This symptom is characterized by discomfort or pain in the area between the chest and the hips. It is a common reaction to legume allergies and may range from a mild discomfort to severe pain.
Hives are raised, red, itchy welts of various sizes that appear on the skin. They are a common allergic reaction and can appear as a result of a legume allergy.
Someone with a legume allergy may experience difficulty breathing, characterized by shortness of breath, wheezing or even anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that requires immediate medical attention.
These symptoms are often associated with allergic reactions, including legume allergies. Itchy or watery eyes can be uncomfortable and may be accompanied by nasal congestion or a runny nose.
Another common symptom of a legume allergy is gastrointestinal distress, which can include vomiting or diarrhea. This is a result of the body trying to quickly eliminate the allergenic substance.
Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. Symptoms can include a rapid, weak pulse; skin rash; and nausea and vomiting. If someone with a legume allergy shows signs of anaphylaxis, seek immediate medical attention.

Recognize the Signs and Symptoms of Legume Allergy
Just like other food allergies, the symptoms of a legume allergy can range from mild to severe and include:
Consider History of Ingestion
Draw the connection to the legumes by realizing that your symptoms develop shortly after eating legumes. They may have been contained in a meal without you knowing, so consider everything you ate before the symptoms began.
Undergo Allergy Testing
Your allergist may perform skin-prick tests or blood tests to see if there are antibodies to the proteins found in legumes in your body. The results of these tests, along with your symptoms and food history, will help your allergist to confirm if you’re allergic to legumes.

Am I eligible?
If you have been diagnosed with a legume allergy or have had reactions to legumes, it may be best to avoid them altogether. Legumes are found in a variety of foods, so this will require careful reading of food labels. Remember, legumes include peas, lentils, beans, peanuts, soybeans, and more.
If you suspect that you are allergic to legumes, the best course of action is to seek professional medical advice. A doctor can perform appropriate tests to confirm whether you have an allergy and suggest suitable alternatives if necessary. They can also give you advice on handling cross-contamination risks and emergency procedures for severe reactions.
Education is a powerful tool in managing your legume allergy. Learn to read and understand food labels, be aware of cross-contamination risks when eating out or at social gatherings, and educate your friends, family, and coworkers about your allergy. The more informed they are, the better they can help prevent you from coming into contact with legumes.
If you have a severe legume allergy, you should always have an Epinephrine Auto-Injector (EpiPen) with you. In the event of an accidental exposure to legumes, the EpiPen can be a lifesaver, helping to counteract severe allergic reaction symptoms until medical help arrives. Make sure you and those around you know how to use it correctly.
