put down the banana
Today my allergist told me not to “pig out on fruit.” Is that technically possible? Isn’t pig out only available for foods that are BAD for you?
My recent allergic reaction to fruit basically points out that I am quickly becoming more allergic to everything most people consider good for you. Fresh air? Trees? Pretty flowers? Something I am supposed to eat 7-10 servings of a day? Any living non-human companion? Get them away!
Hey at least I’ll be eating steak when they put me in the bubble.

Hey Jenny — sad to hear that, that sucks.
Have you ever heard of Leaky Gut Syndrome? You might want to look into that if you didn’t. http://www.allergyescape.com/leaky-gut-syndrome.html

Isn’t it nice to know that is pretty much any other century you’d be long dead by now? You have to thank medical science for beating up natural selection.

well since most of us would have been dead (since we’ve all taken antibiotics), I don’t really worry about it….also manmade stuff causes most allergies to the environment….
