Food Sensitivity? Here’s How to Be Savvy About It.

I remember it vividly. I was sitting in my living room watching (more like binging if I’m honest) something on Netflix and working on a jigsaw puzzle of the Honghe Hani rice terraces in China (they are beautiful and you should Google them). Anyway, all of a sudden my face just turns beet red and feels like it is on fire. Even worse, one side of my face goes completely numb and feels all droopy. I was terrified. I am only 31 years old. I can’t be having a stroke this young, can I? That’s when I remembered other times when something similar happened - that time in the garden in Brooklyn with my sister. The other time in the Hamptons for a friend's birthday. The common denominator? Shellfish. Turns out I am allergic and was just having a particularly bad reaction at this moment. 

Luckily I was OK after taking an antihistamine and holding a frozen bag of peas on my face. However, I knew it could have turned out worse. So I went to a specialist and had a first round of allergy tests (food allergies first, environmental allergies after). Then I received the bill and it was a big NO for me. Why should I have to spend so much to take care of my own well-being? That’s when I learned about Check My Body Health. And let me tell you, if I had known about them before I would have saved a whole lot of money and anxiety of not knowing what was wrong.
