Solutions, suggestions? Food Sensitivities to the extreme. Hippocrates, often credited as the founder of modern western medicine said 'let food be thy medicine'. In 18 days I have HAD to spend $596.98 on food. Not all of that food was edible as some of it made me ill. A delicate summation of what I can not eat: Sugars, starches, lactose, preservatives, genetically modified foods. http://answers.ankylosing.org/121796/does-anyone-else-have-extreme-food-sensitivities-solutions-suggestions/ Wed, 28 Mar 2012 01:32:30 +0000 Asked by Deverell S.
