Allergic to Everything????

Okay, so not everything. One can not survive on air and water alone. But now that it's the holidays, it can kinda feel that way. Diet whipped air anyone???

Dr.J has ordered alot of tests on me and so far it's yielded some interesting results....obviously.

It's served as food for thought for me over the last few days as I've tried to take this information in. Many of us have these allergies due to weak food safety regulations by the government as well as over zealous food subsidies (i.e. corn, wheat, etc).

Apparently, I don't have any allergies with a histamine response e.g. hives, swollen lips, etc. But I have allergies that affect my blood stream (IgG) and my mucosal lining (IgA). Hope that wasn't TMI. Anyways, they rank in severity from 1 being the lowest, 2 moderate, and 3 most severe.

The key for me now is to not consume these foods for 3 months in an attempt to lessen my body's sensitivity to them. I'll retest in March and see how I'm doing then. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to be my healthiest, even though I'm sure at some point it'll be a b****. But I don't care. I want a better quality of life.
