Pam mentioned being allergic to chocolate. I know a few folks who would rather be dead than not be able to have chocolate. I like chocolate, but could take or leave it most of the time. What would get me are the following, though. Allergy to any of these things would make life not worth living: peanuts beer bacon cheese raspberries wheat (though I did eat very little when I was hardcore low-carbing and did quite well) garlic Jelly Belly beans seafood In recent years I seem to have issues with shrimp...or maybe something that most shrip is treated with. I get terrible hive, intestinal issues, misery. Shrimp used to be one of my favorite foods and it still really makes me sad that I have to avoid it. Luckily I seem to be able to still eat scallops. If I developed an allergy to all shellfish I think it would really be too much to bear. k

White chocolate isn't chocolate, though--no cocoa. I'm not sure if all of it even has cocoa butter. Is it just the cocoa that you are allergic to? k

Pizza... I would be SO sad if I were allergic to pizza. I love pizza. Just ask my youngest daughter, I say that phrase, "I love pizza", EVERY time we have pizza... drives her bonkers! Big grin

Penicillin. Hives, convulsions etc. Fun stuff. I'm not allergic to any foods, although after having my daughter I couldn't eat mushrooms for about a year, they burned my throat and stomach, prior to and after that year I was fine with them. Odd.

I've got a friend who can't handle gluten. I don't think I could survive on his diet. I think I am allergic to garlic. It kind of bums me out because I like the stuff. I'm not sure why it took me 30 years to figure out that when I feel like crap for 2-3 days after eating garlic, maybe I should avoid garlic. Or maybe I should have let the allergist do the food allergy test last time that I went so that I'd have known what to avoid.

Michael, we have a friend who is allergic to garlic and onions. It makes it very difficult for them to eat out, since nearly every sauce and spice blend contains one or both. Right now I wish I were allergic to candy. Gah, somebody flush it down the toilet for me, or something... Tongue

Well right now I am sat here with scabby lips and sores up my nose, pondering my cat allergy! Despite that quack of a Doctor saying it couldn't possibly be an allergy - it definitely is! Halloween night three of the houses I visited had cats and the next day my lips were buzzing and sore again. By the next day I was having nosebleeds. Same happened when I looked after my nieces and nephew - they have three cats and my lips flared up the next day. Could Kirsten live with a cat allergy? Claire xxx
