I'm allergic to WHAT now??
I had an allergy test done, since I've had sinus problems like whoa lately (since November) and antibiotics didn't work, nor did I have anything wrong on my CT scan. I am not allergic to anything airborne. Good. However, I'm allergic to a bunch of foods. Not the classic mouth itching, hives or anything like that. What they call a sensitivity. So they make me feel like crap within 3 days. So what am I allergic to? In order of sensitivity:
peanuts
mushrooms
crab
apples
black pepper
basil
yogurt
milk
lima beans
coconut
almonds
baker's yeast
brewer's yeast
And....
potatoes.
I'm REALLY allergic to potatoes. And since I'm allergic to both yeasts, that indicates a sensitivity to molds, yeasts and ferments. So I can't have sugar, alcohol, cheese, honey, vinegar, olives, black tea, chocolate or sourdough bread.
Just because I want to bitch, here's my list of foods I can't have: almond butter, cow cheese, miso, lima beans, crab, peanut butter, caviar, goat cheese, tempeh, herring, yogurt, malt, potato flour, mushrooms, sauerkraut, potatoes, apples, coconut, green olives, almonds, peanuts, apple cider vinegar, basil, horseradish, pepper, soy sauce, vinegar, butter, coconut oil, peanut oil, mayonnaise, alcohol, almond nut milk, apple cider, apple juice, buttermilk, coconut milk, cow milk, goat milk, black tea, beet sugar, cane sugar, casein, goat ice cream, honey, lactalbumin, molasses, rennet, sugar, whey, bread, beer, enriched flour.
This is problematic. For lunch, most of the time I eat udon noodle soup. It has soy sauce. I can't take a sandwich- no bread. Can't make a wrap- no enriched flour. There's no fridge to store anything. Most of the soups that I enjoy contain either basil or vinegar or milk. So what the fuck am I supposed to bring to work?
My doctor wants me on a four day rotational diet for three months. This thing seems to assume that either I am a stay at home person or that I have access to a fridge and cooking facilities at work. I do not. Oh, and it only wants me to drink coffee one day out of four. Not happening.
I am so tired of being sick. But how the hell do I keep to this if I can't take any of it to work? It wants me eating fish as a protein source three days out of four, and I do NOT trust fish to stay good with just an ice pack in an insulated lunch bag. Not to mention that I have a standard allergic reaction to nutra sweet so most artificial sweeteners will make me worse.
This sucks.
