New Allergies?
I recently had an allergic reaction (?) to food two days in a row. The only common denominator I could figure out between the two meals that caused it was garlic. The first reaction was more severe and felt like my throat was starting to swell. I had more garlic that night than the next. Thankfully, Benadryl did the trick. Anyone else have a new allergy pop up out of nowhere? Is that a fibro thing or just a wonky random thing?

You can develop an allergy at any point in your life. That's not related to Fibro. It is not fun combined with it though. I hope you feel better. Maybe you should talk to your doctor about it. If your reaction gets worse suddenly you could end up in trouble.
Good luck! If you do an allergy test, just know it's possible to have negative results but still have intolerances or allergic reactions. Allergy tests don't test every single protein or chemical that can trigger a reaction, just the most common.
You can become allergic to anything at any time. Allergies can do this with or without an underlying condition like fibro. Over exposure to anything can cause it too.
Benadryl is my go to as well. My last PCP said only use EpiPen if you actually stop breathing, and that only happened once 😅
I’ve had several allergies pop up as an adult over the years, from food to poison ivy. My doctor attributed these to my gut health at the time. Some of them went away when we addressed my gut issues, but they were mild in comparison.
But nothing that caused my throat to start swelling. That sounds scary. I’m so sorry. Glad the Benadryl worked! 😅
Echoing Donna here, I hope you’ll mention it to your doctor.
Very possible. I’m allergic to ginger of all things, showed up on my allergy tests
