Doh! I'm allergic to...
eggs, cheese, pork, and chicken (along with every grain -- except rice --
known to man). This makes meal planning a bit rough. (Oh yeah, and milk and peanut butter -- no more peanut butter? That sucks!) -- Bob in CT |

Chicken? Or preservatives/chemicals in chicken? Up here, the state police have a network that connects accidental deer kills with families with extreme allergies, as the wild deer have none of the chemicals sometimes found in domesticated meat. |

The guy who gave me the test said that probably because chickens are fed grains, and I'm allergic to every grain. -- Bob in CT |

Well, that leaves Rice and Fish with Walnut or almond butter.
But probably not Glutinous rice - based on the rest of the thread so far, and you'll probably have to catch your own fish - to avoid farmed fish that's been fed any grain... Wow Bob - good luck! lol Steve "Bob in CT" wrote in message news eggs, cheese, pork, and chicken (along with every grain -- except rice -- known to man). This makes meal planning a bit rough.

And, I'm not allergic to everything on earth. He tested 54 items from grains, fish, seafood, meats, dairy, and misc. items. Of 54 items, I'm allergic to 22 items, of which the vast majority (13) are in the grain category. A chiropractor tested me for food allergies back in 1991 or so, using samples and muscle-testing (kinesiology), which some people consider hoodoo. I don't remember the list exactly, but looking back, the ones I remember being allergic to were all carby foods: wheat, sugar, potatoes, onions. (Onions aren't real high, but they're higher than many vegetables; we just don't usually eat them in large enough quantities to matter.) I cut them out of my diet for a few months, felt much better, and lost quite a bit of weight. I was low-carbing (imperfectly) without knowing it. Was I really "allergic" to those foods, or was my body responding to the carbs and saying, "Please, no more"? Is there a difference? I'm confident that my chiropractor then believed the results were real, but exactly *why* those foods triggered a reaction might be debatable. If something makes me sick and tired, I guess it doesn't matter whether I have an allergy to it or am unable to process it correctly without unpleasant side-effects: either way I shouldn't be eating it. -- Aaron -- 285/235/200 -- http://aaron.baugher.biz/ "If you hear hoofbeats, you just go ahead and think horsies, not zebras." |

She did some research, found out that allergy tests are wrong 50% of the time. Got retested, and was allergic to a much smaller panel of stuff. I would strongly suggest a retest in a more traditional medical setting, regardless of your opinions of the traditional medicine industry. PS- Dr. Atkins was a real doctor. As are Dr & Dr Eades. And Dr. Mary Vernon. And others. They're not all food pyramid morons. |

Bob..... when i had my allergy tests run,
EVERYTHING that i had eaten in the prior week turned up as 'allergic to' on my tests, plus a few things i hadn't eaten (3 pages, 3 columns per page)............ i tossed the list out, and just watched what 'combination of foods' caused me the most distress and avoided them from there on in i've been fine...... just using common sense, rather than deleting all foods from my diet (ps, i WAS allergic to the rice too) "Hollywood" wrote in message oups.com...
