I'm not a huge peanut butter fan, Tam, but dang!

Are you allergic to soy beans themselves or is there something mustard and soy sauce like vinegar or some other acid?

Vinegar doesn't seem to bother me, since I absolutely DEVOUR pickles and use vinegar for cleaning corrosion. I have no idea about the soy beans because I've never had them, as far as I know.

I'd developed a fine love for the stuff before that hit. *shakes head*

For a while we only ate cashew butter, it's pretty close to peanut butter and from a completely different plant group. At least it's easier to get substitutes now days.

My only other issues are with whole milk, I can drink low fat, and too much fish oil giving me ocular migraines. I was on fish oil for a while and I could definitely see thru several dimensions. And this is coming from someone who has had several types of seizures including ones where I can see thru time.

Next up on Katt's Weird List of Possible Allergies . . . Lemonade? Thought I was getting a cold, turns out the throat irritation may have been caused by an allergic reaction. I am learning all kinds of weird things about my body lately.

[DollyKim]

Could it be a form of hay fever or some other respiratory irritant? Otherwise it seems like your body has trouble with acidic things and your PH balance and/or hormones could be off. I'm also going to go out on a limb and ask if you might have a natural gas or carbon monoxide leak.

I had a time just a couple years ago where my body was generally allergic to myself and my hormones were giving me hives at certain times in my cycle. We also had a leaking gas stove but the drafts kept us alive. Only moved out of there 6 months ago but the health issues I didn't move in with are gone.

I can't have cashew either. Last time I ate some it almost seems like I had chicken pox on one arm. o.O I've had sunflower, but all the little jars to recycle breaks my mind.

Definitely not natural gas or carbon monoxide, since we don't have natural gas here, but the hormones could be part of it. It's almost "that time". I think I'm just actually starting to pay attention to my body now that I'm over 30. Looking back, these are symptoms I've had previously, I just ignored them because it didn't occur to me they were symptoms.

I wish I knew hormones is what was going on with me at times. It's fun to have an allergic reaction to yourself.

I have eczema that likes to flair up randomly, so I sympathize.
