Am I allergic to coconut?
Yesterday I ate a lot of coconut and nothing happened. However, I woke up the next day with my left eye swollen. Could I possibly be allergic? Or sensitive? Or is it just that I ate a lot? This also happened to my mother when she had eaten a lot of coconut. Except both of her eyes were swollen. All answers appreciated!

Coconut consumption allergies are rare. Maybe it has to do with the amount eaten.
Other side effects of eating too much coconut include higher cholesterol, possible weight gain (coconut has a lot of sugars and calories) or constipation. (too much fiber to process)

It could be an allergy but since only one eye was afected it is less likely. It is possible you got an infection in that eye orit got irritaded from some external source. If it happened again you definitely should see a Dr and get it checked out. If your eye is still swollen tommow go se a Dr and find oit why.
