Allergies, Allergies

I decided to get ELISA allergy testing done, as a way to naturally help myself and reduce inflammation. Women with endo very often have undiagnosed food allergies, sensitivities, and candida imbalances. I got the blood work about a week and a half ago, the day before I got sick, and received the results back today. Wow I am allergic to EVERYTHING, gluten and yeast being the biggest two, although allergic to many other things including apples, blueberries, milk, mushrooms, olives (and oil), tomato, cocoa, black pepper, lettuce and pineapple among other things :/

WTF, I can't even eat lettuce anymore? It is a sad, sad day.

So I am planning on eliminating my allergies ASAP, so I will update as my with drawls go on. I am a nutritionist, so I do eat very healthy and follow the "endo diet" as it is, and am a vegetarian. So I am just going to have to be creative and come up with a plan. Tomorrow is my birthday (I am having a mid 20's crisis), however, so I will probably eat pasta and a mini gourmet cupcake, but apart from that planned cheat, I do plan on sticking to the new allergy protocol. Ice cubes and air it is. *Sigh*
