At the beginning of my Alpha-gal journey I was very sick. I normally weighed 135 to 140 pounds and I'm about 5'7. I lost 32 pounds in a month and a half. I was eating potatoes and rice. Those were the only two items that I didn't react to because my body was so messed up and in fight mode. With the help of an Alpha-gal savvy doc I used these strategies to gain my health back. I was highly reactive and unfortunately remain highly reactive. However, I have my health back! I live a mammal-free life and happy life. As with Alpha-gal syndrome "what works for me, might not work for thee" applies.
