List of possible food allergies on my blog in case I lose the sheet my doc gave me yesterday:

egg white
egg yolk
wheat
corn
oats
cow's milk
rice
shrimp
almond
walnut
mushrooms
carrots
navy beans
green peas
sweet potato
white potato
cottonseed
flax seed
lettuce
celery
ginger
soybean
pineapple
lima bean
green olives
green peppers
squash
broccoli
watermelon
cashew nut
hazel nut
malt
cabbage
brazil nut

Doesn't look so bad once you get past the American diet infused with the milk, corn, wheat, soy, egg, rice, and potatoes. I can still have good old water, so life is good.

I don't know if it will make you feel better or feel like swearing at me but anyways....I am allergic to:

eggs
oatmeal
chocolate
oranges
dairy
poppy seeds
potatoes of any kind
tomatoes
peppers
beef
wheat
canola

and stuff I probably forgot and is not near as long as your list but it is doable. It is. Yes, a person's diet shrinks but the payoff in feeling better is worth it. And yes, sometimes I eat stuff I'm allergic to and get plugged sinuses, bladder infections, a whole gamut of digestion issues and itch like crazy plus feel exhausted. So I pick and choose when I'm going to have a hamburger and fries.
Hang in there, okay?

Dear Hope,
Thanks for your list. I had no idea! I don't want to scream- I'd rather give you a hug and say,
"We're both gonna make it just fine."

Did I read right? Tomatoes are not on your list. There will soon be real ones in the garden with plenty to share. Blessings
