I strongly suspect that it's fruit. Every time I make a green smoothie shortly after I drink it my throat feels sore and I get this horrible cough. I was coughing 24/7 for about a month until I went out of town and didn't have my vitamix. Coughing stopped cold. I just had my second smoothie since I've been back and I can feel that deep soreness and itch coming back. I mean, the soreness is so deep it feels like it's in my neck. Same thing happened with the first smoothie I had since coming back but the second one confirms it. What is going on? I can't deal with the idea of fresh fruits/veggies making me sick.
I've read it could be due to allergies to the pollens on the fruits but I don't have any allergies. I was tested as recently as 5 months ago. In the event that it IS some kind of freak allergy to the pollen is there anyway around it? This coughing gets so bad that it aggravates a bulging disk I have in my lower back to the point of not being able to sit down. I have to do something that doesn't involve me giving up my green smoothies!
