Thanks so much, Fen!
Yes, I've been tested for food allergies, they are usually different every time!  I guess it's whatever is going on in our bodies at that particular time, but, in general, peanuts, wheat, corn, shellfish, dairy, eggs - some milder than others. Peanuts I avoid completely. I also discovered that I am allergic to some preservatives and nitrates and certain additives like MSG. So, I think you are right - it starts out like IBS, but the reaction is from head to toe. I read in my huge library of medical and altenative medicine books that there is something called the "Coca Pulse Test" - meaning if you ingest a food and your heart rate goes up w/i 15 minutes, you are allergic to that food. It's beginning to ease some now, but my BP was high and so was my heart rate and it's just scarey when it happens. No more Sonny's BBQ chicken salad for this chick!  I should have known better because of the fat content plus it being smoked chicken....
I told my DH this AM that it's so odd that we grew up eating anything and everything with no problems- and while I'm not discounting the "getting older issue" , I think it was the fact it was all locally grown - no preservatives, no highly processed food... But, such is our life now.
Thanks again for reaching out to me! {{Hugs}} Dorothy
