Connecting the Dots

I am still learning, still changing, still goofing up.

On Tuesday I ate DOTS...
you know, the real chewy fruity, gum drop thingies.

They were sweet.


Such deception.

They are not my friends.

They are made by Tootsie Roll and
as with so many other foods,
they are made with the same machinery as the other candies with milk.
I am finding that I must be very sensitive
to even trace amounts of milk.

Wednesday I woke with a slightly swollen lip.
Just slight on the inside that nobody would even notice .
I did.
Other then that, yesterday there was not anything else.
Then Wednesday night and Thursday morning my chin.
Oh, my chin.
Itchy, swollen & stiff.
So I am really finding that I have to watch everything.
Even though it may not have milk in the ingredient list but....
the other candies in the bag did.
I am not saying that just from being in the same bag,
but that all of them were made in the same place.

So, yes I am still having issues.
