Anyone with no food/drug sensitivities?

Post Reply New Topic

One interesting fact about me is that I don't have any food sensitivities, though I do have a minor problem with red meat, but this isn't something autistic people typically have troubles with. I tried to gluten/diary free diet and it made no difference whatsoever.

I also have an average tolerance to alcohol, caffeine and most medications, other than Ativan. Which again, is one autistic people are normally okay with. And the only time I took it, I was 12 and probably took too much.

I have never had any food sensitivities. I have had foods I disliked but it had nothing to do with sensory issues. I didn't like the smell or the taste or texture. There are foods I won't eat but it has nothing to do with sensory issues, I am just not interested in it. I don't drink alcohol, I can't stand the taste. I can only tolerate very little of it so it might not even be possible for me to get drunk. I never noticed any difference with caffeine when I have had some and only side affects I have dealt with medications were high metabolism, weight gain, seizures, and inability to pee.

No known food sensitivities here, though there's plenty of foods I simply don't like. As for pharmaceuticals, I avoid most of them, but the ones I have taken don't seem to have harmed me.

No food sensitivities.
No common drug sensitivities.
Allergic to one antibiotic that I know of.

I tend to have a lot of drug sensitivities. If it's a rare side effect, I swear, you can just about bet I'll get it. I have bipolar disorder, so I'm on a fair amount of meds. I've had to stop taking many meds if the side effects get too much.

Doctors sometimes make things worse. I was put on a very low dose of lithium, and the doctor didn't think my blood levels needed to be monitored. Enter three weeks of hell. My husband spent most of that time pleading for help while being told he was exaggerating. One day I woke up and couldn't stop vomiting. The ER did one blood test and admitted me immediately for lithium toxicity - I almost needed dialysis.

Now that I think about it, I don't have any physical autism symptoms of autism at all and no physical comorbids, but it seems like everyone else does.

anything with citrus in it like oranges, or anything syrupy sets me off, its like that chalk board scraping sound....in my mouth!

drugs wise, im pretty much fine though....weird
