diet

I’ve been suffering hypoglycemic attacks, dermatitis and anal bleeding again, so I’ve decided to eliminate soy (as much as I can - since it’s like corn - it’s in everything). I am also eliminating corn again, too. These things will be eliminated for ten days, at which point I will reintroduce one at a time over a period of seven days apart.

I found out that the dermatitis is exacerbated by cleaning products - namely those bleach-added cleaning wipes that I’m so fond of. So now I use rubber gloves when using the wipes, and I’m nursing broken skin.

Job and money stress are NOT helping with the dietary restrictions.

I had a mocha and a scone for lunch (although aren’t you excited for me that I didn’t have a reaction to the scone?).

January 11, 2009 edit: I am still consuming soy and corn and I still have not been able to determine whether they really do cause me the problems listed above. The only soy I consume is via tamari when I go out for sushi, and soy lecithin where it may be contained in the ingredients of certain prepackaged foods I eat.

    My personal suggestion is this. Start seriously looking for a job now but if you are offered a position tell the employer you need to be able to give your current job 2 or 3 weeks notice. It will force the current boss to hire someone but also give her the needed time to do it. You take care of both yourself and current employer.

    You need a secure job so you can feel financially safe again. Take care of yourself because the panic attacks over this are just not worth it.

    Well that is my 2 cents worth of opinion.
