Grande, who is a vegan, is also reportedly allergic to bananas, shellfish, cats and some medicines. The “God Is a Woman” singer’s peer, Miley Cyrus, is another high-profile allergy sufferer. The Hannah Montana alum opened up about her dietary restrictions in 2012 after she was slammed for being too skinny. Cyrus blamed her slender frame on a “gluten and lactose allergy,” according to a tweet in the midst of the criticism.

Kylie Jenner rushed her daughter, Stormi Webster, to the emergency room in June 2019 when the then 16-month-old had an allergic reaction. Though Jenner didn’t reveal exactly what her daughter was allergic to, the reaction was thought to be caused by something she ate. Scroll down to see other famous faces with food allergies.

Noelle Robinson

The daughter or Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member Cynthia Bailey addressed her food allergies during a Q&A with her mom on social media in March 2020. When a query about her eating habits came up, the young model pointed at Bailey and said, “I am healthy. And before she even says anything, she's not healthy. She probably should be like 300 pounds right now. I don't know why she's not.” The Bravo star countered and said her only child is a very picky eater, but not without reason. “She's allergic to nuts, officially," the Bailey Wine Cellar owner shared. "So within that she doesn't eat any shellfish or anything that anyone else is possibly allergic to. She plays it pretty safe when it comes to her food.”

The Real Housewives of New York City star has lived with a severe fish allergy for most of her life, and while she seldom addressed it, that all changed in December 2018 when she nearly died after eating soup that, unbeknownst to her, contained fish. A series of subsequent scares while traveling has motivated the reality star to speak about the serious nature of food allergies.

Ariana Grande

The “Thank U, Next” songstress was forced to cancel a pair of concerts in Florida in May 2019 after falling ill. She later discovered her health scare was caused by a tomato allergy that made her throat close. Days later, she continued to feel the effects. “Still feels like i’m swallowing a cactus but slowly making progress! thank u all for your love and understanding,” the Scream Queens alum explained on Twitter. She also had a bit of fun with the situation, adding: “There is NOTHING MORE UNFAIR THAN AN ITALIAN WOMAN DEVELOPING AN ALLERGY TO TOMATOES IN HER MID TWENTIES…….”

Mason Disick

Kourtney Kardashian’s eldest child gave his mom quite a scare in 2010 when he was just 11 months old. After trying peanut butter for the first time, the toddler had to be rushed to the hospital because he had an allergic reaction. As grandmother Kris Jenner later said of the incident: “His face started blowing up and his throat started closing.” However, it appears the now 9-year-old is free to eat as much peanut butter as we wants. “He had a peanut butter allergy for the longest time,” Jenner added of her first grandchild. “He's fine now.”

Stormi Webster

Mason’s cousin also developed an allergy as a toddler. In June 2019, mom Kylie Jenner took to social media to reveal that her daughter was “100% okay” after spending the day in the hospital because of an allergic reaction. Though the Kylie Skin founder didn’t reveal what her daughter was reacting to, she sent her love to parents with sick children and added, “Nothing else matters when these things happen.”

In a February 2020 interview with Harper's Bazaar, Jenner seemingly shared the cause of the little one's hospital visit when she revealed that there are no nuts in her home. "We are a peanut-free household because Stormi is allergic," she explained. "[Stormi is allergic to] all nuts actually, not just peanuts."

Miley Cyrus

The former Disney Chanel star fought back in 2012 when she was criticized for appearing too thin by revealing that food allergies were the cause of her weight loss. “For everyone calling me anorexic I have a gluten and lactose allergy,” she tweeted at the time. “It’s not about weight it’s about health. Gluten is crapppp anyway!” Cyrus even used the opportunity to encourage her followers to change their diets. “Everyone should try no gluten for a week,” she added. “The change in your skin, physical and mental health is amazing! U won’t go back!”

The 500 Days of Summer star has multiple food allergies to contend with, including intolerances to dairy, eggs and wheat. “I am the worst person to ever eat with because I have all these stupid food allergies,” she told Vulture in 2011. “It wasn’t that many things, it was just all the things that are fun to eat — everything that I enjoy, like bread.” On the set of New Girl, the actress even had special meals delivered to her trailer because she doesn’t want her cast and crew to have to eat all her “weird foods.”
