    CW: sores in mouth = no more persimmons for me

    😞
    I was cleaning out the pantry and noticed I still had dried persimmons. I had used them to make persimmon tea which is effective for GERD/heartburn. It's been quite a while since I last had the tea; I decided to to use them instead of tossing them.

    Today I have sores in my mouth. Previously I had the same type of sores from eating walnuts. Walnuts can trigger pemphigus vulgaris*. I looked up whether walnut and persimmon allergen are cross-reactive - yes, they are.

    We are moving away and leaving behind the persimmon tree I planted in the back yard, which ought to start fruiting this year. At least I won't be reminded of my disappointment in not being able to eat persimmons on a daily basis.

    I've had mouth ulcers from eating walnuts. Walnuts can induce pemphigus vulgaris, which Dr McGowan mentions is also IgG4-related. [45:29]
