Allergies

The real challenge all started in six grade when I found out I was lactose intolerant. When I was a baby I was also lactose intolerant but it did not affect me as much. I just had different formulas. But in six grade my favorite thing to have was ice cream form the dairy queen. After eating this kind of food I always got sick. But being that age I was confuse about what was going on. I never heard for food allergies. So I let it go on of about a whole summer before telling my mom what was going on. Finally when I told my mom she told me to tell her next time it happened. Well the next day I went to the dairy queen and got sick. So for a whole week I did not eat dairy nothing happened my stomach was doing great. After doctor the doctor confirmed it, I went of dairy completely. Been like that ever since. Ever since then I have found alternatives to that kind of food. It took a while to weed out the stuff I did not like but I did. In these six year I have only had one slip up and that was when a doctor prosrbed me was meds that had lactose in it. Safe to say that made me even sicker. Worst couple days that my stomach encountered.

When I entered in to high school my stomach started to bother me. Every day for I would get up not feeling well I continue through the day like that. There were only a couple days were I did not feel that pain. Those were the best days. But over time I learned to deal with all the pain and push past it. But it got so bad that it kept me from hanging out, going to play sports. All I did was stay home in pain. Over those last three years I had gone to the doctors so much that I was use to going four times a month. I ended up going to three doctors over the past three years. Then final my parents got really desperate because I would go a week at a time only eating bread and water. Finally mom my way talking to this girl’s mom in her class and she recommended this doctor. So I went and described what I felt. The doctor took four tubes of blood to test me with. The test came back as I was allergic to all types of yeast, gluten and eggs. So I went off those types of food. Ever since then my stomach has been normal. I have my bad days but I can enjoy life and worry less about my health. It was a weight lifted off my shoulders. My life has dramatically taken a turn for the best and I owe it all to this one lady, the doctor and my parents. Bu tit has its challenges that I am restrict in food chooses. But my one big thing that bothers me is gone people say I am sorry. I am not sorry for myself.

If had to be allergic to one thing what food would it be to??
