Partially out of curiosity and partially due to so many other allergies, I had the complete gluten sensitivity and egg, yeast, soy sensitivity panels done through enterolab (a friend had used them and his doctors had no problem accepting their results).  My brain is still adjusting to “any reaction at all is bad, so any food containing gluten, dairy, or soy should be avoided” part.  Over the last 3 weeks or so, I’ve culled the obvious foods from my diet … well, mostly, still having a hard time letting go of sour cream.  Now I have to work on the not so obvious parts and learn where bits may be lurking so I can actually be free of gluten, dairy, and soy.

I never had what I would consider the stereotypical intestinal issues due to a food allergy.  But since starting to make changes to my diet I’ve noticed less lethargy and an absence of joint pain among other things.  Also realized that ice cream hurts, so that was easy enough to let go (though a little sad about no more Morelli’s).

It’s a little late for this sentiment, but whatever … let the adventure begin
