01-14-2004: Oh boy the holidays were a real feast, it was really delicious and I have been very very sick of it. I was especially very sick due to the 'little sponge'. After I had taken a tablet (kerutabs) Wednesday and had eaten 4-5 mouthfuls of the dessert, I could start running due to diarrhea... that is if I were able to run. A few hours later I tried it again, but again the same reaction. So at night I went to sleep really sick and nauseous as a dog. I lay there in my bed tossing and turning due to sickness and stomach ache and I just couldn't fall asleep of course. I had already taken domperidon for the nausea, but I was so severely nauseous that it of course didn't do much. So I asked Henk to bring me back downstairs, because I wanted to try the glass-trick from dr. Tisscher. This glass-trick goes as follows:
• fill 5 small glasses with some water (in my case with Danone-water)
• stir with a fork or knife through the food you want to neutralize (in this case my dessert)
• stir with a fork/knife in the water of one of the 5 small glasses
• stir with a fork/knife in an another of the 5 small glasses and keep doing this till you have had all 5 glasses
• drink some water out the glass in which you have stirred last with your fork/knife (which is diluted most) and wait a few seconds
• drink that glass empty and then empty the next glass; going from most diluted till less diluted.

You will feel like an idiot while emptying those glasses, but it works... at least for me it does. My nausea and stomach ache luckily got less and so back upstairs to get some sleep. Before we went downstairs for the glass-trick I had already told Henk that he could threw away the dessert. However, as I woke up the next day I was so stubborn I wanted to try it again, it is just so delicious. I was glad that Henk hadn't thrown it away yet.
So Henk gives me some dessert, I take a bit (mmm delicious) and again a bit and again and again and again (well it just is so heavenly) and what do you think?
No reaction! No stomach ache, no nausea, no diarrhoea... YES!
So I have emptied the whole bowl and it sucked that I had nothing left for Saturday.
However I do have to tell you that those days I also didn't take any kerutabs, so I am not sure why it went so well... due to the glass-trick or no kerutabs???

It seems that I react to organic food. I have less trouble with 'unhealthy' food. Dr. Tisscher has now advised me to eat no organic food anymore, because apparently it contains something I react to. Well, it differs a lot in my purse and I can surely use that with all the financial cuts the Dutch government wants.

04-02-2004: Meanwhile I don't eat organic anymore, because I really react to it. Unfortunately I still have a lot of food allergies and so I don't have much choice what to eat. My "diet" now contains: schnitzel, lamb, ostrich, pigeon, rabbit, salmon and for vegetables: red beets, peas, white beans in tomato-sauce (in a glass, organic and without sugar or additives) and corn... so not much choice. Meanwhile I also react (again) to rice, potatoes, pasta etc. I eat bread (rolls) with smoked beef for example or carobella hazelnut-spread. Considering my reaction to the latest EPD-treatment (February 2003) dr. v. Montfort and I actually don't really dare anymore to try another EPD. Namely since the last EPD I have so much trouble with (the smell of) food. The smell of food is luckily somewhat less, but what if it comes back and even is worse as last time...
Somewhere I want to try a new EPD with the hope that it will work this time and that it will neutralize the effect of the previous EPD, but on the other hand I don't want to because who knows it will even make it worse.
