Is it possible that my eyes can get swollen from food that I may be allergic to?

Answer:

I myself should honestly live in some little bubble because I'm allergic to so many things.

Yes, your eyes can become swollen from eating something you're allergic to. You need to see a doctor to find out what exactly you are allergic to.

Sometimes my eyes and my face get swollen. Take some benadryl (I think that's how you spell it) and drink lots of fluids.

Also, you can fill up a ziploc bag with eyes and dab your eyelids every once in a while so that the swolleness will die down.

You didn't say what part of the eye, is it the eyelid. Mine swells because of water retention. Weird place to show it, but often when around the time of ovulating I retain water and sometimes use a diuretic. My lids are swollen. Lovely to be a woman! As for food, could be, could be allergies too.

Yes! My eyes swell and the whites turn bloody-yellow when I eat bananas.

Yes! My son is allergic to peanuts. He had a severe reaction and his eyes were so swollen! We had to take him to the emergency room because we thought he was beginning anaphylaxis. So, yeah your eyes can swell! Luckily for us the benadryl squelched the reaction and they put him on some other meds for a week to keep it from returning.
