I just turned 46 and realized how out of shape I have gotten. I read an article about food allergies inhibiting weight loss. Many of the symptoms described me. When I started taking naps, I knew something wasn't right. I decided to do the blood test to determine if I had food allergies. My intuition said cheese is bad, but I had no idea that it was all of dairy and the eggs. I feel so much better now and am in charge of health!

It was the weight and nap thing for my daughter, too. Tired at 10 a.m.!
Do you ever decide to take a day off from the restrictions, and how long does it take you to recover?

The fatigue (extreme fatigue .... lie-on-couch fatigue) threw me off most.
Tell me about it. A piece of cake or a cup of yogurt and I'm done and over with for days.
I noticed it more after high school because it got worse. I think going to college and working together made me more fatigued, and it didn't matter how much I rested, at well and exercised I found no help. I was completely drained all the time. I get my blood done every 6 months to 1 year. It's always been normal. Sometimes a little anemic, but never enough to warrant taking iron supplements. I take a multivitamin daily as is.
Seeing a chiropractor has seriously changed my life. I also get a massage once a month or so. That along with not eating any more dairy and I'm a changed person. It's amazing. Truly, seriously amazing.
Intolerances to food suck, but allergies to it are horrific. I had already made the correlation that dairy didn't work with me and when I mentioned it to my chiropractor he said all of my symptoms made sense to be a dairy allergy. I wasn't lactose intolerant, just allergic to dairy.

Cake? What about cake with no dairy?
You mentioned iron. Yes, I was eating iron-rich foods and thyroid-jump-starters (like iodine foods), thinking I must be borderline anemic or have borderline hypothyroidism ....
Do you even skip foods like, say, soy cheese that might contain a tiny bit of casein?
I've always been a label-reader, but since I started looking for dairy, I've been amazed at how ubiquitous it is. The substitute cheeses -- where you would expect no dairy -- surprised me a lot!

I try to stay away from all dairy except the hydrolyzed whey I use in protein shakes. I do cheat occasionally if I haven't had dairy in a long time. For example I might get some cheese on an otherwise dairy free sandwich. I never eat more than one dairy item per week. I actually try to not even eat that many dairy substitutes other than soy and almond milk or yogurt. Like I'm sure you've noticed - fake cheese is nothing but just that - fake. No substantial (or healthy) ingredients whatsoever.
Yes, the cake had dairy. And lots of it. It was good but not worth it.

I like cake.
Does one small dairy item a week keep you relatively symptom-free?

Was there anything else besides dairy and eggs?

Make your own cake! There are TONS of yummy dairy free recipes. And remember, eggs aren't dairy. So if its just a dairy allergy, you can have eggs!
And yes, if it's not something crazy. A few slices of cheese a week doesn't hurt me, but a scoop of ice cream a week would.

So other allergic food that were not yet mention can be mustard and soy.
I was tested many time for allergies but I am a freak and do not react to hystamine very much.
But allergies are often out of the blue fast reaction were intolerance build up over time and tend to cause discomfort but life treatening.
For me it was easy. I am not reactive to many food but medication is a different thing. It is faster to name what is safe, strangly penecilline is safe for me. I am very allergic to sulfa antibiotic and sulfite presevatives.
I get dermatie from colors and parfumes.
I will avoid some food at different moment of the day. I avoid starchy food at lunch time as it makes me sleepy even none gluten containing food like rice.

Yes, there are even dairy- and wheat-free cakes at the natural-foods store down the street. Even by the slice. Even with no white sugar (choose local honey or agave). I'm lucky.
So you have better results with aged dairy, like cheese. After a while, I will try that as a challenge, but not yet.
Whew! Lucky I don't care about ice cream (and in fact love that http://coconutbliss.com/ "ice cream."
PS
I was so sure it would be gluten, if anything! I guess because everyone seems to talk about gluten and there are entire aisles at the local NF store devoted to gluten-free foods.
