I am at a point where I feel i am finally understanding my body. I have never been tested for my allergies. I believed i had simple allergies like everyone else and popped a benadryl or whatever when my head felt the size of a building. I realized however i have many a food allergy or better yet intolerance. I realized i was thin as a twig my whole life and was told by a gastroenterologist that i had not a full blown lactose intolerance but a fat intolerance. I always felt bloated after milk, and was ridding myself of important nutrients running to the bathroom. I had numerous female problems and recurrent yeast infections. Why no gyno ever mentioned that it might be a symptom of a yeast allergy i do not know. I went on a bread fast one week and realized i did not need coffee in the morning to feel alert. I felt more awake and less tired. I was eating bread for all three meals! No matter how much i exercised or ate well, (bread was never left out of course), i never felt energized. Now i take b supplements and eat crackers (yeast-free) instead of bread, exercise and in 3 months no female prob.'s, yeast infections, and my energy is increasing. I also am unable to drink whole milk and eat ice cream but I can drink organic 2%. I am heavier than ever. Now to survive when the weather changes......ugh Christine
