Preliminary Allergies to Food
As some of you know, I have been on a no wheat, no dairy, no fruit, no starch diet for the last 3 weeks, so I decided to test two of these foods, I had a Tuna sandwich, and I got the runs so bad, still have it today! Now I need to figure out if it was the tuna or the bread. Dummy me, one at a time. lol
I have lost 11 pounds, 3 inches in my waist and an no longer bloated, so knowing about these foods helps me make smart choices. You know our immune system works to stop a reaction to these foods, leaving other areas in your body unguarded from diseases.
My insurance covered this testing 100%.
Allergic or sensitive to
Oats
Green Pea
Pineapple
Watermelon
Walnut
Pork
Sweet Potato
White Potato
Wheat
Tomato
Baker Yeast
Brewer Yeast
Tuna * love Tuna
Salmon

Hi Raquel,
I find your results interesting. Also interesting that some of the foods I've been found to have allergies and/or sensitivites to are also items that I don't like to eat. For example, I have allergies to mustard and to tuna & I have always hated those things- only had them to try them a time or two- never ate them again. Oh- also rye bread- my mom was always trying to get me to eat rye bread as a kid & I never liked it. Come to find out I'm allergic to it, so not a problem to try and avoid it.
Of your allergies, I think watermelon would be tough & tomatoes definitely would be tough- I eat a lot of foods with tomotoes or tomotato sauce in them. I don't have a tomato allergy myself.
Well, now you know and can work on testing them, as you were told to do.

Hey RachelNana b said:Yep!
I ran two miles today, my goal is 3 miles a day. Let's see how I do!
I just wanted to share with you what I experienced after I cleaned up my diet, recovered, and most importantly healed from the chemo/surgeries, many of my food sensitivies went away. It has taken time, which I am very thankful for but now 6 years after chemo and 5 years after my last surgery I am still learning and refining what I do.
I also have to tell you to NOT run every day. You body will break down if you do it. Even Olympic athletes don't train every day! Try crosstraining with walking or biking in between the days you run. I'm older than you are (56) and hurt my knee 3 years ago by being stubborn and thinking I was young again. Now I do what I can and am setting personal best every month! Remember rest days! I take 2 a week, run 3 and cycle with weight and/or resistance training the other 2 days. There are "workout" days when I just can't muster the energy so I get out and just do what I can but make sure I don't skip more than a day or 2 of my "plan".
I'm so happy you are feeling so good and working hard to stay that way. I hope others see you as an example of what life after treatments can be like. Thank you for sharing it.

Congrats on the weight loss! What can you eat now? I saw your allergic list and wonder what you can eat. I am having a lot of difficulty eating lately. I have tried different things. It seems everything I eat is causing pain and bloating.

I got referred to an
I got referred to an Ear-Nose-Throat doc after complaining about hoarseness after my chemo. He thought I had a food allergy with, so far as I could tell, no evidence whatsoever, and he wanted me to eliminate a list of foods from my diet, one at a time. That's what food allergists do, I guess. I decided he was a flake, and didn't go back for a second visit. The hoarseness went away by itself.
I run 30 minutes every morning --- works for me.0 -

Maybe you can try a protein and veggie diet for a couple weeks and see if your bloating goes away... I'm taking beta plus, 1 tablet before each meal to get my liver to process my food better. My naturopath also has me on this powder that helps the lining of the stomach rejuvenate itself. The powder is L Glutamine. I take 1.5 tsp once a day. It's all herbs and can be ordered on line. Licorice root allows me to do away with my prilosec.0 -

I LOVE licorice root tea! It really doesn't taste like licorice to me, but has a very mild taste at first, then a sweet aftertaste. It was good for me since I am no longer using sweetener in my tea- helped me transition since it tastes naturally sweet.
Plus, it's good for you!
