Quickie...

Food allergies came back. Here's the list:
Cow's milk
Cottage cheese
Beef
Almond
Pistachio
Pineapple
Asparagus
Kidney bean
Pinto bean
Navy bean
Brewer's yeast
Coffee
Flaxseed
Psyllium seed
Brown rice
Alfalfa
Watercress
Tangerine
Cumin
Nutmeg
White pepper
Poppy seed
Tumeric
Vanilla
PLUS, I am very nearly allergic to the following:
Casein
Gluten
Yogurt
Ricotta cheese
Safflower seed
Okra

My doctor, who I just saw (I'm assuming "who" is correct, but to be honest I don't care all that much at the moment), told me that it would really be best for my system to avoid not only the allergy foods as much as possible, but the near-allergy foods, too, in case too much exposure sends it over the edge into a full-blown allergy. I refuse, however, to cut out gluten. Sorry, but I like my wheat products and additives.
