I should have known better
I should have known better than to eat it, but I did it anyway and now I am paying for it big time. 
What did I eat? A frozen banana covered in chocloate and almonds. How am I paying for it? HEARTBURN!!! 
Why? Because I am allergic to bananas. I hate being allergic to bananas. I love 
bananas. They are truly yummy goodness. Good for you too. Unless like me you are allergic to them. So I now have to go and eat some tums to calm down the fire in my belly. But I wanted to blog a little first.

But I wanted to blog a little first.It could be worse. If I eat strawberies or pineapple I get fever blisters in my mouth. If I eat watermelon, I go into anafalactic(sp?) shock. That is the stuff where your throat closes up and you can't breathe and your lips turn blue. So NOT my idea of fun.
I did ok on the eating thing today. I had a fudge sicle, but it was fat free. Still raised my sugar about 10 points more than normal, so even though it was fat free, I will avoid them from now on. I do not like when I get a higher than normal sugar. Blue Bunny makes some ice cream that is no sugar added so I am going to see what the nutrition counts are and maybe that can be my cold treat. If not, I will crush some ice and pretend it is something really good instead of boring ice.
I have to be careful about what "diet" products I use. I am allergic to apertame (nutrasweet), sucralose and saccharin. They trigger really super bad migraines. So far I do not seem tohave a problem with the sugar alchols or splenda. I am going to try truvia and see what that is like. I am going to make a glass of tea and put in the free sample of truvia and see what happens. I got the free sample by writing in to the website and asking for a sample. They sent me a coupon too.
Anyway I have to go get some tums now so bye.
Just writing,
Karie
