Now I can't consume even a small quantity by accident without experiencing those reactions. Same things happen to my housemate who is allergic to tree nuts and shellfish.

Hmmmm ... very interesting. But the thing is ... I can drink Gatorade on its own just fine (for a while - I get sick of it pretty quickly - the flavor gets icky) ... and I can eat energy bars just fine (longer than I can drink Gatorade) ... but the combination of the two is HORRIBLE!! Very nasty experience.

But I don't have the same experience with HEED and energy bars. Maybe its an ingredient in the Gatorade.
