To: NCSEADOG; metmom

Perhaps metmom can give you some advice and show you some of her old threads. She was dealing with heavy duty food allergies and it turned out she did have a diagnosis; I think a mast cell problem (autoimmune).

Metmom; perhaps you have a word of advice for NCSEADOG?

I FReepmailed him.

Been there, done that, although not positive about the anaphylactic shock. I’ve had bizarre symptoms that when I google them up, that’s the only thing that fits, but it never progresses. I don’t get hives or swelling and my blood pressure doesn’t drop. It, along with my heart rate, shoot up like his.

It lasts between a half an hour and 45 mins and subsides almost as fast as it comes on, medicine or not. It’s like my body is fighting it.

It is very debilitating and has effectively prevented me from working part time for extra income as well.

I have to carry my own food with me everywhere and cannot travel anywhere I can’t be sure of getting PLAIN, unsalted chicken (beef, lamb) and oats.

Do you have any idea how much of our lives revolves around food? I’d rather just not be able to eat at all than to have to eat and restrict it so much and wonder if what I’m eating this time will throw me into another reaction.

I haven’t felt good in ages.
