Hello, my name is Lydi, single mom to a six year old. last year i started have random allergic reactions, nothing life threatening. but over time my symptoms got worse and this year have been in ER twice and they pumped me full of meds and have gotten prescribed Epipens.
i can only figure i am allergic to preservatives. i have had testing on foods and fillers but those results were fine. So now I have to stay away from anything not fresh and natural, but i am finding myself so paranoid to use certain things like all natural stock in a box and other all natural packaged products that i have been staying away from them. i am afraid to eat out and eat others peoples foods. i have also had to stop using mouth wash and lots of lotions.
i am constantly watching cooking shows and looking online for new recipes for easy lunches and fun dinners.
i am excited to be a part of this group.
Welcome to the group! Although I am sorry you are having such food allergy issues. They are not easy. you are doing the right thing by learning all you can!
MEMORIAL DAY!!!
