I can make the real kind but actually prefer the "easier" refrigerator cheesecakes. I don't get as sick if I get into them and they don't take as long.

 

[Saucy]

what is it you're allergic to in them?

 

[graciesings]

Well, I'm allergic to milk, wheat, and eggs. But eggs are the only one that I get really sick from eating.

 

[Saucy]

Oh wow I didn't know people could be allergic to eggs. I reckon people can be allergic to anything...like the sun.

 

[graciesings]

Anything with protein in it. The one food to which it's impossible to develop an allergy is rice, because there's hardly any protein in it.

 

[graciesings]

The most common allergy is poison ivy. My grandfather was allergic to nothing - so much so that he could pull poison ivy with his bare hands. Unfortunately I didn't inherit that!

 

[Saucy]

oh so it's a protein thing? I never knew that!

 

[Lord Of The Forest]

I reckon people can be allergic to anything...like the sun.

And there's the other side, too: cold urticaria.

 

[Saucy]

wow that's interesting!

 

[m.a.r.X]

Allergic to foods with proteins?


Wow just wow.

 

[graciesings]

I love researching things like this.

I guess pollen has protein in it?

An allergy is when the body reacts to a protein as if it's a poison. There are a number of other food problems that are intolerances (where the body can't digest a certain sort of particle well.) It's actually impossible to be allergic to lactose or gluten because those are a sugar and a sticky-starch respectively. I hear a lot of people say "gluten allergy" but it's a "gluten intolerance."

 

[Saucy]

yeah the only allergies I get are seasonal allergies (which are killing me right now lol).

 

[graciesings]

Well, and almost all foods have proteins in them. Some have a wider variety of proteins and thus it's harder to get allergic to one of them.

For example, a person with really bad allergies is more likely to have trouble with grain-fed beef than grass-fed, because a mouthful of grass can be a mix of 15 different weeds and a mouthful of corn is a mouthful of corn.

Aww. I guess that's a sign that it's spring... but still miserable!

 

[m.a.r.X]

So, I got an another "ultimatum" to get married (from my dad lol )
I don't know why he keeps doing that even though he knows I won't obey.

 

[MehGuy]

I match you all with Sister Angelica..

Have fun..

 

[graciesings]

Lol including me? that would be a handy way to break the... um, mismatch.

 

[MehGuy]

Lol.. when it comes to you, it's Sister Angelica.. and ME..

 

[graciesings]

Whew! No more fights over how who will raise whose kids. And I can go back to stalking all my favorite guys on the forum!

 

[Saucy]
