What can I eat?

What can I eat?

I am allergic to a lot of foods, mainly healthy ones. To list a few: bananas, peanuts & other nuts, oranges, potatoes, pork, pineapple, peas, strawberries, and the list goes on.  For my reactions, I get blisters on my lips and tongue, difficulty breathing, severe abdominal cramping, and hives. I also can't take a once daily vitamin because when I do I break out in eczema on my face, scalp, and arms and legs. I get allergy shots. I would like to know what I can eat in order to get my daily amount of vitamins and minerals...? It's frustrating trying to eat healthy and being allergic to a lot of healthy foods. Sometimes I do not eat at all because I would rather not put bad things in my body, but I realize not eating is bad too. Any suggestions?! I am also going to speak with my allergist.

Hello Marisa! Like you, I am fairly limited as well. I really think it could be helpful for you to check out the Weston A. Price foundation. They have great information on what can be eaten to boost the immune system. It may be able to help your reactions become less severe. Dr. Price was a dentist back in the 1920's and travelled around the world in search of people with perfect teeth and health. He wanted to find out why the patients he was seeing had horrible cavities, crooked teeth and other health problems. He found plenty of indigenous cultures all over and wrote about what they ate and how extremely healthy they were. The information contained on the site has a lot to do with his discoveries about health.  I hope you find it as helpful as I have!
