Actually, I have Crohn's Disease. At first the doctors in the ER thought I just didn't get enough fiber. That was impossible because all I ate was whole wheat products. Of course, they gave me Metamucil and told me to eat more fiber. Turns out that was just making the intestinal bleeding worse because my small intestine couldn't break it all down. It really sucks. I love fruit :(

Oh, I totally forgot about MSG. That's some bad, bad news.

I don't go into anaphal. shock or anything but i am sooo highly allergic to nuts. I can eat some like the soft ones ( chashews and pistachio) but other than that my toungue starts to swell and hives everywhere

I am not lactose intolerant but i cannot drink milk. I hate it. ice creamand dairy is fine with me

they say the oils that are in some vewggies ( raw) cause me to break out in hives along with peanuts. So every time i fly i have to bring my own snack because it won't be pretty!
