Right basically over the past year I developed a phobia towards allergic reactions with food. When I first started with this phobia I wasn't too bad the only thing I wouldn't touch was nuts. I seriously have no idea what even set this phobia off. But the past 4 months have been a living hell for me. Back in match I ate a ham and cheese panini at my college, which have me swollen lips a sore throat and some wheezing/breathing problems. Over the following weeks my phobia obviously escalated and I started to cut things out of my diet one by one (through all this I thought I was loosing the plot) I literally stopped eating anything nice at all. Everyday I ate:- my breakfast was toast/a bowl of rice crispies and 2 cups of tea then for my dinner I had plain pasta potatoes broccoli cauliflower and two Yorkshire puddings (I tried to eat a lot because at the first few weeks I felt really ill as it was a shock to my body) for my tea I'd either eat 2 slices of toast, a bowl of rice crispies, beans on toast or scrambled egg and I'd snack on rich tea biscuits through the day if I got hungry. I saw my doctor and he told me there may be an explanation to why I'm thinking I'm allergic to things. (i thought i was going mad!) he referred me to the allergy hospital and told me to carry on eating the things that ive been eating so i did. This got less and less untill I was at the point where is only eat two slices of toast for my breakfast, mashed potatoes and broccoli for my dinner and two slices of toast for my tea because I started to feel ill. When I first went to the doctors back in march I went because I thought I had an eating disorder and the doctor I saw made it clear there was nothing wrong with me, that my BMI was 17.2 and I was fine and that I should try and eat everything despite my fear. Anyway I had my bloods took for my allergy test because the hospital was "too full" to skin test me. Today my tests results have come back and I'm allergic to egg white, milk, cod, wheat, peanuts and soya. I'm really lost at this moment in time I feel like a prisoner in my own body! I haven't been weighed since match and you can literally see all my bones. I'm that frightened now I daren't eat anything! I think that because I've ate broccoli cauliflower and potatoes for that long that my body is going to reject and give me a reaction. I sound stupid I know it's really hard to explain but all I can say is that I'm terrified of food now. I have to wait while Monday to see my doctor, he called me earlier to tell me my test results, no appointment no nothing. What the hell? What am I supposed to do? Bread was possibly the only thing I enjoyed to eat! And no I can't have chocolate or anything. I'm so scared of food it's unreal and now I'm anorexic. My life is over
please someone help me I really don't know what to do anymore and I feel like they aren't taking me seriously. I'm 21 years old and I feel like a prisoner in my own body
