Swelling, also known as angioedema, or hives on the face or other parts of the body can occur as a reaction to cinnamon. This is an immediate response to the allergen and is typically accompanied by itching and redness.
Some people may experience shortness of breath or difficulties in breathing after cinnamon ingestion. This can escalate to a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis, which is a medical emergency and requires immediate attention.
Rhinitis, or inflammation of the nose, is another common symptom of a cinnamon allergy. This can cause symptoms such as sneezing, an itchy or runny nose, and nasal congestion.
Abdominal pain often occurs due to the body's adverse reaction to the allergen, causing an upset stomach, pain, and discomfort. This might be accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, or other gastrointestinal problems.
An allergic reaction to cinnamon can cause the eyes to become itchy and watery, with the feeling of a foreign body in the eyes. This symptom is often related to allergic conjunctivitis.
Dermatitis, or inflammation of the skin, can be a symptom of a cinnamon allergy. This can cause the skin to become itchy, dry, and cracked, and may also lead to a rash or bumps on the skin.

Understand the Symptoms of a Cinnamon Allergy
Monitor Your Symptoms Upon Cinnamon Exposure
Since food allergies can sometimes cause delayed reactions, keep a close watch on any out-of-the-ordinary health issues in the few hours after you consume cinnamon. In fact, it may be beneficial to keep a food diary to track what you eat and any related symptoms.
Consult with a Medical Professional
If the above symptoms persist whenever you consume or come into contact with cinnamon, consult with a healthcare provider. They may refer you to an allergist for further testing to confirm a cinnamon allergy.
Note Your Body's Reaction to Different Types of Cinnamon
There are different types of cinnamon, such as Ceylon cinnamon and cassia cinnamon. It is possible to be allergic to one type and not another. Pay attention to the type of cinnamon that you are consuming when symptoms arise.

Avoiding direct consumption or usage of Cinnamon is the most straightforward way to prevent any cinnamon allergy. This means staying away from food items, cosmetics, or any other products with Cinnamon as the primary ingredient. However, it is essential to read labels carefully as some products may not explicitly mention Cinnamon.
Getting an allergy test done is another good way to avoid a Cinnamon allergy if you suspect you might have one. An allergist can confirm if you're allergic to cinnamon or not, helping you take the necessary precautions to avoid exposure to it.
Being allergic to Cinnamon doesn't have to limit your culinary experiences. You can always use alternatives like nutmeg, allspice, or pumpkin spice that give a similar flavor to your dishes without triggering an allergic reaction.
Always notify family, friends, or anyone preparing food for you about your allergy. It will help them to avoid using Cinnamon in anything they prepare for you, thereby preventing accidental ingestion.
