back to the Down to Earth

I'm not, but (this first part always shocks people) I can't eat popcorn.  I have Crohn's Disease, which is an inflammatory bowel disease, which pretty much means, ummm, do you know what canker sores are?  If you don't, they're these painful, little open wounds in your mouth.  I get larger versions of those in my stomach and intestines.  That usually grosses people out, so sorry if I did!  I still want to be your friend, though! (That was the main reason my "friends" became mean.)

I break out in hives if I take Zithromax. I used up the prescription and itched for days before I figured it out.

Hi,  I have a reaction to Chocolate.  It makes me feel racy, especially at night.     At least I don't crave it at all.

I know this isn't me, but my friend (who is sadly moving to CA) is allergic to cats, BIRDS, dogs, wheat, rye, any type of milk, CHOCOLATE, dust, and about a dozen more things that I can't think of.  I feel so sorry for her!  (She does have a bichon frese (or however you spell it!), because they don't have fur, but instead have hair.... It's weird..... :):):):)

I used to be really allergic to milk and I would get intense earaches whenever I had (cow) dairy. Luckily that has gone away mostly, and I just try to go lighter on dairy when I have, say, a cold. Recently we realized that my sister is allergic to carrots! It's really hard because they use carrots to dye LOTS of things, such as cheddar cheese! Well, just the orange kind. And she gets itchy eyes whenever she eats it!

Pollen, which is only really a problem in the spring but during that time I'm absolutely miserable...

Of course, the part I hate the most is people coming up to me and asking if I'm ok because I look like I'm crying because my eyes are on fire.
