Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 My name is Stephanie and I'm 28. I've been vegan for only a little while, due to having a nasty little autoimmune disorder called ulcerative colitis. I've struggled with this disease for three years, and a few months ago removed dairy and eggs from my diet with good results, but not entire recovery. I began to suspect that I had a food allergy when I just happened to go a week without any sort of wheat intake, and my digestive symptoms improved that much more. I've been to doctors and allergists, and they all disagree that I have any sort of food allergy or sensitivity. My allergist did a huge skin patch test series and I had no reaction - not even to the three histamine scratches they gave me. But seriously, who can argue with the improvements I've experienced in my health? I'm pushing to have blood tests done, which he's fighting me on. Sounds like it's time to find a new allergist. Anyhoo, I've recently gone back to school and am finding it really hard to eat anything on campus besides icky fried foods like tater tots and french fries. I'm one of those somewhat hyperactive people that has to eat constantly, and it's not uncommon for me to fill my bag with food from home, eat it all, and then end up wandering around campus in a daze because of low blood sugar. Are there any other students here that have figured out a way to eat healthy on their respective campuses besides living on expensive salads and juices? I'm having a hard time! And, nice to meet you all! ~Stephanie ><((((º>♥<º))))>< me: Stephanie Stiavetti mail: steph blog: http://www.xtrinity.com -> As freezing persons, recollect the snow-- -> First--chill--then stupor--then the letting go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
