Such tough stuff for you - so sorry to hear about the avocado - hopefully the doc will do those tests so you can get some definitive answers - stay strong 

Glad you're doing well and finding things that DON'T work for you. PIA, but wow when I let go of the things that don't work I'm amazed at how much better I feel. No gas, no pains, none of the awfulness I grew up with and thought was normal because "you are supposed to eat broccoli - it's good for you":) Not for me! Sucks when we react to something we like. I had to let go of broccoli which I like. I think even if you get the test done with doc, you might still want to test food the real way by eating and digesting and noticing how your body reacts. BTW - you might know this - I have read that if something doesn't work for you now, it doesn't necessarily mean it is out forever. 

thanks nikeit and Vam49, it is frustrating as I know from last time I could eat very little. once my response healed after many months I could eat a lot of foods, but after a couple years I got careless and here I am again. I said heck with it today since I feel bad anyways, I grabbed a cup of coffee. I miss that most. buzz is going. see I can be self destructive too, I just do it with food or drink most people can normally have.  

It is great you are doing the self-discovery. No one knows your body better than you.  

Have you considered some Acidophilus for rebuilding your stomach flora? I had issues with food (even some on my Bloodtype safe list) until I started taking a couple spoonfuls of Acidophilus everyday. The liquid live stuff is better than the pills. Coffee plays havoc on the microorganisms that help us digest food. For me coffee is a must so I just incorporated a boost for the little guys so I could still do my morning routine. 

Another thing to consider is organic vs conventional produce. Are you reacting to some leftover pesticide food wax or something used by the farmers that an organic product would not use?  

I honeslty don't know marx, the spinach is organic, the broccoli is not. the avocado I remove the peel so that is not the problem there. for the blood diet it is not approved anyway. Just looking for options one at a time. I can not have lettuce,tomato or celery. most nuts and nut oils including coconut, pecans are good. a lot of fish except salmon,cod and tuna from my allergy tests done so far.  

Good luck to you! Elimination diets are really hard, but can be helpful if you can stick to it and truly get rid of what's not being nice to your system. I really hope you get things figured out and the doctor is helpful. 00Marx00, I'll have to check out the acidophilus, I have a terrible stomach and always have issues, so that might be worth looking into. Thanks! 

I have a spot of eczema on my elbow that disappears when I eat organic blackberries but not conventionally grown. I've tested it about a dozen times and it always has the same results. Not sure why but something is different between the organic and the conventional stuff. We live in a very polluted world. Lots of things to consider and try to find a way through it all.  

@Mars2kids Check out the Bloodtype Diet food lists. I eliminated a bunch of food issues by following their recommendations.  

Glad you are feeling a little better. 

Learning the language of the body is a valuable skill. Best doctor around in my opinion. Would be cool if the body could speak in plain english though, but I guess that would turn weird after awhile. 

"Stop putting qtips in me already" my ear says into itself annoyed. Yea, that probably would get weird:) 

Oh no! Not avocado! (((Hugs))) But whatever it takes! You’ve got to get to a place where you feel good 

yes definitely, work out last night was tough, definitely effects my ability when I am dealing with a reaction to food
