take a food allergy test
allergy 2 years ago

our friend E has been talking about this and it got me intrigued as almost everytime i eat bread i seem to get indegestion about 10 minutes later not everytime but a lot of times.so if i am allergic to certain foods maybe it would be better to avoid them. im not sure allergy is the correct term maybe it should be an intolarance to certain foods.
