Had some time to mess around on here tonight. Changed some pictures while my dear sister-in-law took our son for the evening after we went out for all you can eat fish fry.......lol. I ate my allergy free chicken pot pie and crustless pumpkin pie, but had fun socializing with the all you can eat fish fry eaters. Ran in to our neighbor who has cancer and shared with us that he will be going to The Cancer Treatment Centers of America this month for a 2nd opinion, prayers for him and his journey would be appreciated.
I've taken Kiara's idea and started thinking more about what I CAN eat instead of what I CAN'T eat. Grocery shopping is still hard since corn (one of my main allergies) does not have to be listed on the label. I actually called Kroger foods today to find out if their cream cheese and brown sugar were corn free, the lady acted as though I was an alien....lol. She told me that cream cheese in itself does not have corn in it, but Kroger cannot control what the cows that provide the milk for the cheese eat in the field, they might eat corn.........LOL. I shall be calling again on Monday to speak with yet another helpful agent.
I did get an interesting allergy sheet in the mail from my doctors office regarding corn allergies. Yet another laugh out loud fest. The first item that is listed is milk and it's only to be bought in glass containers, ah, yes, where am I to find that? Then there is the listing of "not to be consumed from waxed cardboard containers." Yes corn is really in everything. I'm thinking that is what a large part of the health issues in America are all about gluten and corn.
Today I went for blood work and I don't know how many vials of blood that they took, but it was a lot! They are doing more allergy testing through blood this time. I go back at the end of the month, so we shall see what the doctor says then. I'm not really noticing any difference besides not having a flushed face during or after I eat. I also think potatoes factor in somewhere as my joints ache the day after I have eaten them.
Big grin here, I can hear little baby peep cheeps coming from the basement chick nursery, so sweet.
I've found some great allergy-free cookbooks that I will share next time. I'm reading through them to see which ones are worth heading on over to my favorite hang out Amazon.
Have a great weekend!
Moe

I can't believe how mind boggling it must be to try to determine what has corn in it! I never realized it was used in so many ways! Wow! Kudos to you for taking charge & learning to deal with this. Once you get it all under your belt, you could write a self-help book for others!
ReplyDeleteShorty,
ReplyDeleteI think you are so healthy because of the way you eat. You must teach me some cooking lessons. I need to get out of my box of the normally veggies and try some new stuff.
Hope you are getting stronger every day after your surgery.
Hugs,
Moe
good for you sticking with the phone calls to companies. can you have drinks from plastic containers? #1? #2? it some ways it is interesting that if scientists are this inventive with corn, then what can they do with peas, broccoli, green beans, etc? maybe they can think of tasty ways to get people to get them. i think americans eat too many processed grain products and sugars.
