Re: allergy testing Taking responsibility

[Guest guest]

I had several food allergy test done, but until I took responsibility for my own body, I had no luck. Every one of the test showed something different.

I have written down what I eat everyday and the symptoms I have. A person has to become very aware of their own body. My stomach bloats after dairy, my nose becomes stuff if I drink a Vodka soda..is it the grains? Probably. My tongue tingles after I eat corn syrup. So I avoid those foods. My vulvar area burns if I drink too much coffee, etc. etc. Test can be good, but I feel just relying on the test and not keeping track of your diet and symptoms is not enough. Start a food/symptom journal and you will be amazed at what you find out about yourself!

ALSO, drinking a can of Coke means you just drank some wheat too, not just soda pop.

It is very important to read all labels. If you are allergic to corn and eat Kraft Mac N Cheese, you may think it is OK, but you just digested corn syrup! Another thing to look for is allergies to food dyes and preservatives. I find I feel SO much better if I avoid dyes and preservatives. It's not always the food itself but it could be the additives!

Coke and Diet Coke have more than that in it..they are filled with bad things.

Health food stores do not sell that type of soda for a reason. When I got sick the first thing a friend of mine said was STOP DRINKING SODA POP!

I laughed at him, but now I know he was right!

You're kidding, Coke has wheat in it?

I'm on a gluten-free diet but I had no idea Coke wasn't gluten-free.... I don't drink it very often but occasionally.

Did some hunting online... it seems Coke says its' products are gluten-free but they do contain tiny traces of gluten according to lots of folks out in cyberspace...

here's a written statement from Coke...

"We are able to confirm that Coca-Cola classic, caffeine free Coca-Cola classic,Coca-Cola C2, Diet Coke, Diet Coke with Lemon, Diet Coke with Lime, caffeinefree Diet Coke, Sprite, Sprite ReMix Berryclear, Diet Sprite Zero, vanilla Coke,diet vanilla Coke, cherry Coke, Fresca, and our 100% juice products (withoutadded ingredients) are gluten free.Additionally, we can tell you that all of our other products meet Codex'sdefinition of gluten-free, which is currently less than 200 ppm (parts permillion) (0.02%) gluten. Codex is in the process of reviewing this standard andwe are monitoring the progress closely. At this time the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration does not have a regulatory definition of gluten-free.We can assure you that the exact amount of gluten in these products is very low- perhaps even zero. Some minor ingredients in these products are manufacturedfrom plants that gluten-sensitive people could react to, so we are unable tostate categorically that they are totally gluten-free even though they may haveundetectable levels of gluten in them. The Codex guideline provides a very lowthreshold for gluten content. However, extremely gluten-sensitive individualsshould discuss consumption of these products with their health care provider.We hope that this information is helpful.

If a person is interested in getting healthy, it is still not best to consume soda pop on a regular basis.
