I don't know if any of you guys have experienced this but I did and it's not good.
I recently had an allergic reaction to yakult. My whole body was red but blisters were not present. While having this rash I always had mangoes for desert. They were so delicious. I would like to say that I am not allergic to mangoes. The redness from the yakult disappeared after a few days, but after about 2 or 3 days my skin started to peel like crazy and it still is. I was going nuts over this. First I thought it was the vitamins, then the lotion that I used for massage. I went to two dermatologist and they both said that mangoes can make an allergies worse. Another info that I learned is that Mangoes contain vitamin A. Vitamin A is good for the skin but if taken in excess can cause flaky and peeling skin.
So I have to the conclusion that mangoes did it for me. Has anyone experience any similar situation?

This is the 2nd time I had allergies due to yakult.
When I was young I used to take a lot of it and did not have any allergic reaction to it. I was only recently that I discovered that I have developed allergies.
The first allergic attack happened last december (I have not taken yakult for over 20 years).javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$cphMainContent$lbStart','')

Having an allergy really make someone real sick. I have allergies on sea foods particularly shimps. There was a time when I'm in a in far place away from home and no pharmacy around. Good thing, I have loratadine always handy. In your case, I think, you may consider going to a doctor for further testing - allergy testing (skin testing etc.) Allergic reaction to some,manifest in different way - diarrhea, abdominal pain, and worse,can also trigger asthma. See a doctor asap and have youself checked. Stay healthy.

Had the doctor diagnosed that it was indeed yakult that gave you the allergy? I wonder why?
Yes, i know that mango can give you can allergy if eaten in excess. It is said to cause prickly heat. 
Even when you have a sore throat or cough, avoid mango, because they irritate the throat because of its very fibrous content.
