Food allergies

[Guest guest]

I was tested for food allergies about three weeks ago. It turned out

that the foods I was allergic to were things I was eating almost every

day! Potatoes, tomatoes, eggs, spinach, bananas, soy products . . .

Since I've cut out the bad foods, I can't believe how much better I

feel. I don't seem to have IBS anymore. I have a little more energy,

and when I get tired, it doesn't take three days to get over it. The

pain and snap/crackle/pop have been much diminished.

A girl at my church was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. But she

tested negative for the RA antigen. Her sister, a Whole Foods

devotee, suggested she get tested for food allergies. The girl had a

serious milk intolerance, and when she cut out dairy products, her

symptoms went away.

Now I know PA isn't as simple as all that. But I would highly

recommend anyone to get tested, because I see food allergies as

another stressor hammering on the disease.
