Allergies

So, I went back to the allergist yesterday and guess what? Even more problems! Surprise, surprise! As of right now, this is my full allergy list: Beef, lamb, pork, soy, halibut,  tuna, pistachios,goat milk, pineapple, histamine from fish, histamine in general. The histamine in general one poses the biggest problem. Actually, being allergic to meet and soy doesn't help either. 

The histamine allergy is one huge piece of this puzzle. Certain foods hurt me really badly- including tomatoes, eggs, cheese, acidic food, most dairy, cinnamon, chocolate, eggplant, beer and more. I was trying to figure it out for a while, and I now know that those foods are high in histamine, along with some other ones. Basically I have to go vegan, but with no soy. Oh wait, it's even worse than that. I can't eat some fruits and vegatables.

I can't have eggplant, pumpkin, sauerkraut, spinach, tomatoes, apricot, berries, dry fruits, peach, papaya, nectarine and I'm probably missing something. 

So far, this is my list of foods that I can actually eat: Whole wheat stuff, rice cake, peanut butter, honey, brown rice, oatmeal, some vegetables, some fruits. I'm not sure about beans yet. We'll see. Hopefully the list grows and/or I figure out cool new recipes. It can't be that hard, right? Right? Anybody? ... 

:: sigh :: 

I just want to figure out what else is wrong. I know that fibromyalgia and allergies are a big part of it but I'm sure there's something else. I just can't figure out what it is yet. I have an appointment with my neurologist in a week and a half. He's the only one of my doctors I currently trust. Somehow they're all awesome the first visit or two and then they turn on you. Weird. We'll see if it happens with him as well. I hope not.
