Question:
Since I was a kid I was unable to eat bony fish. My parents tried to give me tuna and I'd throw it up. As a teenager we tried smoked salmon but all that gave me was pink vomit. Recently I tried catfish and other freshwater fish. I would eat a small amount and then something would make me stop. My stomach would just say, "nope, no more." When I did eat too much I threw it up again. Too much being one whole filet.
Never before have I had a problem with shellfish. I can eat tons of shrimp, or whole lobsters no problem. But recently mussels and some crab cooked at Chinese food places have made me feel off. Kind of how I feel before I reach the point of naseau for bony fish.
I've always assumed I had an allergy to bony fish (since it's usually an either or for bony or shellfish in terms of allergy) but now I'm wondering if something else isn't going on.
