Mystery Solved...Maybe?

Thanks for all the congratulations, I really am super psyched! Now if she would just come out! Ok maybe it's a bit early for that, but I no like being pregnant!

Anyways, on to the mystery. For months now, I have been to the doctor, trying to figure out what is wrong with me. My symptoms of joint pain, fatigue, and headaches pointed to it possibly being lyme disease. But my doctor decided before we would do the expensive test for lyme that straight out tells you if you have it, we would test for food allergies first. Apparently, these aren't normal allergies, but the sneaky kind that take hours or days to show up.  The body creates antibodies when these foods are eaten and it can cause you to be tired, have headaches, and joint pain. So they drew my blood and he indicated if it was just a few low intolerances that this probably wasn't the answer, but if I had too many, it might be the cause. When the test came back, I was very unhappy with the results! It turns out I am allergic to almost everything they tested me for (88 different things.) To allow me to be able to still eat, he wants me to eliminate all foods that came back 1+, 2+, and 3+. This is still a ton of stuff. See for yourself...

If I didn't mark it, then it's a 1+. By your awesome deduction skills, you may notice that this eliminates all grains, well every grain they tested for and he said to avoid them all. This means no bread, chips, tortillas, pasta, rice anything that you use to make most meals. I am also suddenly very on board with products not using corn syrup! In the honor of science, I am giving it a chance, at least two weeks completely, until I see the doc. Being pregnant and having to eat mostly fruit and dairy is not easy. I have been unusually hard to deal with and I have to say after a week, I finally cracked yesterday for a bit to have an Arby's Beef n Cheddar and some curly fries. Somehow I have managed to avoid chocolate, but I am bummed it is my only 3+, so I may have to always steer away from it. That means no more chocolate milk or protein shakes after runs...tear, tear. 

Enough of my whining, if it helps that would be great. I hate always feeling sick! Although I might kill for a doughnut right now!
