I have a food chemical intolerance that rears it's ugly head most often with mushrooms.
If I eat only tiny piece, of the kind you'd expect to find on a pizza, I'll be waking up around 6 hours later to crawl to the bathroom and puke. Everything. One tiny piece like that will cause an entire dinner to just stop at my stomach with only one escape option. :(
Some years ago I had the misfortune to move through a kitchen where someone just happened to be microwaving a plate of mushrooms. I had no idea what the smell was at the time, but I found out pretty quick what an asthma attack must be like. Having your lungs simply stop working for no reason is terrifying!
Other things I have to be careful about are things soy products and some foods with eggs in them (I can eat eggs alone in most cases, but some preparations of them within other foods results in a muted version of my mushroom intolerance).
Dislikes:
- Some vegetables
- Soup. (I'll digest food internally thankyou)
- Avacados. Dad can't stand them either and we have a free supply. <_<
- Meat pies. New Zealand, Australia and Britain have this wonderous concoction that would be considered pig food where I'm from and amazingly people suck that stuff down like many others would, a hotdog. :blink: You can buy them everywhere in NZ! :blink:
