Is it possible to show external symptoms with a food allergy?

The research I've done only mentions irritation of the throat and mouth, wheezing, etc. But is it possible to develop hives and itching on your back, arms, legs, but not have any irritation in your throat, mouth, etc, when you're affected by a food allergy, such as soy?
Also, is it possibly a food allergy if the hives take a long time to go away, maybe a day or two?

  • Yes, it is possible. This exact same thing happens to me when I eat avocado products.
    My skin whelps up, turn's red and itches like nothing else...
    I hope that this helps and good luck with your allergies!
