<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> My latest attack (took over a week to recover!) happened after a long bout (for me) of no symptoms. And it happened when I only ate boring regular stuff for several days before and after. I seemed to go lactose intolerant, which I now think is typical for me. Here's all I can think of that I did differently: - I took a reactine the day before. I seem to get lots of bowel troubles when my allergies act up, and I've suspected reactine for a while. - I ate about 8 squares of Hershey almond bar. I've suspected I have a problem with a number of Hershey products in the past, but I've never been sure. My reaction started within 10 minutes - is this a strong contender or was the reaction too fast? - I drank less water and more ginger ale, but I've done this in the past without problems. So... anyone have any ideas about Hershey Almond Bar or reactine? Stuart
