Well, I did it again. Made another run to the ER last night. This time with a mild allergic reaction. Have been on a very strict diet since have the intense allergic reaction while eating the yogurt and sorbet mix a couple of weeks ago. I had been figuring it was the raspberries in the sorbet that about did me in. So last night I got myself into the cookie crumb gelato. Different brand, different flavor, different ice cream, and no raspberries. I tested it first, ate a couple of bites, waited a while, no problem. Then about the time I was finishing it off, I noticed my upper lip starting to turn numb (the first sign of an allergic reaction). So I got to the ER. This time only mild swelling in my throat and I responded well to the meds they put in the IV. Baylor managed to get in and out in under 2 hours and they remembered me from 2 weeks ago. The good news is that there are only 4 common ingredients between the two ice creams that set off the allergic reactions, so I have narrowed down what I need to stay away from and not eat. The bad news is all 4 are pretty common ingredients in lots of foods.
