Anywho I found other things to eat and without gluten, dairy, eggs, nuts, soy, and oats managed to make cupcakes, thin mints, and even eat gluten free bread but its been a journey.

When I could not take it anymore and the doctor would not give me any hydrocortazone cream I took him to the ER. He looked like this:
