question: I am a 57 year old female who lives in central Texas (all of my life).    I had a surgical procedure 1 year ago that removed my gallbladder and corrected a bad para esophageal hernia.   Much relief was given to my digestive system for a couple of months but my stomach remains boated, feeling of quick fill after eating is back with some mild indigestion and sense of tiredness again.    I was sent to an allergist for food allergy testing and the results is very surprising to me.   It shows that I have a strong level allergy to: pork, beef, rice, wheat, corn, melons, pinto beans, pineapple, pears and sweet potatoes; very strong allergy to oranges; and moderate allergy to:peaches, string beans, carrots, fish, egg, cow's milk, brazil nut, and coconuts.    My question is: what do I do to cope with this wide range of allergies?    I know to avoid the strong and strongest ones altogether - but how?   How did I end up with so many allergies now ?
