New potatoes

Posted in Sunday Times Columns at 10:51 pm by Sarah

I have hives. Just a few. But they are really annoying. I do tend to get a few every summer I think for a week or so. I tend to blame new potatoes and so try to avoid them but I thought at this stage they’d be alright to eat. But then I never knew if my body settled down or the new potatoes settled down. Maybe I just have to dig in early in the season and wait to adjust rather than hoping that the later new potatoes don’t have whatever it is that my body doesn’t like.
Or maybe its not the new potaotes at all. Other dietary changes this week were:
- my dad’s blackcurrants – had some every day (picked earlier and frozen)
- my dad’s lettuce – had it twice.

I maybe allergic to my father’s food. It is a perfect hysteria related symptom.

hmmmm.

    Most skin conditions, including hives, respond very well to hypnotherapy. Isn’t that wierd?
