You never see the cucurbitaceae coming.

So, this blog was supposed to start tomorrow, but nature had other ideas. After a 10-day elimination diet, carefully monitored by my sister, I was meant to start the reintroduction of corn tomorrow. This morning, as I was grabbing food for lunch, however, I grabbed the still-perky remains of a cucumber. I had the cucumber as a late-afternoon snack, and pretty soon the roof of my mouth stated to itch. I might have piled more trouble on by also eating zucchini, which is in the same family. Right now my mouth itches, my throat hurts, my eyeballs itch...I am also having some severe intestinal issues but that might have been the week-old lentil soup with sauerkraut mixed in. I did not see this one coming - it's the whole squash family, as well as melons, so I think eight extra days just got tacked onto the end of my "reintroduction" time.
