[quote=Anonymous]Asthma, insomnia, acid reflux, IBS-d, moderate back pain, severe environmental allergies

Insomnia (somewhat), acid reflux, IBS, allergies (somewhat) are controlled through diet; when I eat correctly, I'm fine and conversely, I have flare-ups after splurges.  Charges have asked why I'm so careful about what I eat, and I explain that I get very, very sick if I don't eat what I should.  Employers have all been okay with it, as I know how to make healthy food taste good, and by watching me eat everyday (and not seeing me eat anything I shouldn't), their kids eat more healthy food voluntarily.  Asthma is controlled through both diet and exercise.  Back pain just is.  I do take anti-histamines everyday, because between dust, mold, pollens and other things, there's always something around.

It is what it is.  I'm lucky that most of my issues are under control, and I work hard to keep them that way.  I can't eat grains at all anymore, I have to eat a certain amount of protein, too much refined sugar causes problems, too much or too little fiber and I'm in severe pain.  Sometimes I wish I could eat what I want, but such is life.[/quote]
