Hi all
first I want to say that I have been feeling great for 3 weeks and I plan to do a post on ththis am on vacation and I asked my husband to triple check the kind of oil they were using on the fries. He came back claiming they used sunflowers oil is I ate a handful of them. Then he sai "go easy on those. I can't be sure the kitchen knows what they r talking about."
turns out I ate a big handful of fries cooked in soybean oil. So now on vacation and anticipating a flare. Great. After 9 months of a restricted diet my husband still does not know that I can't eat even small amounts of harmful foods. And he still can't remember which foods I can't eat. I am so mad at him. Pretty sure the last time I accidentally ate soy (it was in a marinade and that had sugar too) I was in a world of pain for 12 hours. I am so mad at him. Drinking a ton of water and taking my goldenseal prophylacticly ( it is in my protocol right now anyway but I just upped it). Tomorrow I was going to go horseback riding with my daughters. I could strangle my husband. I told him he needs to treat this like a severe food allergy. I am sorry my immune system is broken. I am tired of explaining all of this to my family. They often just look at me like I am a freak.
sorry for the rant
So sorry Mimi! I totally
So sorry Mimi! I totally understand your frustration! I am the freak of the family and my husband used to say "stop telling people you can't eat this or that." Excuse me, if I am not specific and tell them I will know within 5 minutes if they cooked my food wrong I will know. Soybean oil is the devil!!! I sure hope that it was sunflower oil and you will have a pain free trip. Try to just relax the more you anticipate the pain the more tense you will get and cause a flare from getting angry over a situation that you can't take back. After 2 years my husband is starting to accept this and makes sure that I have asked all the appropriate questions, did you clean the grill, or place in a separate pain, not use any butter or seasoning to cook this, etc, etc. I have him taste all my food if I suspect any seasoning was added just to be sure. I will say an extra prayer for you tonight and enjoy your vacation. This will pass!
Hey- I thought we couldn't

Oh snap girl. Thats so
Oh snap girl. Thats so annoying! I hate when that happens. You might not flare though, so fingers crossed.
Thanks all!!!
Thanks all!!!
You guys crack me up! The soy oil did absolutely nothing!! I had a great ride.
deir, I think sunflower and safflower are in some snack food allowed on list 4. I think it does not flare people but as you know it is a crappy omega 6 and is inflammatory oil so why she probably does not like it
If we don't excel at health, the only other option is disease.
That´s great! Glad you´re
