Nickel Allergy?  I was watching Channel 2 news tonight at 5:50 pm and the preview said "Are healthy foods making you sick" and the close up was of a woman preparing a salad (cutting celery and tomatores), also close up of chocolate.

Well I stayed tuned and the segment was on Nickel Allergy.

Should Foods Containing Nickel Be Avoided?
There is disagreement within the medical community as to whether a nickel-sensitive person should avoid dietary nickel. A nickel-restricted diet may be prescribed for highly nickel sensitive people for a few months to see if there is any improvement in symptoms.
In this instance, the foods to avoid include acid foods cooked in stainless steel utensils, baking powder, beans, buckwheat, canned fruits, canned vegetables, cocoa & chocolate, dried fruit, figs, green beans, kale, leeks, legumes, lentils, lettuce, licorice, linseed, millet, nuts, oats, onions, oysters, peas, pineapple, prunes, raspberries, salmon, shellfish, soy powder, spinach, rhubarb, sprouts, sunflower seeds, tea, tomatoes, wheat bran products, and multigrain breads.

Well everything on this list is a culprit of mine.  All my bathroom fixtures are stainless steel, my pots and pans are stainless steel.  

Has this topic been looked into before?  I find it very intersting.

Yes, I think.  I have a crown that was put in, in the late 70s early 80s.  I'll have to ask my dentist.

I have a nickel allergy(found on the  test on my back) and the doc told me to go on a low nickel diet.  I tried for awhile, but with my salicylate sensitive, along with the low histamine diet I think there was like one or two things left to eat.  It was cazy and very frustrating.  So I eat green beans a lot!  It is impossible to avoid everything.

Good for you Lori!
Sounds like you are doing something right!
