So, a couple of weeks ago on Facebook, I posted about "being killed by ketchup". That post was because I had bought a Simple Truth Organic Ketchup from Kroger and based on the ingredient label and the full overall label, I should have had zero trouble with the ketchup. But... the first time I used it, I had a severe reaction similar to when I am exposed to corn. I also had another product that I hadn't bought before and I blamed the other product. The following week I had the ketchup again and… read more
just thought I would start a myth busting post.
honey does not cure hay fever. so buy local honey because you like the taste but don't give it any magical cures okay?
Bees collect pollen from flowers which have larger heavier grain pollens than the ones that cause hay fever.
hay fever is caused by much smaller finer grains of pollen.
a bee may pick up some by accident, but not enough to induce any form of tolerance therapy.

wow i feel sorry for you Miriam.Hope it won’t happen to me.
Sure is! Compounding pharmacy is costly, but I am thankful I can get necessary meds in order to function. The world has no idea!

It's hard to find items that don't have all those ingredients. The corn I don't have much reaction to on the outside can't tell with the inside. The eggs are new allergy. Still looking for good suggestion for just plain scrambled eggs. Or bagels, or French toast.

So sorry to hear that! I am allergic to gluten and soy and it is so challenging as soy is in everything- unless I make it myself. Best of luck to you
My daughter went on a field trip and wanted a school bagged lunch. Our previous school district was great with separating lunches for allergies. Yesterday my daughter had PB&J in her lunch. She rolled with it very well. Tried to tell the teachers, but she said nothing happened. Her lunch was raisins, chips, and an apple. She said it was ok because she was full after that. So happy she spoke up and made good choices, but worried it could have been worse. Will be talking with the school tomorrow… read more
Good job, mom. My son once got pneumonia cuz the Y kept giving him HiC to drink although I told them not to. It’s loaded with corn and he was not old enough to tell them at 2 yo.
I am a corn free girl. I avoid all corn and corn derivatives due to severe allergies. I also avoid gluten. Looking for a Probiotic that is both corn and gluten free......any suggestions? Thanks
We’ve just started using this one. Too early to comment from personal experience but came highly recommend.
Does anybody get a watery, foamy mouth when you eat sea salt? I get violently sick (sweaty, stomach pain, nausea) when I consume sea salt, but doctors won’t listen to me. Can you use an epi pen? It feels like some sort of anaphylaxis.
