After suffering for months with strange rashes and red hot ears and stomach pain it became apparent I was having some strange reactions to whatever it was I was eating. I was convinced it was carrots. I had testing done the week of Thanksgiving and when the results came back on Dec. 11, I was completely shocked at the outcome.
My "Foods to Avoid List" includes the following: gliadin, gluten, wheat, egg whites, egg yolks, cow's milk, goat's milk, american cheese, casein, lactalbumin, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, cottage cheese, almonds and rye. The report states that I can only safely eat peanuts and malt once every four days.
My doctor told me to stay away from everything on the list for the next 90 days. Talk about a total diet overhaul.
Meat, nuts, veggies, fruit, rice, corn and oats get to be my new staples. Healthy yes, hard to abide by the rules, yes. Can I do it? Yes.
Cockroaches, flies, spiders, rotten or spoiled food and other nasty things aren't allowed either but that's just a personal preference.
