Allergies

After visiting a specialist, Paul has finally learned which foods he should avoid (his stomach will thank him). I've been trying to get him to make this appointment for several years now, and after one recent 3 am wake up, he decided he can't deal with this when he gets old.
Luckily, he does not have any #4 allergies (anaphylactic shock). But he has several #2's. The way the doctor described it that any of these food items on their own would probably not bother him, but when you stack them throughout the day (wheat at breakfast, tomatoes at lunch, strawberries and carrots at dinner), it could cause him to have a reaction. Makes sense!
So he's just supposed to avoid certain foods. As well as MSG and other preservatives (I knew that stuff was bad for you). And he's supposed to make sure that his food is well cooked and should avoid eating raw fruits and veggies if possible.
Turns out that the doctor knew his dad pretty well, and he was very nice to us. This doctor was also a "close talker" (remember that from Seinfeld?).
I have never seen an allergy test done, and I went just so I could watch. Interesting!
