Anaphylaxis

I went to the allergy doctor on monday

In hopes of getting a prescription for an EpiPen

I got the prescription - so now I won't die when I eat walnuts

But in the process I was tested for and came out positive for a few other shitty allergies

including: Pecans, almonds, egg whites, and corn

which means for the next 10 days I have to eliminate all of these from my diet and then slowly introduce them in....

Do you know how many things corn is in?

It's in pretty much any processed foods... including my recently purchased gluten free bread

I choose to eat gluten free but because of this new restricting diet I have had to eat gluten.. because otherwise I would literally starve

For example: My favorite pretzels that are gluten, dairy and egg free- have corn in them!

And I usually eat almond butter instead of peanut butter

My whole world has been turned upside down

I'm not complaining really, it's more of a..... whine. 

I like trying healthy food thingy's-- I would become vegetarian and then progress to vegan if I had the will power. But eliminating all red meats and pork/sausage + gluten is good enough for me right now... 

Actually I would love to be pescatarian (when you eat fish but no other meat)

I think I would like to/have started progressing to that...

and I do feel better

Its amazing how healthy you feel when you eliminate unnecessary foods from your everyday diet

There is a reason people say vegetarian's skin glow

Rice cakes have become my new friend

gluten free +nut free. yum!

Its interesting how as soon as you eliminate the addictive foods from your diet, food simply becomes a means for survival. 

Instead of eating for fun/enjoyment... food is what fuels you through the day

This fresh outlook is almost exhilarating in its own way

I just realized I used the word "its" an unnatural amount in this post

Which is why I will leave you now

Ps. Did I mention you have to jab an EpiPen into your leg to make it work?

yeah.. sounds fun
