Food Allergy

I had blood tests done as part of an investigation about my hearing loss. In the process I have discovered that I am allergic to nuts.

This past month I have been eating more nuts than I normally do. Salted cashew nuts specifically.
Last year I went on a Candida diet for a month but could not maintain it. The only habit I retained was to stop drinking coffee. However when school started again I began having cup every now and again. I felt a strong urge to start drinking again but I have resisted letting it become a habit again.
I now have one cup a week at a coffee shop.

The ENT says my best line of defense is to improve my health avoid nuts and sugar. treat my pollen and grass allergic reactions immediately - might have to go onto cortisone if my allergic reaction is bad. I must have a hearing test once a year to monitor my hearing loss.

The next step is to get hearing aids.
