Hi Dave,
RH> But, at least you can eat it. Steve likes corn, and with corn on the
RH> cob season starting soon, there will be lots of temptation. I don't buy
RH> it for myself, tho he says I can, knowing how much he likes it but
DD> I'm sure you've checked but surely there must be something Steve can
DD> take to combat the allergic reaction. My mother waqs allergice to both
DD> strawberries and bananas. Both of which she really liked. For her a
DD> 50mg Benadryl dose blocked the allergic reaction. Hopefully Steve can
DD> find a similar aid.
We do the simple thing--avoidance. A migraine isn't as easy to handle as
an allergic reaction such as a rash or hives. Not eating corn avoids the
migraine and the need for stronger measures. Especially helpful if we're
any place but home and he can't go into a dark room to sleep it off.
RH> doesn't like the migraines it gives him. One night on our recent trip
RH> we boondocked at a Cracker Barrel and went in for supper (usual plan
RH> when boondocking at a CB). Steve ordered a Campfire Meal, which came
RH> with 2 half ears of corn; I forget what I ordered but ended up taking
RH> about half of it, plus Steve's corn (for me, later) to go. Not the best
RH> corn I've ever had, nor the worst.
DD> I'm more likely to have breakfast at Craccker Barrel than lench or
DD> supper. My favourite is Mama's Pancake Breakfast. I liked it even
DD> better when I could get the blackberry topping. Currently they're
DD> offering only peach or apple topping. But the pancakes are good, and
DD> of a generous size. And it's hard to hurt the eggs and meaat. Bv)=
I try to avoid heavy carbs like pancakes or syrup. The one night at a CB
neither of us felt like eating much so the waitress brought out a kid's
menu. We both found something we wanted with small portions that sat
just right.
DD> OTOH - I loke regular corn just fine. Niblets, on the ear, popped,
DD> etc.
RH> Same here. I picked up a bag of Beaver Nuggets at a Buc-ees stop while
RH> on this last trip. They're flavored corn puffs; I got the cinnamon
RH> sugar. Will post my opinion of them when I try them.
DD> We don't have any Buc-ees locations here. But they are being
DD> threatened. As if we don't have plenty other fats food choices.
Tried them last night, won't buy them again. They're sort of a hybrid,
corn nuts and puffed corn--not as dense as corn nuts but denser than
Cheetos or any of the other puffed corn snacks. OK cinnamon taste,
definate sugar. Good for folks who like that kind of stuff but I'll have
something else, thank you.
RH> Agreed, but this thread has some kick to it. Just got back Wed.
RH> afternoon from a 7,200 (+/-) mile trip. For the most part food was
RH> good, some was great, some was meh but that's travel.
Saw ortho dr yesterday as follow up from fall on trip. New x-rays showed
no bone fractures (Utah ER thought possible hairline fracture of elbow)
but stitches to stay in at least another week. Also treated that area &
scraped up knee with menuca honey/copper mix for better healing, back
next week and hopefully stitches will come out.
