I have been recently diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and I'm wondering if I can eat banana. Can anyone tell me if this is a food I should avoid? I don't know what to do and would really appreciate some advice from people who have experience with this condition. Is this something that I should avoid altogether or can I have it in moderation? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Food allergies are when your body has an allergic reaction to a specific food, such as peanuts, eggs, or shellfish. Allergic rhinitis is when your body has an allergic reaction to something in the air, such as pollen or animal dander.
