Needless to say, she never gained weight because she was fucking voluntarily malnourished. Of course, I might be bitter because it was my job to clean the bathroom.Captain Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11922101498348137121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416218361006673183.post-36332973372185229462008-04-30T19:23:00.000-05:002008-04-30T19:23:00.000-05:00I just got tested! Thank the good fucking lord it came back neg. I don't know how you do it? The scary thing is I'm ten days into a high protein diet (including beer as I'd rather not go there) and I'm not sick. Scary. It runs in my family. I'm taking large doses of denial...<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'd better mail my poop. Then I can cross that off of my bucket list!nutmeghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13764241354191038343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416218361006673183.post-43400281578322557362008-04-18T20:46:00.000-05:002008-04-18T20:46:00.000-05:00I, too, am allergic to soy. I have such a long list of foods I can't eat and the ones I "shouldn't" eat (because the reaction, though not as severe as the first-list foods, isn't pleasant) ... and people can never believe that I'm allergic to these things. "Who's allergic to apples?" "Oh come on, what would really happen? Carrots are <I>good</I> for you." That sort of malarky. Feh.<BR/><BR/>So glad you identified what was hurting you so you could reverse the situation.<BR/><BR/>(I am insanely, 7th-grade-ish-ly flattered that you've added me to your blogroll!)GirlGriothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10673240930615278979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416218361006673183.post-5146908785990099892008-04-18T20:27:00.000-05:002008-04-18T20:27:00.000-05:00I am right there with you.

It is amazing how simple health can be when we treat the real problem, rather than just dealing with the symptoms. What we put into our bodies matters - beyond weight and BMI and basic nutrition. Interesting stuff. There are so many people who do better off of wheat and dairy. So so so many people. But there is so so so much money to be made from prescription drugs and Western medicine, from beauty products for problem skin etc. Sigh. As the previous commenter said - consumerism. <BR/><BR/>Anyways - I don't think you're crazy, not at all. I have a friend who doesn't eat any of what you, nor citrus, corn or grains of any kind. Hard to wrap my brain around, but I see her do it and I know what it means for her health. <BR/><BR/>:)Leahttp://www.findingthemiddle.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416218361006673183.post-43027982860826037892008-04-17T10:02:00.000-05:002008-04-17T10:02:00.000-05:00My official 4th version of my response. I'm now completely off my rocker as how to respond to this:<BR/><BR/><I>What remains most difficult -- even more difficult than the absence of pizza in my life -- is the refusal of some people to fathom that I don't eat gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, or yeast because, as they say, they could never do it.</I><BR/><BR/>What the _____!?!<BR/><BR/>We live in a society where denying yourself is a slice of pepperoni is like flagellating yourself. It seems to me that in your situation EATING the pepperoni is the act of punishment here.<BR/><BR/>Consumer culture... grmph hmmph... overspending... grrr... Affluenza... "insert your words here"... (Brought to you by a hypocrite on this topic whose trying to reverse the trend)<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear your feeling better!<BR/><BR/>-MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416218361006673183.post-72622246649583082832008-04-16T20:07:00.000-05:002008-04-16T20:07:00.000-05:00Wow, good for you for persevering and finding the cause to your troubles. I'm glad to hear you are feeling better and have the will power to keep yourself healthy!<BR/><BR/>I too have gone through a few of those tests and I can relate to your discomfort.Maureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01797167028822330935noreply@blogger.com
