Some allergies you may have from birth, while others appear over time. That's why it's best to get allergy tests at regular intervals. To minimize the chance of getting allergies, I eat only healthy foods. My wife is supportive, so we think through the week's diet every weekend. I love it when my wife decides to make lettuce wraps side dishes; it's unreal delicious. When my friends try these side dishes, they are jealous that my wife can cook so well. Moreover, next month she wants to enroll in cooking classes.

If you've been tested and found that you don't have any allergies to food, it may be non-food. I did the intolerance test through intolerancelab.co.uk very quickly. The results came in a few days by email. I found out that I was allergic to cat and dog hair, which caused some itching on my body. I don't have a cat or a dog at home, but I lived with my boyfriend a few months ago, and he had a Labrador. I already don't know what we will do in the future when we move in together; it seems we have to reach a compromise.

I did mine in NYC, which cost me an hour and a leg. Well, I already knew that I was lactose intolerant. But also turns out I was allergic to a few things that really surprised me, like celery and tuna, which wasn't too obvious to me, of course. At least now I know why I was feeling a bit down after eating a healthy green smoothie.
