergy after years of eating shellfish with no problem. When I asked my allergist about it we skin tested and it came back positive.

I agree with Mrs. D about the MSG or additives. Your mention of pork fried rice made me think the same thing.

You could ask your doctor about this or see and allergy/asthma specialist who would be more familiar with these issues. If you do have an allergy, symptoms can worsen with ongoing exposure. It is always reasonable to make sure something else isn't going on medically before attributing symptoms to CRPS.
