Tis the season, at least here in FL. Got it doubly bad as I picked up a nasty bug while on vacation. A sinus, bronchitis, intestinal thing that is still lingering a month later.

Intestinal thing? I kid you not, but I had some very lively yogurt (Trader Joe's) and it cured a nasty intestinal problem over night. Apparently it's six active bacteria kicked ass* on Clostridium Difficile that was living alone in my antibiotic 'purged' colon with the most novel and wondrous effect. * a pun, if you like

It works quite well with the SO. "Honey, can you cook dinner tonight? I'm suffering from allergies!" ;)

I have a bazillion food allergies. Probably some environmental ones as well. You have my sympathy. I don't have a solution.

My ex solved the problem in a way that you might try out ... On, shit. Forget it. She was allergic to pollen from grass and birch, to the degree that every spring, her doctor gave her a shot that knocked her out for half a day, yet she had to chew these tablets all through the summer. Then she got pregnant, and her doctor advised her that if she could try to handle it without the shot, it would be safer for the fetus. She did, and wasn't very much bothered at all. She did gnaw a few tablets (with the blessings of her doctor), but not much. Then next summer, she had tablets available, but didnt use them. Later, she didn't even bother to ask her doctor for them. As we know, there are historical records of at least one pregnancy not requiring a man. If you are lucky, you might find some way to have a pregnancy without a woman. I guess that in both cases, it is a question of faith. Hey, when doing a final check of this post, I discovered a CP feature I wasn't aware of: I never typed that asterisk in the first paragraph - I typed an "i" (and it still is an "i" in the editing field). Makes me want to try out which other words are rewritten by the CP software! ... but that will have to wait until I can do it safely without anyone lookin over my shoulder. :-)

Indeed. And then I could start a new religion when my child was crucified by the men in white lab coats! Hmmm...

Thanks for the tips about the dark chocolate and sugar. I have a dust mite allergy and I'm on antihistamines chronically. Any other foods you know of that have histamine responses?
