Hi everyone,

My name is Jill. I'm 34 and allergic to wheat, dairy, egg, soy, peanuts,
shellfish
and gluten (including oats). I also cannot tolerate caffeine and have horrible
migraines periodically. I'm really glad to see your group is out there helping
people like me to overcome the sometimes depressing feelings that come
with never being able to eat what "everyone else" eats. I've had these
allergies for the past 10 years (and the dairy allergy was diagnosed when I
was 15, but I'm sure I had it much earlier and didn't know it...), but I still
sometimes "cheat" and eat something I know I'll have a reaction to. It's an
impulse and I always regret it (like now---my abdomen is in MAJOR pain after
a cookie at Mrs. Field's with my 2-year-old today), but somehow I keep doing
it. Will I always feel compelled to "sneak" in something forbidden?
Ughhh.....any help/support/insight would be much appreciated. Also, is it true
that people often crave what they're allergic to? Thanks for the help...
