Minor Setback

Have been experimenting with food of late - long story, and better post to follow when I am less poisoned - and then went a bit overboard. Read that some people with lactose intolerance/ dairy allergies can eat goat milk and cheese. Have been super stringent about not having anything containing dairy for over a week (have also been cutting out gluten), so I could "test the waters".

Bought a piece of goat cheese yesterday. Ate it today. Felt ill immediately and spent a couple of hours throwing up.

At least I know I'm definitely, unquestionably allergic, and am not "just being fussy".

(In fact, there are three aspects of this - I am trying to question assumptions I have about myself - GOOD. I disregarded my own boundaries - LESS GOOD. At least a tiny bit of this was about being worried about being a picky eater because it puts other people on edge - RIDICULOUS.) Sum total = not fabulous. But at least I know.
