I should ask my dr if it's possible to have a test that positively confirms a kiwi allergy.
I know I definitely had 1 reaction eons ago after eating only kiwi when in Boston, and I've avoided it since.
Yes, avocado, banana, strawberry are also on the list. Latex, in general, isn't an issue for her.

Your Dr will be able to perform a controlled skin pick test that will identify any food that you're allergic to. You bring the suspected foods to test.
