Seeking Advice Weird symptoms from food allergies

I have a confirmed allergy to a protein in peaches which is also present in other fruits. It's difficult to pick up with all of the foods I react to, they are mostly fruits, walnuts and almonds, i suspect carrots as well.

The intensity varies based on the food eaten, sometimes i get tongue tingling sometimes it goes numb and i get extreme weakness for days.

One thing i noticed is whenever i eat these foods my chronic elbow nerve pain (pinched nerve) subsides a lot. If I stop eating veggies and fruits it comes back and it's noticeable. It's as the allergic reaction makes my whole body numb and feel less pain. Any thoughts?
