Only six more weeks to go. It's been a long run, but we're in the home stretch. This is another of the topics that required some thought. "What am I allergic to?" In the generally accepted meaning where eating a given food produces swelling, hives, and rashes; or in the extreme, anaphylaxis, I don't have allergies. Dust can make me sneeze, but I can eat peanuts by the handful.

There is a food that doesn't agree with me, tomatoes. Especially raw tomatoes. But a strange quirk. Cooked tomatoes as in tomato sauce or mixed with herbs for pasta doesn't have quite a strong a reaction. And ketchup has none, although you eat smaller amounts of it.
So while I love pasta and pizza, I have to watch how much I eat because tomatoes, whether raw or cooked, don't agree with me.
It's a hop, so visit the other posts on allergies. ~till next time, Helen
I wonder if tomatoes have a specific type of acid that gets diluted in cooking. It's hard to believe we only have six weeks left in 2018. I missed a lot of topics this year.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it diluted as much as broken down by the heat. The more heat applied in preserving the less affect the tomatoes have on me.
DeleteI have the same reaction to milk. The more processed the milk is, the less it affects me.
