This makes sense. With the woods. Def wear bug spray. I’m not far from there!

A tick bite that changes everything: Alpha-Gal Syndrome prevents people from eating red meat and dairy, and Arkansas cases are climbing fast: https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/alpha-gal-cases-in-arkansas/91-bc9c2777-535d-40df-b407-458d4d75a832?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_5NEWS

I’m all for wins and staying positive but the truth is, sometimes this allergy is hard or mysterious. That’s not weakness. There are bad days or bad reactions. It happens.

My weekly win is my favorite homemade pancakes and then you have last night where I had a mystery reaction.

How’s alpha gal treating you??

My worst fear. lol. A nightmare for anyone with food allergies or ibs. (Or panic disorder. I have all 3. Fun.) Throwback to when we went on a tour of a cave at Silver Dollar City.

Am I the only one that panics over this?

Bar soap contains tallow or beef tallow, fat from cows. I was completely unaware of this until I had alpha gal. I use Native body wash now. Got a fave body wash ?

Was this a popular thing? My grandma was old school and strict. Haha.

Went to an allergist today to address my egg allergy mystery & bc alpha gal of course. He was great. He’s going to also address the issue I have of not being able to breathe out of my nose. No dr has ever figured that one out.

He was MUCH better than the last allergist who told me dairy is fine and it’s ok to use animal products on my skin. Huh???

Have you had positive or negative experience with an allergist ??

Eating out with Alpha-gal meant Panda Express for my son & Raising Cane’s for me. (Everything at Panda is friend in the same fry oil as the beef.) My MIL once proclaimed, we can’t take food from one place into another restaurant! Really? I do it alllll the time 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

How do you handle eating out? Fave restaurants??

Who’s right? Have you tried vegan pizza?
