#Tomato Allergy

[roboticchibitan]

I'm allergic to tomatoes but you can accomplish a pretty similar umami flavor profile for chili if you use just an absolute fuckton of smoked sweet paprika.

Dang that's crazy also pls don't

PSA: tomatoes are not spicy. Tomatoes and tomato products should not be spicy. Pizza sauce isn’t inherently spicy. Tomato-based pasta sauce is not spicy. Ketchup is NOT spicy.

If tomatoes are spicy, you have an allergy to tomatoes.

This announcement brought to you by my almost 29-year-old husband learning for the first time in his 2.8 decades of putting food products into his mouth that spaghetti and saucy pizza aren’t spicy foods

don't you just love (hate) when youth groups claim they're allergy friendly when in reality the only allergen they care about is nuts and if you have any of kind of allergy then you're just gonna have to deal with it

For my fellow autistic and food sensitive proshippers.

Your f/o will be happy to keep your safe foods in the house, and won’t raise a judgemental eyebrow if you’re selective with ordering food (asking for things to be removed or modified for example) If you want to introduce new things to your diet they will support you but they won't make you feel like you 'failed' if it doesn't work out. Yes, even the ones who are more daring or colourful in their food choices.

They will be perfectly loving towards you as you are, they don’t want you to be different or change to a standard of ‘normalcy.’ They won't mock or shame you or pressure you into eating things that make you gag or feel sick, and will be happy to accommodate your needs because they love you as you are.

They want you to feel safe when eating with them! Food should not be a chore. When you enjoy your comfort foods it makes them smile :)

Also imagine your autistic/food sensitive f/o feeling more comfy with someone who just gets them.

> i order pizza > i write 'no tomato sauce' > last time i did that they put tomato sauce on it anyway > just to make sure, i call the pizzeria to tell them i just ordered a pizza and mention again that it says no tomato sauce > gets pizza > it has tomato sauce

I appreciate how angry you are that people are scamming folx.  Your kind heart made my day.  AND!  You are SO RIGHT that some education is needed here! Taking your advice, I used Google and Google Scholar for this research.

WHAT I LEARNED:

1. The fucked up wellness influencers are often, though not always, neofascist girlies (of all genders) trying to get people with chronic medical problems that are UNDER INVESTIGATED & UNDER TREATED to feel appreciated as a recruitment tactic.  It’s a Problem.  And we all know a fascist Loves a GOOD GRIFT.

2.  The stuff that isn’t about vaginas and shit is actually about stuff that is UNDER INVESTIGATED & UNDER TREATED.  3.  Personal note on the subject of GETTING OUTDOORS AND TOUCH THE GRASS:  Most of the consequences of having under investigated and under treated invisible disabilities like the various types of arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and many others limit how much and what kind of outside time you can do.  How much gardening you can do, for example.  I am in CONSTANT pain that varies in intensity.  My hands sometimes stop working altogether.  Me trying to prune a bush in my garden is not practical.  Me trying to weed my garden, or harvest there isn’t always something I can do.  This year, I couldn’t harvest my radishes in time due to a pain flare, so now i have the most BEAUTIFUL radish flowers!  Enjoying them, too.  So pretty!  So yeah, many of us who need some of the things on your list of scams the wellness influencers were making up really do feel very disconnected from Earth BECAUSE OF OUR INVISIBLE DISABILITIES. 

4.  NOW TO THE GOOGLE LINKS! 4a.  AIP is the AutoImmune Protocol used to identify what is making someone with an autoimmune illness unwell and here is what the CLEVELAND CLINIC (not a ‘fraudster’) says about it. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/aip-diet-autoimmune-protocol-diet/ Autoimmune diseases are horrible and most people tell people who have them that we just want ATTENTION.  No, we just don’t want to die because our body think our body is THE ENEMY.  Quite often the result is INFLAMMATION and CHRONIC PAIN which varies in intensity and location in the body.

