Yep.  But I had no idea that I had an egg allergy until recently.  I've
never made the connection to my getting sick and eggs except that when I got
violently ill around Thanksiving, the eggs tasted funny to me.  So I thought
it was food poisoning.  But then when I had the same reaction a week later
to eggs, a light bulb went off in my head.  And now I know for sure.

The Dr. said the elevated phosphorous is nothing to worry about and the
liver thing probably isn't either, although I'm going for an ultrasound on
Monday to make sure.  He said fatty liver is common in diabetics and that's
probably all that it is.  There is no treatment for that, nor does it
require treatment.  If that's what it is.

madness of usenet:

um, everyone has always stated that egg allergies are a very real
possibility with those complaining they get sick (catch the flu) from
the flu shot.

Good luck sorting out the rest.

I got my labs back from the Naturopath today.  I have a severe egg allergy!
So for all of you who said I couldn't possibly have gotten sick from the flu
shot, now we know why!  The shot was making me sick because of the egg.  I
am also allergic to dairy and almonds, but to a lesser degree.  Now I must
find new foods to eat, especially for breakfast.  I had stopped eating eggs
around Thanksgiving because the last 4 times I ate them, I became violently
ill.  Why 4 times?  Because the first 2 times I really thought it was food
poisoning from some egg salad I bought.

My normal breakfast had been eggs and more recently cottage cheese.  The Dr.
said I might be able to tolerate goat's milk cheese.  I think I'll wait a
while before trying that.  I tried the goat's milk cheese with Angela and
she got sick from it.

I am going to have a problem finding sources of protein now.  I really don't
like most meat.  I do sometimes eat sausage or bacon, but I wouldn't want to
eat this every day.  The only other meat I can really tolerate is ground
beef.  I despise fish and shellfish with the exception of occasional tuna.
I do like peanut butter, but I wouldn't want that every day either.  *sigh*

Now for the bad stuff.  My phosphorous was elevated.  It was 5.1 with normal
range being 2.5-4.9.  And two liver enzymes elevated.  ALT (GPT) was 86 with
a normal range of 24-65, and AST (GOT) was 39 with a normal range of 12-37.
The Dr. has no clue what all this means.  But he doesn't think it's good.  I
see my GP on Monday.  Perhaps he can make something of all this.  The
Naturopath is also consulting with a retired Dr. who is a long time friend
of my family on Wednesday.  So hopefully it will all get sorted out.  At any
rate, these findings would explain why I have felt so rotten these past
months and my well explain why my BG has shot up higher despite my attempts
to bring it down.
