Nuts.

This whole reincorporation of food thing is...interesting.

Last night, I tried peanuts. I waited until Rob got home to try them because of my sordid recent history with them, (and I think it might be a good thing that I did). I've also adopted the the mindset that if I'm going to reincorporate something, I'm going to go big or go home. (Not such a great idea, I think, but I'm going with it anyway.) So I ate pad thai for the first time in a really long time. Like, almost-five-years-long time. You see, back in 2013, I had some allergy testing done and peanuts popped up on it. I've been avoiding them ever since, even forgoing Five Guys burgers because they're cooked in peanut oil. I never thought that this allergy was all that bad, because the worst it had gotten was that peanuts were a major migraine trigger. Back when I was doing the cardiometabolic diet, I decided to try eating Five Guys because I was feeling adventurous and hoping that my immune system was calming down a bit, and I did fine! Great, even! No reaction. So, even though I had some doubts, I was ready to incorporate peanuts again when the third day of having eggs had passed.

WHAT A TERRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY SHITTY IDEA.

It should be also noted that since starting the elimination diet, my allergies have been on OVERDRIVE. They're worse than they've ever been, and I've been bedridden twice in the past two weeks because of them. Stupid allergies. Some weird stuff has happened too, like my mouth going numb when I eat beets.

ANYWAY. I ate pad thai last night and savored EVERY SINGLE BIT OF IT because I love pad thai. LOVE IT.

Then my mouth went numb.

Then my throat got a little scratchy.

Then I barely slept last night.

Then I woke up with a migraine against which I am currently fighting a losing battle, and my mouth is still a little scratchy. THANK GOODNESS I took a half-day today anyway because of other circumstances and can rest for a little while before I go up to facilitate a group at 7:00. I feel like I've been hit by an effing truck.

I'm fairly convinced that if I didn't have a double-whammy of allergy medications coursing through my veins because of this allergy bullshit, I would have had to go to the emergency room last night. The reaction that I had last night was WITH allergy medications. Plural.

So, yeah. Peanuts are a no, I'm fairly certain.
