Misslibra | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:47 pm     Clio they are talking about Nate now saying he wouldn't have been able to eat any of that food. LOL |
Cliotheleo | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:48 pm     Yep, and they're right! I can hear it now .......... "Jewish people? What are they again?" |
Pannie | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:49 pm     Robert ate Albacore tuna eyeballs - at least it was dolphin-safe. Poor tuna  |
Pannie | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:51 pm     Is Dana chasing Nate around the sequester house about now??? <snark-snark> |
Cliotheleo | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:52 pm     Yep! She most certainly is! |
Pannie | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:56 pm     Nate will do some 'learnin' from the big D. Golly! |
Misslibra | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:59 pm     The HG's are complaining about their hands smelling like fish. If they only knew either vinegar or baking power rubbed on the hands and wash well afterward would help get rid of the fish odor. Good fish don't smell at all, I hate that fishy smell myself. |
Kalekona | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:19 pm     Aus.. I have the same reation to peanuts, have to check what's in everything.. Most people don't know that if your allergic to peanuts you can't eat M&M's.. they are processed on the same line as the M&M peanuts. They list it now on the package but when i was a kid they didn't and I could never figure out why my throat and mouth would itch..(must have been samll enough amounts that it was just irratating and not live threatening.) I too have had sever reactions, throat itches and swells closed. Yes I carry an epi pen but for years people would act like i was just being a baby I never realized it could kill you until i was an adult. The thing with me is I can't even stand the smell of peanuts so by body must have instictivly known they were bad for me. |
Puzzled | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:23 pm     Aus10 - Zachsmom is right. The anaphylactic shock is a result of an allergic reaction, or over reaction. No duh's for you--unless you're an allergist. {smile} Yes, I have an epi kit, but that's really for bee stings. Fortunately, I only have the reaction if I actually eat seafood, and it's pretty easy to avoid. The only time I ate seafood without knowing it was when I had a Caesar salad--didn't know it had anchovies. I was pregnant and passed out--fortunately next door to a hospital! |
Kalekona | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:29 pm     Shell Fish and peanuts are the two deadlist food allergies. It's really odd what people can be allergic to. I grew up allergic to just about everything (even took allergy shots every week, they helped but aren't a cure and do nothing with foods) yet when i heard the food allergies Clay Aiken had I had to laugh...mint, chocolate (that's common), shell fish (also common and not to wierd), tree nuts, coffee, and mushrooms. Don't think i've ever met anyone allergic to mint before, and i guess the reaction is gastric not respitory, ( anapholatic shock) I've had people tell me they'd die if they couldn't have peanut butter but can you imagine not being able to eat chocolate? (it's likely i too am allergic to bees but i've never been stung so it's never been tested other than in scratch tests.) |
Cinder | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 04:03 am     I know the people with shell fish allergies have a hard time going to any seaood restuarant because almost everything is cooked together or next to each otehr. My poor father-in-law has this allergy and was dear enough not to complain when I had my graduation party at Pappadeaux. They manager took his order, made sure a special meal was prepared for him, and checked on him throughout. I wouldn't put him in that situation again. I assumed as long as he got broiled food it would be ok- but the manager said that it was cooked on the grill right next to shrimp. |
Lostintheglades | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 05:41 am     Aus - I have a friend who has a child with Homosystinuria - It displayed itself as a behavioral problem at first and they narrowed it down to him just being irritable due to the protiens in his diet. She took him to a specialist at All Childrens in Tampa and they actually have something that he drinks now which helps his body metabolize the protiens. I remember for a while she had to fix seperate meals for him as he was only about 4, rice products were a staple for him.(Rice Milk, etc.) |
Aus10 | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 09:26 am     Wow...I didn't realize so many people had food allergies. I'm in the same boat as Kalekona..took allergy shots, was basically allergic to everything from animals (all but dogs and horses?) to the furniture that was in our home. I remember the weekly shots as well. The good thing is, I've outgrown most of them, only three still bother me badly, those being nuts, penicillin, and of all things...cats. Lost....they found nephews homosystinuria at age 4 weeks. According to Riley Children Hospital in Indy, he's one of the youngest they've ever found it in. Usually, by the time homosystinuria is found, behavior problems and sight loss have set in. Nephew drinks the special "formula" as well and will the rest of his life. It's a small world that two of us here know about homosystinuria, as it is SO rare...the odds being about 1 to 3,000,000 births. Make sure your friend knows about having other children in the family tested. My neice is a carrier of the genetic disorder but does not have it, same as both her parents. When she gets married if by some chance her husband is a positive carrier as well, they will be unable to have children without the disorder they've been told. |
Earthmother | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 09:50 am     FYI..since I have been accused of trivializing food alergies.....I SAID "I'm sure they are asked if they have any food alergies before they are accepted as contestants." I was talking about the hgs not the world population... |
Misslibra | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 02:11 pm     I made a typo above in one of my post it should of read baking soda not baking power. |
