I haven't worked out in weeks because my stomach has been a mess. But, I think I figured out that I'm having a severe allergic reaction to pineapple. This started the day after my sister's wedding, when I had some pineapple with breakfast and ended up so nauseous that we couldn't drive home right away, and then it happened again a few days later. I thought it was just a coincidence. But, I had pineapple again Saturday at a family party and ended up leaving right away and throwing up in my car.

I'm going to make an appointment with the allergist I saw a few years ago and see if we can retest for pineapple. I'm so mad. I love pineapple.

My mom said it makes sense that I would be allergic to pineapple because she's allergic to citrus. Makes sense. She does actually have a reaction to fresh pineapple, but it's just hives and sores around her mouth.
