Grandma's cookin' and bloggin'

I wish all the chemists and anyone that had anything to do with the making of all the chemicals that they added to our food supply, would have the reactions that I have had from these additives. I have been suffering for years because someone decided they could make money by mixing up these chemicals like: Aspartame, MSG, Splenda, Sucralose, Acelfame K, Neotame, Cyclamate, Alitame and who knows how many others, then they put this crap in our food. And the worst thing is that we don't know it's there until we have a reaction to it. Some people do not know they have an allergy to these chemicals until they have areaction and they don't what it is. They may ignore it until it becomes serious.

My first experience with allergies was when I had a terrible rash on my stomach and trunk area. I tried everything to get rid of it but when everything seemed to fail and I got worse, I actually had to use a sanitary napkin to soak up the seeping eruptions. Thinking it was poison ivy, I went to the doctor and his first thought was the same as mine and he gave me a shot for poison ivy. The shot did absolutely nothing for my problem. I was then sent to a skin specialist and he told me that I had a very serious allergic reaction to something and I would have to go through the process of elimination to find out what I was allergic to. The process of eliminationis not the funnest or easiest thing to go through. You have to write down everything you eat or drink and if the item you ate has several ingredients, you have to write them down too. It's not easy but if you are in misery like i was you will do whatever it takes to find out what you are allergic to and what is causing you all this trouble and at the same time you will be eating healthy.

It took me some time to figure out what was causing all the itching, hives, chest pains, cramps and diarrhea and of course all the moles that I could do without.I not only kept track of what I ate and if I had a reaction but I also kept track of the type of reaction that I had. I was able to tell from the reaction like the hives and rash that would appear on the top of my hands and arms after I ate something that contained Aspartame. I have severe chest pain from hives in my esophagus when I eat something with Splenda or Sucralose in it. Splenda and Sucralose have chlorine in it and I am very allergic to Chlorine. MSG, (monosodium glutamate)gives me cramps and diarrhea, hives and swollen lips and tongue, then comes the High Fructose Corn Syrup, that caused a very painful rash under my arms, breasts and trunk area. You try to stay away from food that contains these chemicals but I found out the hard way that if the chemical is not at least 5% of the product, they do not have to list it. You have to ask your friends if they used any of these chemicals in the dish they brought to pass at your party or you just do not eat it. If this article interests you please follow my BLOG.
