I don't like a lot of foods other people like.
It's not something I can help.
You're killing me, Emma. <:feels:280645240572870656>
I was born allergic to nearly everything. I lost nearly all of the allergies but I couldn't get rid of psychological conditioning of being afraid of the foods that made me the most sick.
I was a nightmare to feed when I was very little. Normal breast milk? Allergic. Cow milk? Allergic. Most formulas? Allergic.
I had to be fed with soy milk.
so milk in general ecept soy milk
except*
i am allergic to colognes
Allergies constantly annoy me, it's something I've had to learn to live with. <:feels:280645240572870656>
and some kind perfumes
Most bred gave me an allergic reaction to so most bread-like things still make me feel sick. I won't finish the crusts on pizza and won't eat it at all if it's too doughy.
that sucks
I'm lucky I don't seem to have any food allergies anymore. But I still have the instinctive reactions. My mind expects the allergic reactions so tries to get rid of what I just tried to eat.
It doesn't care, or understand, that that doesn't happen to me anymore.
And changing what your brain does as a reflex.... isn't easy.
And I don't see how this is really worth trying.
the brain is an interesting instrument
godmorning everyone
It's actually remarkable that my brain developed that defense mechanism. Had I not lost the allergies, that reflex would regularly save my life.
I guess it's because it happened so early, when the mind was way more flexible because it was underdeveloped.
wish i couldd just get over my lactose intolerancy
mhmm and the younger you are the less the developed the mind is
Don't as me how they went away. I don't know how, just that they did.
loooooooooool
you can grow out of allergies
and develop new ones
Yes but I was allergic to litterally amost any food you could imagine. If it was editble, I was probably allergic to it.
sounds like my mom tbh
shes allergic to everything
The doctors know why that happened.
but its like mild allergies
Lol
My birth mom was a naughty girl and was doing a lot of drugs while carrying me. I'm lucky that's all I got.
o wow
ya it couldve got worse
for some reason im allergic to pantene shampoo and conditioner
She completely denies it, of course.
well duh she doesnt want her kid to know that she did drugs
That's why she lost custody.
