Wow looks delicious! All the very best! πŸ’œ

Peace and prayers for you, Joy. I hope you feel good soon. πŸ€πŸ™πŸ½

Totally! For example, when we make something with vegetables (not all of them), we sometimes don't throw away the peel. We either stir fry them of mash them depending on the veg. And that's one more dish, lot more nutrition just from it alone! There are so many kinds and varieties of mashed veg its amazing! The more creative and conscious your are, the more you can make out of nature. Mother Nature is so very much giving. 🀍

I guess you're right goddammit! πŸ˜… If I'm not allergic someday, I'll probably be able to eat it all I want. But if I am, I am. I can't train myself to not react. ☹️

Thank you so much for reading, JoySun. And thanks for the feedback. πŸ’œπŸ’œ

Question! (and tldr): Can you actually train yourself to be tolerant to a food you're allergic to?

Because I just decided on my own that I could! I have been allergic to shrimp/prawn and crab (and probably any other shellfish) for 8+ years now. Although I literally grew up eating these two and was very fond of them both. Then my body decided to stop me. It makes me crippled with stomach pain and doesn’t leave me alone until I force myself to throw up every bit of it! So after several of these events I stopped as suggested by the doctor.

After all these years I recently started consuming veryyy little amounts of shrimp again. Like one or two little ones occasionally in the hope of getting my body to tolerate it one small dose at a time. I didn’t really feel *much* reaction except slight uncomfyness in the stomach.

Today I went a little too far and consumed a little more than I usually do. Like four shrimps. And would you believe that the stomach pain came back. πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ Not in full-swing though. Like 5/10, tolerable with itchy throat and all. I wont have to throw up but if I had to move or go anywhere or do any heavy work, I know that wouldn’t be possible in this condition.

Are ya'll still reading? πŸ˜… I'm so bummed! Is it actually possible to train ourselves to reverse the allergy? #asknostr #foodstr

It was untill I decided to be stupid and willingly consumed prawn. I'm allergic to prawn. 😭 I had a very little amount so I hope it doesn’t give me much trouble and that I'm able to study during the reactions too πŸ˜­πŸ™ŒπŸ½πŸ™πŸ½
