What foods are people with latex allergies not supposed to eat?

There are foods that cross react with rubber latex. However, having a latex allergy does not mean that you are automatically allergic to these foods. You may potentially develop allergies to these foods as their proteins are similar to latex.

These foods are

Avocado
Banana
Chestnut
Citrus fruit
Kiwi fruit
Grape
Fig
Mango
Melon
Papaya
Passion fruit
Peach
Peanut
Peppers
Pineapple
Plum
Potato (raw)
Tomato (raw)

It is not recommended that you remove these foods from your diet unless you develop symptoms. Otherwise you are unnecessarily depriving yourself of these foods and their nutrients.

I'm allergic to latex, but no one has ever told me not to eat certain foods. I have to tell dentists and doctors about the allergy so they will use latex-free gloves, I buy latex-free products when I can, and I can't be around an open paint can or in a freshly painted room/building. What does eating bananas do to people with latex allergies?
