Nuts--Who Knew?

Not my friends...
This food change is truly a living experiment on a daily basis. 
Now that I'm off of wheat, oat, sugar (mostly), soy and cow products, I'm finding out all kinds of things about my body.
For example, I never thought I was allergic to peanuts (used to eat peanut butter by the spoonful). Two nights ago, I dig out an old container of peanut butter, eat a couple of tablespoons--and my face and throat start to itch. Then my scalp, my ears. Then my throat gets congested. I'm thinking, "What the hell?" So I go online--and read about peanut allergies! Thankfully, it's not like an anaphylactic shock-level allergy, but there it was. So, goodbye peanuts.
