I am allergic to chocolate. I was for a long time. I continued to eat it even after my body developed a strong, negative reaction to it - for decades. I did not give it up until some kind of medical authority said I should stopped. I had made an agreement with myself ahead of time that if that ever happened, independently of myself, then I would do it - I would stop eating it.
My health improved greatly once I stopped eating it (and many other things). The test that provided the data is an IgO test. My current allergist says that that test has only 40% correlation to food intolerances. But chocolate was at the top of the list. I proved it by relenting, and eating a piece of chocolate cake that my nephew made just for me. It was a delicacy. It made me sick for 3 days. very sick - blowing fumes with great force out of my rear end kind of sick. To the point that it hurt to sit down.
I need to get better at controlling thisd behavior. It is Halloween. Candy is in abundance. I have little control. I ate too much today - and I feel very sick. I have gas, but it is not coming out. It has bloated me, and the gas is moving slowly through my intestines. It really hurts. I have a terrible headache. My wrists, elblows and ankles really hurt.
Is today the day I learn the lesson?
