New food allergy? So confused

I've never been allergic to anything in the past, I had a baby in February and I'm not sure if I have developed a food allergy sometime since then. Let me say: I've been able to eat these since I was young. Last week, I had a chicken bacon ranch wrap (chicken,bacon,lettuce,cheese,&ranch) I was starving when I finally ate this so I kinda ate it really fast, within like 20 minutes my mouth started going numb and my tongue. And my throat as well, like I had just eaten a bunch of orajel. I just had another one today but from a different place. Once again I ate it pretty fast because I was hungry. Same thing happened again, my mouth started going numb and my throat. I took Benadryl both times. When I was pregnant I was on vacation and ate smores (really fast) lol it seems like either I 1. Have an allergy to something like wheat.... Or 2. My mouth goes numb when I eat too fast? Yessss I know this is/can be dangerous but I'm planning on calling Monday to see an allergist. Does anyone have any insight on what this could be? OH and I AM able to eat all of these ingredients in any other foods??? So what's the deal?

Lisa,

I am assuming the wraps were fast food? It could have been an MSG reaction. You mention being very hungry and eating quickly...

...the same thing happens to me sometimes if my stomach is empty and I eat processed or restaurant food.

I get a numb feeling around my mouth, and my chest gets super hot, like there is a fire ball trying to escape through my ribcage!

MSG is added to many foods. I don't always have a reaction...

...it depends on the amount of food/MSG consumed. If I have a really empty stomach, or have exercised, ect...

This is just my experience...but maybe something for you to look into...and start keeping a food journal about?

Best of luck with getting your answers!
