Can you get allergic out of no where of something you ate always?

For the last 3 weeks, i realized that each time i eat tomatoes i get sick, like huge stomach pain and yeah... i thought was only to raw tomatoes, but today i tried rosé sauce and still the same.... it never used to do that. I feel extremely nauseous and my stomach hurts big time 🥺

I guess no more tomatoes for me and i LOVE tomatoes 🥺

The question now is how am I gonna live without pizza 😲

Your gut biome bacteria balance changes with literally every meal, so you can become intolerant to foods at any time of your life. Actual allergy, where you might need an epi-pen is more complex but it can happen. This sounds more like a gut biome reaction or intolerance than an allergy, and much easier to fix (unless your immune system is involved, with Mast cell reaction and histamine release, but I would not worry about that unless the reaction becomes severe).

@Persephone well my reaction affects me in a way that i wish wouldnt as i have vulvar lichen sclerosus that could evolve to cancer, which affects also the back side and my reaction makes me bleed cause it breaks my flesh without going too much in details

@SimplyMeChantou oh no 😣 that's rough for you. Nightshades do seem to easily provoke a reaction in a lot of people. I hope you find some good alternatives.
