For
as long as I can remember I have been a picky eater. I have gotten a
lot better about eating more diverse foods. Unfortunately, I also have
several food intolerances. About five years ago, I was first tested for
food issues. I was having a lot of trouble with foods, mainly being
nauseous every day. I was living in Boston at the time, and on my way
to the work in the morning, on the T, I would be looking for the exits in
case I needed to get off to throw up. I found out that I was severely
intolerant to apples.. and at the time I was eating an apple everyday
(an apple a day is supposed to keep the doctor away).
I have been told by several naturopathic doctors that my
food intolerances are related to my MD. Something about the MD starting
as a virus, then your body can't fight it anymore, so it sort of goes
behind the scenes and other things (like food issues) show up a lot. I
don't understand kinesiology as much as I wish I did, but my
body always seems to respond well to the supplements given to me from the testing. So I usually believe what
they tell me.
Just last week I went to a new kinesiologist and found
out that I am having issues with food again. I went back into a small
depression about eating. I went through this before. I get told all
these things I "shouldn't" eat, and at some point it's like... what else is
there? If I didn't have to eat, I probably wouldn't. Because the
truth is, most food makes me feel bad- tired, stomach aches, even stuffy
nose and head congestion. It's more like a chore.
