Gee I would rather have a rash than not breathe........lol. Do I get to choose

my symptoms?? haha. Yes it is a process of elimination and everytime I eat

chocolate, I get a reaction within 10 minutes to a half hour. Youre probably

thinking " well, Dumb ass, dont eat it " . Yes I know- but it took a few times to

put two and two together. I thought it was just causing anxiety which my doc

said could happen. Scary stuff. I have never had a food allergy.

Oh sorry I forgot that ..didn't I ? That is what I get for multi

tasking ! Depending on the allergy it is anything from rash, to

wheezing to an epipen injection for the allergic reaction. I am VERY

allergic to almonds ! Ate once and did not know it.. I was in the

hospital for 3 days afterwards and it took awhile to figure out what

caused the cramping, vomiting, diarrhea etc

Also allergic to walnuts and pecans ! and I have to be careful of

seeds as I break out from sesame and fennel. I know I am weird ! But

food allergies really suck.. It is really a process of elimination

to figure it out sometimes.
