Every time I eat, I get sick to my stomach. Bloating, cramps, have to run to the bathroom or have constipation. I am allergic/intolerant of a LOT of things: dairy (but not eggs thank goodness!) tomatoes, broccolli, corn, beans, soy, and thyme (the spice). I am starting to wonder if I have a wheat-gluten intolerance also, because after eating bread or pasta I feel tired and sick and just weird all over. I never know what to eat and because I don't eat much and usually get sick whenever I do, I keep losing weight. I've lost 20 pounds since last January-I'm 5'6 and now only 115 lbs. It takes so long to put on weight and is even harder to keep it on. I'm really at a loss as to what to eat. The alternate to dairy is soy, which I'm allergic to, and I'm not sure that if it is gluten-wheat that is making me feel so tired and flu-like and sick all the time, that I'll ever be able to eat ANYTHING ever again.
Do you have a lot of food allergies or intolerances? What alternatives have you found? How are you able to gain weight/keep a healthy weight? HELP!
Allergic to everything?

If I were you I would go to the allergist and get some simple tests done....then you will have some idea if you are really dealing with allergies or if its just sychosymatic.
The tests are really easy and your in the protection of the office so "if" theres any reactions they can help.....but its usually just scratch tests. enough to show results or not but not to give you severe reactions.
They usually take these little tiny tiny like pieces of plastic and those are covered in the product to test. Example Eggs, mold, wheat, dog dander.....and they scratch a little scrape on the arm if it doesnt react your good to go.
Very easy and I think it will help you to really get a handle on what your really dealing with....if it is allergies then you willknow what you need to avoid to feel better and if it isnt you can start to focus on it possibly being IBS symtoms from your anxiety?
Feeling sick and icky can make us feel so tire and sad it can be scary your not alone.
But I would say go get some answers and that I think will be a tremendous help to you.
Good luck

thanks for replying 
i have been to an allergist and found to have actual allergies (like i break out in hives, my lips swell, fun stuff like that!) but also some food intolerances also (where i throw up immediately after ingesting something). for the next two weeks i am doing a trial to see if i'm allergic/intolerant to wheat. it's a total bummer. i miss bagels!
