So, one of the most horrible things that could ever happen to me has happened. I found out I have a food allergy. Now, this isn't just like being allergic to peanuts (although I did discover that I can't eat them) or milk. It is something much, much worse. I discovered that I can't eat any kind of corn or processed sugar. It sucks.
Now, you might be thinking, "well that's not so bad. I mean sure you can't eat corn or have sugar in stuff, but there is still stuff to eat, right?" See, the thing is, sugar and corn is in pretty much everything. Bread, sausage, ketchup, ranch , McDonald's hamburgers. Yeah, that's right, McDonald's they use corn syrup and sugar in there patties. Then they have th audacity to also fry their fries in corn oil. It is a good thing I never really liked McDonald's, but eating out is kind of difficult.
But there are are few bright spots in the cloudy sky of my life:
1) I can still have organic sugar or sugar substitute, and they thankfully do make a lot of good things with them.
2) It is possible to find some stuff to eat at restaurants. I have discovered that a lot of places have a list of all of the ingredients that they stick in their food online. So I have been able to go through that and write down all of the stuff I can eat. At some places (not McDonald's) there is actually quite a bit I can eat.
3) You know those 15 pounds you are supposed to gain your first year of college? Yeah, that isn't going to happen to me, because I can't eat anything.
Until I write again, au revoir.
