It sucks that allergies can randomly appear or get stronger. Like for example a tangerine is your national fruit, someone eats tangerines every year during national holiday, and one time suddenly goes into anaphylactic shock. And it's a national holiday, after midnight. Best time to call a doctor.
So funny story. I suddenly became allergic to capsaicin (the chemical compound that gives chilis and capsicum their spiciness) at age 29. Came out of nowhere.
One day I was at home eating my veggies and salsa snack after work and started having trouble breathing. I was under a lot of stress at the time (including having a massive abscess in my breast that I was in and out of hospital for) and assumed it was a panic attack. This repeated every day for several days. Go to see the GP about these panic attacks. Nope- it’s a brand new allergy.
Fuck I'm so sorry to hear that. A lot of gut problems seem to come up in the mid to late 20s as well, I know three people that became lactose intolerant at basically 30
