toronto88, Nothing from plants at all :( Beans may not be the worst but I'm pretty miserable after eating them. dbmata, I have talked to a dietician. All I got was "Keep doing what you're doing." There aren't many ideas for such a limited diet :( DerserveVictory, definitely no nuts! lol. I'm avoiding seasonings altogether,…

Thank you, I'll check it out!

I am on supplements (which, incidentally are made with corn starch...). I've been allergic my entire life, it's just gotten worse over the years. I cannot eat any fruits or vegetables no matter how cooked they are. I know most people who have OAS can have things cooked, but a piece of celery almost killed me. My allergist…

Allergic reactions are an immune system response and can include digestive issues as well (I'm not sure if you're saying they don't, but it can be quite bad), but you're right that they can become life threatening. Reading up on how to "cure" a food allergy, I actually came across an article on Oprah telling people they…

All I really want to eat today are chocolate milkshakes. Or just chocolate Ice cream. Especially with whipped cream.

Some things I can eat cooked, but anything apple is very bad. Same with bananas, corn, carrots and various other things. If it's overly processed from a can, like spaghetti sauce, I can eat that. Or Skippy peanut butter rather than raw organic peanut butter. I'm not sure what's in them (like if it's the food coloring or…

Yeah, I was tested and found out I'm allergic to every plant except black walnut. Nature hates me! :/ I got allergy shots for a few years, but they had to stop because every time they upped the dose I got sick. They eventually told me to stop coming. I try to stay away from my food allergies, but it's hard. I keep…

I can only blame myself for my weight. My dad's side of the family are all overweight. Every single one of them, some of which are grossly obese. They're from back east and eat amazingly delicious foods like biscuits, fried chicken, vegetables cooked in lard. It's definitely a diet issue. My grandma was always trying to…

Yup, 28 and just diagnosed. My doctor tested my tsh and t4 levels and found them to be very off so I've been on 100 mcg of Levothyroxine for about 7 weeks. The last time I got tested my tsh was down to 1 (yay!) and I've lost about 13 lbs since. I have other problems as well, and it makes it hard to want to work out and eat…

I was just finally diagnosed with hypothyroidism. My thyroid has pretty much stopped working altogether, and I've been on levothyroxine for a little over a month now and have noticed a huge difference (prior, my memory was shot, losing hair, extreme depression and lethargy). I've since cut my calories to be around 1500 and…

I was diagnosed with having Oral Allergy Syndrome, but it's rather severe. I'm allergic to every plant except one that they tested me on, and I can't eat any raw fruits, vegetables, or nuts, and can only eat a few cooked. Apple are the worst so far, constricting my airway, breaking out in hives and causing pretty bad…
