Do You Have Food Allergies/Intolerances?

[Banana1]

I am allergic to chamomile tea, caffiene and nuts and I suspect, sulphur. Chamomile and nuts (and sulphur) give me severe nausea, my throat tightens and I get a headache and fatigue.

Caffiene causes me to have a headache, nausea and severe anxiety attacks.

I'm allergic to something(s) in processed meat. God knows what it is because there are so many candidates.

Don't have to worry about that anymore. :)

All legumes, as far as I know, except soy and peanuts. So in other words, beanies.

^^Wow. Bean allergies? Never encounterd that one...Soy and peanut allergies, yes. But other legumes? No...

I am senstive to any animal products of any kind :( Things sucked for me when I used to try to eat at restaurants...

I am deathly allergic to shellfish!

Consuming just one causes my mouth and lips to swell, breathing to become difficult, and my blood pressure dives. Anaphylactic Shock is an extremely scary thing. I'm guessing it could be compared to slowly drowning.

I can't say I ever loved shellfish. It always sort of disturbed me. I think my body knew it was in essense poison, so my senses read shellfish as 'icky' so I wouldn't eat the stuff. When I ignored that sense, I suffered the consequences.