4b.  The MAYO CLINIC’s thoughts on those annoying gluten free people (i’m one of them, alas!): https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/celiac-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20352220

4c.  There is clearly some debate among medical researchers about how valid the nightshade allergy might be as an across the board thing: (apologies, that these are behind paywalls)

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10620-023-07955-9 https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-88473-4_3 4d.  LINK TO THE TOMATO ALLERGY SEARCH I JUST DID ON GOOGLE SCHOLAR:  https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C48&q=tomato+allergy&btnG= apparently some people WILL die of eating a tomato, trust me I was surprised, too. 4e.  LINK TO THE DIETARY TRIGGER NIGHTSHADE VEGETABLES SEARCH I JUST DID ON GOOGLE SCHOLAR:  https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C48&q=dietary+trigger+nightshade+vegetables&oq=NIGHTSHADE+VEGETABLE

and nightshades seem to be causing inflammation issues all over the place which is one of the hallmarks of many autoimmune disorders.

5.  ON THE VAG NONSENSE - You’re right that stuff is a scam and it can make your body unhappy if you use them. 

6.  In case you want reliable, experiment and research based understandings of herbs as used in Germany - you can read:  https://shop.elsevier.com/books/the-complete-german-commission-e-monographs/blumenthal/978-0-9655555-0-0

which is THE COMPLETE GERMAN COMMISSION E MONOGRAPHS.  This book relates all the science done on each of 300 herbs commonly used by German herbalists.  Helpful.  Very science.  Much research.  COOL.  7.  LINK TO THE GOOGLE SCHOLAR SEARCH FOR ‘AMERICAN HERBAL MEDICINE RESEARCH’  https://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_ylo=2022&q=american+herbal+medicine+research&hl=en&as_sdt=0,48 8.  FINAL THOUGHTS Hope that helps everybody understand some of the stuff that is REAL that is still being researched and discussed and debated by actual medical experts and researchers.  

I know and deeply appreciate that you didn’t intend to throw disabled people without proper access to doctors who give a shit under the bus.  

Those of us with these oddball autoimmune diseases are overwhelmingly not taken seriously by doctors.  We are objects of intense interest to RESEARCH SCIENTISTS, so if we catch one of THAT SORT’s EYE we are guinea pigs.  

We spend a lot of time on Google Scholar finding everything to do with our WTF is wrong now experiences and then we bring that full ass note book to the doctor, who says 'oh you really want attention don’t you’ and how he knows best and won’t even talk to the authors of the study to see if your situation and the ones they’re investigating are a match.  It’s horrid and common.  ESP FOR WOMEN, and even more so for women of color.  

The wellness industry sprung up at first to serve those of us that the medical people generally don’t take seriously.  And then it morphed into a money grab by icky sorts.  Nothing more horrifying than watching people trying to heal while enduring medical neglect get coopted into weird toxic delusional shit.

i hate you alternative wellness natural chemical free vegan non-GMO herbal intuitive whole foods healing raw high vibrational plant based cleanse gluten free superfood supplement blend bullshit!!!! You're not healthier and more balanced and connected to the Earth because your smoothies are full of unidentifiable green and brown powders you got from a subscription box to ✨URTH-CRUNCH VAGINAL ENLIGHTENMENT✨!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I literally somewhat got an allergic reaction or infection to a unsmooth tomato sauce after I touched it (it wasn’t even open).

I won’t go into detail because it’s gross, I don’t even want to say it either.

[lastoneout]

I really don't mean to brag too much but I truly have figured out how to make the perfect wheat free breakfast.

[bowlofstew]

Had cabbage roll soup for dinner! It was great, as always.

[delcat177]

I thought the onions were chopped up hot dogs. I turned green but I make frankenrecipes that I love very much, so I hit Like.

This is the level of support I offer in the kitchen, I will never say "no", just "no thank you".

Yum yum leftover spaghetti for dinner

Last night I dreamt about going to a buffet and accidentally eating cucumbers (my one food allergy) and then woke up because I was having an asthma attack. I know it’s probably spring pollen in the air but it’s funny that my brain decided to warn me I guess. But also that’s a really boring dream

[cowardlycowboys]

I'm developing a tomato allergy I can feel it I need to eat more tomatos
