so, after eating hamburgers for a couple weeks now, i have developed a case of some sort of rash, which by my differential diagnosis must be dermatitis herpeteformis...

i first started to develop this problem in my mid 20s, in the early noughties, and it's not a general thing, some grains don't do it as bad as others, i think possibly barley does it worst

anyhow, due to the horrible EU regulations and bullshit, i chose turkey burger patties for a while due to no beef available that wasn't contaminated with soy

i've found that especially white bread has less of a reaction but the whole grain/wheat protein stuff makes it go off bad

it's lots of fun...

type 2 diabetes

gluten allergy (not celiac, something else)

plays havoc with my brain and the skin and other allergy problems with my metabolism come and go but omg this rash on my elbows and hands is intensely distracting

if it means i can't have hamburger, so be it, i will just eat hamburger sans bun then

for all the lip service they put out these days about caring about minorities, seems to me like people with food allergies matter the least, if the approved food additives list is any indication

feels like i'm being poisoned
