Food Allergies

Did you know that food allergies can break out your skin? Actually it can do a lot more: eczema, psoriasis, rash, acne, yeast infections, joint and muscle pain, dry scalp, bloating, and much more!

So if you can't figure out why you keep breaking out you might want to make an appointment with an Allergist or a natural-path MD. They will perform a blood test and a skin prick test. I've had it done and found out I'm extremely allergic to yeast and wheat. Now my diet consist mainly of whole foods: Oats, brown rice, quinoa, fruits, vegetables, fish, chicken, and turkey. When ever possible I try to buy only organic foods.

My Daily Food Journal:
Breakfast: Flaxseed Oatmeal, 2 eggs, greens OR protein shake
Lunch: I don't normally eat because I'm not hungry but if I am I eat a salad or a wrap
Dinner: I have recently been cooking a lot. My new favorite website is BigOven.com.
1) Turkey meat sauce and rice pasta
2) Turkey stuffed peppers
3) Tofu stirfry
4) Rice mac N cheese mixed with veggies

Keep that in mind the next time you put something in your mouth, you might be allergic to it!

Remember to post your question. I want to hear what is on your mind.

much love, Jill:)
