OK, new here.... So pardon if this topic has come already. Here's my problem. I was recently diagnosed with allergies to Wheat and eggs. My real problem is that I like food so much, I don't bother to check for allergies. I hope this doesn't sound stupid....

Often our favorite foods are the very nes to which we are allergic - in act they can become addictive - so of course you are not going to want to give up. I suggest the cruel treatment. Live on plain boiled rice for 5 days - plus plenty of water. Introduce one new food each meal after that, & make a diary indicating whether you had a reaction or not - PS: you can have a reaction for up to 36 hours, so watch carefully. this is called an elimination diet - it's touigh, but diagnosing allergies is not easy (esp. if they are intolerances, & don't turn up on the standard allerg tests. Tough - you bet. - but it works. Janed.
