Have any of you found out you were allergic to something after years of not knowing?

About three years ago, I was talking with some friends at work, about how much I like mushrooms but they're too spicy. They looked at me like I was crazy! Turns out, I'm allergic to them. On a side note, my doctor told me that in a lot of cases, heartburn can be an allergic reaction to certain foods. For example, peanuts give me heartburn.

I discovered im allergic to nuts and sea food about 5yrs ago….grew up loving them both. My then boyfriend bought me nutty chocolate on Valentines and almost killed me lol crazy, funny and random…. I always think i ate too much sea food in Islands and it turned on me lol,,,, it sucks developing an allergy when you are older.

@Pinkdove74 Yeah, I think it isn't that common to develop them years later but like you mentioned, it can be deadly when it suddenly happens.
