Whole30 Success Story: Allergies
“This has been such an eye opener. I have suffered with allergies all my life and never did I or any doctor I ever went to think, to consider that I had a food allergy. I had been to family doc, allergist, lung specialist, cardiac doc and always the same end result if you would lose weight then you wouldn’t have these issues. But I was to the point where I couldn’t walk down the hallway at work without wheezing, had to stop taking the stairs, had a constant cough, very tired all the time, and horrible muscle cramps to the point I was worried and considered if I should go to the ER for this pain. I felt that I couldn’t exercise so I couldn’t lose weight. I was on several inhalers, nose spray, and a nebulizer. I also got sinus infections often and that would result in antibiotics and prednisone. After doing the Whole30 program i have lost 4-5 belt holes in my belt. I am no longer taking any of the meidcations listed above (b/c I discovered all these medications feed what I’m allergic to) my wheezing is gone (unless I eat bread and if I choose to I now know exactly how my body will react) the cough is the here but a lot more tolerable. I know that If i continue to follow the Whole30 more strictly I can most likely get it to go away as well. I have more energy, muscle cramping is gone for the most part. I feel lik ME again instead of what I had learn to be NORMAL ME. And it has been such a fun journey thanks to Dr. Fawn, the entire Facebook group, and my best friend. This support team and style of program is fabulous and life changing.
