OK... I'm back... for now. I'm still in Serbia, and I've kind of given it up for now... but am going to be back at with a fervor as soon as I get back to the USA August 17th.
My urticaria has been really bad lately, I mean... to the point where I'm walking around for ten minutes outside and I'm itching all over and in five more minutes I feel like I'm about to faint or throw up.
So.... exercise hasn't been a priority for me... which could be why it's gotten so bad.
Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone has some suggestions for a diet type plan for food allergy/intolerance testing? My Dad thinks that I might be slightly lactose intolerant, because what happened to him when he was my age is happening to me. MAJOR stomach pains, diahrrea, and even vomiting a couple hours after eating something like a milky type chocolate bar or ice cream. Maybe it's the mix of sugar and milk... I dunno. All I know is that it's not fun... and I can't keep downing pepto everytime something like this happens. It's not a bug... I'm not sick... and it happens, and then it's gone. And looking back... sounds like it happens every time I have a lot of a dairy product.
So... last time I went on something like this (to try and figure out what was causing the urticaria), it was all potatoes for like a month.
But... I don't know. I'm not doing this through a doctor, and I'm not doing a major full out type thing because anything I have is very mild (comparitively at least), so yeah. I'm going to be writing down exactly what I eat every day, and how I physically felt that day... so that'll hopefully lend a hand... but... should I do some kind of cleanse or something beforehand? Like, only raw foods or something (not raw meat of course...)? Or... what? Just wanting some advice from people who have done this themselves... I'm sick and tired of all my stomach issues. They're not bad enough to go see a doctor about... but I'd like them to stop.
