Hi I have exactly the same problem and it is causing me a lot of disturbance in my life. Now I dont have to make my doctor beleive me . I'"m a doctor..!! I did a lot of investigation and spoke to some of my friends (doctors) but didn't reach to a lot. Did you do any investigation and did you find any positive data even if not related may be we can collect some data and reach somthing
I have the same reaction when it comes to eating raw onions. I can eat them cooked, and not have any affects. I have managed to trace the problem clear back to my great grandma, and my grandma had it, and so does my mom and my eldest son. We love onions, but they don't love us. A dr had told my great grandmother it was due to having a certain kind of allergy to them, and if you cook them it cooks the toxins out. Therefore taking out the stuff causing our reaction. If I eat raw onions within 15 minutes to an hr I am out like a light, and before that I get light headed and feel like I'm about to pass out.
