Dot Belle, I was reading about your allergic reaction! I'm so sorry to hear about that!

As an adult, one of the worse episodes I had was a result of eating a Hot Pocket!! I have no idea what's in those things but I 'Swole up' as we say in the South! It was awful. Needless to say, you won't find me in the Hot Pocket aisles of my grocery store now. Any thought as to what triggered it? New soap or toothpaste or anything like that? Hugs dear, Byride

What about the words "HOT POCKET" made you think it was a food item??? :H:H:H?

Good God - processed foods are loaded with all kinds of allergens
The 'cleaner' I eat the happier I am, allergy/food intolerance-wise.

When I finally convinced myself that I could no longer tolerate any amount of dairy I also found I can't tolerate soy either. SO, getting rid of the processed stuff was a real necessity for me.

Dottie, dairy, soy & nuts are common allergens. And it looks like more & more people are reacting to wheat. My husband is deathly allergic to shellfish - it's not pretty when he accidently ingests shellfish, yuck.

Stay out of the frozen food aisle everyone (except for frozen veggies & fruit)

I agree with you, Lav. I try to stay on the periphery of the grocery store with quick dashes down the frozen fruit/veg and nut aisles. It does mean quite a bit of time spent in the kitchen, but that's ok.

Hi friends, thanks for the laugh about hot pockets. I had a friend in high school who had a fridge full of those and we would heat those up in the microwave. It was exciting until about half way through the damn thing and your guts started to really disagree with your decision. Those things are possessed by an evil spirit! When you eat clean for a while and then "cheat" it really affects how you feel, mood and energy level!

That's so true Pinecone & you just can't ignore the screaming coming from your gut :H :H
Eating out can be a real challenge sometimes.......the world seems to be drowning in butter, milk & cheese :H

Yes indeed! I used to enjoy ice cream, too much of course and too late at night. I gave that up because it actually feels too close to a hangover to me. I thought it was just me and then someone else posted the same effect. We really have nutrition out of whack in our culture!
