So I wrote a post last week wondering if dairy may be an issue for me and my doc wanted me to try to eliminate it. We did an food allergy panel a week and a half ago to see if there is something causing my issues (related to medical stuff, not weight loss). Anyway, the test came back today and guess what I'm HIGHLY allergic to?
EGGS!!! Great, I only eat a million a day.
I'm moderately allergic to milk (not goat milk), whey, some cheese, wheat, and peanuts. Those are all common allergies, but why oh why do I have to have ALL of them?
She said I need to eliminate eggs for 6 months and then we'll see if I can reintroduce them. Unfortunately she said that of all the things we tested for, she's had very few patients be able to eat eggs again without issue whereas the other foods can typically be reintroduced once the antibodies are no longer present. Ugh. Eggs are in everything!!!
As for the moderate stuff, I have another appt with her Friday so we'll go over it in detail, but for now she said I can't eat those things more than 1-2 times a week.
I just got the ok to add a little dairy back in and now this. No revolution rolls, pumpkin bread, hard boiled eggs, omelettes, some dressings, etc...
Poor me.
On a positive note, I did lose some inches according to my measurements this weekend and I am FINALLY experiencing suppressed appetite which will probably help things along. I've been so hungry this whole time. If I'm this allergic to eggs than I imagine getting rid of them will really make me feel better and maybe help some of my other medical stuff. I'm trying to focus on that and not on what I can't have. It's still a bummer though.
Thanks for listening.
