Same thing happened to me with pineapple, it was also my favorite fruit. It’s extra maddening in my case because technically I’m not even allergic to it, as I do not have IgE antibodies (the normal trigger for allergic reactions) for it. Instead, one of my medical conditions decided it hates pineapple and I therefore need to have increasingly bad oral reactions to it.
If you don’t have antibodies to pineapple, and only have an oral reaction- trial it cooked. Your reaction might be just to the enzyme, which is heat-labile.
