Kats3boys allergies....

[Guest guest]

Hi there -

What my body is craving right now is no meat and all

carbs. (No sugar) I just want mac-n-cheese, chicken

noodle soup, etc.. Everything else just makes me want

to puke.

Her diet did cause me to shed about 20 lbs of

inflammation in a month (this weight loss never

occured with atkins, sbd, ww, or any others) and lose

all of my acne..

It is just puking me out right now. Like I said, all

I want is some mac and cheese, but that is the kiss of

death in her book.

I am so sensitive to everything; I haven't worn

perfume in years, I can't use hair products. I can't

stand when my hubby uses his deod. around me - I get

headachey and pukey from the vapors. I don't like

laundry detergents, hand soap, anything bothers me it

seems. And sometimes, natural things are the worst!

I have a huge reaction to rosemary, pine, banana

peels, etc..Mints cause problems as well - especially

stomach problems.

Ugghhh.. One of these days when they find out what is

wrong with me, I will be so happy!!

Also, I had a cat scan done with tons of iodine so

that might explain why I feel so bad this weekend.

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the

present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear.

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)
