food allergies

went to allergist yesterday to see if i am in fact allergic to tomatoes after suspecting so from a slice of pizza and lots of salsa prior. I am apparently more allergic to wheat and dairy which would explain why i was all itchy and bumpy and throat closey after the slice. BUMMER!
So prognosis is allergic to: Wheat, rye, barley, oats, dairy, pork, beef, pistachios, sesame seeds, tomato, eggplant, and bell peppers. yeesh...
a 2 month elimination diet commences today, cutting out all of the above.
Dinner tonight, sauteed collard greens..yam..with carrots coconut raisin salad.
I am looking forward to seeing how my skin and overall health reacts to the new diet.
Today the worse part was realizing i can longer even have oatmeal.
