Got CHOCOLATE? Sorta on/off topic

No, I am NOT being funny.

I can HAVE CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Allergy Dr had me try a piece when I was at the Clinic last week ONE PIECE
so I chose a Almond Joy (he gave me a few options to try and said to try it
whilst I was at the Clinic JUST IN CASE. Most ones he named are 'more wax
than chocolate' but there is enuf to give you a reaction. He figured it
happened so long ago that my body had undergone enuf chemical changes
including menopause that I would be safe.

And I had NO REACTION

NONE!!!!!!

Course he said do NOT have a piece every day but I can once in a while and
just see what happens--worst he expects is maybe a migraine. Still have to
stay away from cheese and I have to keep liquid Benadryl with me when I do
have a bit.

He ran all kinds of allergy tests both on my back and by vampire (foods) and
I show a CHEMICAL reaction to cheese but nothing to chocolate...figures its
the 'mold' factor.

Note, I did NOT react to milk but he is NOT ready for me to try that and I
am not either. My calcium blood level is right on so I don't have to take
pills for it either. YAY!

IT did show that I am chemically sensitive to a lot of stuff but we already
knew that and avoidance is my best strategy.

No, I am not ready to buy a bag of M&M's.... not yet anyhow..... I'm holding
out for a piece of Godiva chocolate or one that Sandy in Henderson said was
sooo good.

A happy happy Butterfly

Hooray!

You do realize that by trying the Almond Joy, you were also trying milk. Not
much, I know, but it would have been enough for me to have a bad reaction.
Congratulations!

I hold out for Scharffen Berger, myself. Let me know if you need a care
package.

Woohoo! While licorice is really yummy, it just isn't the same as
chocolate. What terrific news!

Wonderful, wonderful news!

My niece of the million food allergies was recently re-tested. She can
now eat peanuts, fish and dairy. Her doc said she could have milk that
had been cooked (baked in a cake and such) since it undergoes a chemical
reaction that makes it ok for many; but to take her time on the glass of
milk, ice cream and so on. Mebbe one day you can try a muffin or
something at the office and see how you do.

I see that a trip to Cerreta's is definitely in the works before I come
to visit. VBG Do you prefer dark or milk???
What flavor filling or solid?
Won't get a lot, but a couple of pieces to go with the licorice if you
like.
