My body must be changing or something. Since having dd nearly 2 years ago, I have been having/noticing reactions to foods I've never before reacted to.

I grew up with really bad hayfever, I guess maybe it was only a matter of time.

I have hayfever-like reactions to bananas now. Sometimes to avocado and kiwi, but not as strong(yet?). I know they are related to latex allergy. I react to other foods too(peaches, dried apricots, peppers sometimes, oranges sometimes, and watermelon Jolly Ranchers), but that is a different post.

So here's my questions.

1. Clothing-Are there supportive or sexy bras out there that don't have latex in them? Elastic has been bothering me--itching where it is in contact with my skin. I guess this pertains to other clothing, too.
2. Should I quit using my Keeper and get a Diva instead?
3. If you don't mind my asking, if you are TTA a pregnancy, how do you deal with birth control? I know there are non-latex condoms out there, but they are $$$. I am also allergic to spermicides and pills aren't on my list of options anymore. Maybe it's time I became more diligent and educated about this Taking Charge of Your Fertility thing.

4. What other things should I be watching out for?
