Re: As you get older are you finding that...

[ Edited ]

I've dealt with food issues my entire life, thanks to food allergies.  My parents didn't know about food allergies, so mine weren't diagnosed until my early 30's.   

 

I'm allergic to corn, wheat, tomatoes, potatoes, citrus, milk, and egg whites.   Milk and egg whites are my worst offenders, and in the 30 years since my allergy tests, my body reacts even worse to these 2 foods.   

I also have diverticulitis, so anything with skins and seeds is not my friend.   I limit lettuce and cabbage, as I can feel them moving thru my intestine, which is not a feeling I enjoy.   

I love the taste of orange juice, pink grapefruit juice and pineapple juice, but my body hates them and goes into overdrive to delete them.

I cannot eat cantaloupe or fresh pineapple. I could not eat them before I had the gall bladder out and I still cannot eat them. They give me severe cramps.Well, even tho I enjoyed them, I can live w/o them.
