I had a doctor appt with my amazing holistic doctor on friday morning and got the results of my delayed food allergy and food sensitivity test. It was a lot to take in. I should have known though given my medical history. I didn't seem to have any outward symptoms that's why I had assumed I had magically avoided the food allergies... I thought God felt bad and said "Hey Jess, I will let you have a pass on this one". Not so much though. I am officially allergic to shrimp and egg whites. I am pretty sensitive to lobster and corn. I also have sensitivities to dairy products but that's not as bad as the others. For now I am trying to avoid certain foods and see where that gets me. I recently did another test that will tell how my intestines are functioning. From the results of the food allergy test the dr. thinks I have leaky gut syndrome. It's where there's a hole or perforation in my small intestines and some of the food that isn't completely digested is leaking into my system and my body is trying to attack... hence the immense amount of sensitivites (esp. to veggies, which shouldn't be happening). It was a lot of infomation to take in this weekend and I have had a few breakdowns but ultimately it's good to have the info. I've been doing things to my body without even realizing it and it's been damaging. Now that I know, I can actively work NOT to eat those things that cause inflammation. It's just going to be a difficult process. But nothing worthwhile ever comes easy, right?
We officially only have one residence now!! It's amazing. We did what we could to finish up the apartment and decided not to have someone come in to clean the carpets b/c it wouldn't be worth it. There was too much damage so we are going to be sent a bill. That's going to be a bit rough but hopefully we will be able to work with the complex on a payment plan of some sort. We're truly hoping so anyway :)
Alright, back to work for now. Lunch break is about over.
