  • I’m starting to get medical care, I’m hoping I have time to get everything done before I run out of insurance later this year. Last time I went to go get tested was immediately after my allergic reaction where they didn’t mention that taking allergy meds within a week of the test would mess up the results when making the appointment, just when I walked in the door. Go figure. Yeah, I’m probably allergic to dairy. I actually know I’m allergic to shellfish, so I never have that one.


  • This is a highly specific question that may be outside of the scope of the thread, but IDK where else to mention it. My main barrier to becoming vegan is allergies. I don’t know this for sure because I have no official diagnosis, but my grandma does and was the only person who seemed to understand my seemingly random allergic reactions. But, she told me that it could be MCAS+Histamine allergy, what she deals with. Being randomly allergic to different things for short amounts of time. Last time I tried a prebought vegan alternative, I went into shock. Looking at the ingredients list everytime this has happened, nothing really stuck out to me as something that’d cause that reaction. Right now, I’ve only ever had minorly annoying allergic reactions with meat, nothing that’s sent me to the hospital, while it feels like anytime I start getting comfortable with eating vegan stuff (mostly preprocessed tbh, although my own vegan cooking did send me to the hospital for allergies once), I end up in more medical debt.

    Are there any particularly allergy inducing vegan foods? Any particularly hypoallergenic vegan foods?














  • Yeah that’s always what I’ve done. Get a 32 ounce fountain drink somewhere and just sit at my desk with it for a while.

    And if fountain drinks weren’t 32 ounces, I’d just buy two bottles or cans instead. They taste better, and would probably be about the same price with other nation’s fountain drink sizes. What can I say, my soda addiction replaced my fent addiction. I just love bubbly water with sugar in it. I’m so glad I get it for free at work. Probably doesn’t help my stomach issues though



  • Not a good idea. You never end up addicted on the first cig/puff of a vape, you normally just get sick or cough a shit ton. Your second cig is way better, but still doesn’t seal you on the addiction. I smoked socially for months with no issues, smoked a cigarette when I was stressed and it was instantly game over for me. I instantly knew I was addicted after that first great cig. Now I’m pretty hopelessly addicted.

    If you ever try it, don’t get comfortable with it. And if you really want to try it, I find pipe tobacco and cigars to be higher quality and less addictive than store bought cigs.
