Hey y'all! Got another noob question for ya. Aside from the occasional pg reaction, are there any food allergy reactions? Are the juice flavors natural? For example, I'm allergic to bananas but love them. Would it be safe to order banana flavor juice? Has anyone with peanut allergies tried peanut butter juice? My allergy isn't severe, I can eat small amounts of banana if it's diluted with other ingredients, like banana bread or banana cream pie. I did have a reaction from a strawberry-banana smoothie at McDonalds once. They must use a LOT of banana! My throat swells a bit, but as long as I don't eat too much, I'm ok. I would really love to get some choc-banana juice, but am a tad concerned about possible reactions. Am I being overly concerned? Thanks for the input!

I don't know what the flavorings are derived from, but it could certainly be the food itself. I would be concerned about inhaling a possible allergen. If you're throat swells some with the food, imagine what it would be like if the allergic reaction were in your lungs.
Of course, that's easy for me to say, I detest bananas.

Thats not a noob question - its a very interesting one.
Im not sure if all flavorings contain actual extracts from the food item they mimic. In all honesty if I had your kind of allergy Id be very wary of experimenting. VG and PG are both humectants so they are drying - add that to a possible allergic reaction (like throat swelling) and I dont think Id like the results.
A lot of companies use a chemical soup to mimic a flavor (ie the strawberry flavor has never seen a real strawberry) and they can be ok but still you'd really need to know 100% if it has real fruit in it or has been in contact with any fruit you might have an allergy to - I personally wouldn't want to chance it.

the better question is, if you are REALLY interested in trying one of these flavors and there are no answers anywhere, do you have an epipen on hand?
Also you may want to check with your doctor because no one is allergic to a food overall...there are certain chemicals per food like in Peanuts. Sometimes doctors can specify an actual chemical agent within the food that you are directly allergic to.
Bannanas is a new allergy to me. I've never seen a patient yet that has been allergic to that. More often than not it's an actual preservative for that food you may be allergic to.
