A few of you know I have really bad food and environmental allergies,so for 7 -1/2 years I have been staying away from more than 50 foods.

I got retested 2 weeks ago and some allergies got worse, some better. The ones that improved, I'm allowed to introduce slowy back into my diet to see if I tolerate them

I had a grilled cheese Sandwich yesterday and hershey bar today - first time in 7-1/2 years - what a treat - and so far no allergic reaction !
I still have to be careful as my immune system is so out of wack I could still have an allergic reaction to something I didnt test allergic too, but that choc bar was soo darn good, I might have another in a few weeks :wink:

Just had to share

How exciting! There was a time where we had to take ALL foods away from my kids because of crazy allergy reactions, so I totally understand how wonderful this is!

7 1/2 years without CHOCOLATE?!! It's hard to imagine how you survived!

I'm glad you're able to add some foods back into your diet... especially the chocolate.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes !

The thing I have missed the most was dairy - I won't be able to have a lot of it, Allergist said as bad as my allergies are if I start eating a lot of dairy I'll likely become allergic again, but hey a grilled cheese sand or yogurt occassionally will be heaven and throw in a hershey kiss or bar once a month, I'll be very happy

Ditto annieG - I can't imagine so long without CHOCOLATE.

Congrats on being able to have your treats!! Hope more dietary windfalls come your way!
