Sometimes twice, one serving fresh, one can Tuna. I am now allergic to fish and cannot have ANY. I cannot have any shrimp, ended up in the emergency room getting an epi shot and then a 911 call the next time it happened....when I eat any other fish I get a rash. My Dr is sending me for Mercury tests. -------------- Leslie \"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.\"(Samuel Beckett)

shavondebrown Posts: 340 Joined: 2003/11/26	2004/01/16, 01:13 PM Thanks for this ifo. I have been eating quite a bit. It could be the cause of a very bad acne break out. ============ Quoting from ltroisi: Fish is great 3 times a week...but becareful.

If you eat lobster, avoid it entirely, as it is the highest content. Ask the dr to check that as well. I'll bet it's not the mercury. -------------- "A will finds a way" Ivan Montreal Canada
shavondebrown Posts: 340 Joined: 2003/11/26	2004/01/16, 10:49 PM Speaking of iodine, I did read that some food intolerances could make acne worse? What is your take on this. -------------- It's not what we eat or drink occasionally, but what we consume on a daily basis that determines our ongoing level o health. formerfatguy.com Not sure of author
ltroisi Posts: 764 Joined: 2001/11/06	2004/01/17, 07:38 AM As far as Iodine, most indiiduals think that first. I did too. I take a supplement with Kelp in it and that doesn't bother me. Also I have Jay Robbs Inisol (Iodine) supplement and I put a drop in some water. No reaction. As far as shrimp it can be the unusual type of protein in the shrimp that individuals are intolerant too, not always the iodine. The reason we suspect mercury is because at the early stages I was able to eat canned Tuna (but not the fresh)and canned Salmon. Then one day I got the reaction eating the Tuna from the can. Salmon and canned Tuna are lower in Mercury than the fresh version. I will keep you posted on this one. -------------- Leslie "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again.

shavondebrown Posts: 340 Joined: 2003/11/26	2004/01/17, 06:54 PM I don't understand, why do you suspect mercury if canned had less?? -------------- It's not what we eat or drink occasionally, but what we consume on a daily basis that determines our ongoing level o health. formerfatguy.com Not sure of author
ltroisi Posts: 764 Joined: 2001/11/06	2004/01/19, 07:27 AM Canned Tuna has "less mercury" than fresh. Why ? I am not sure! When I first started reactimg to fish it was only the fresh, then I ate a can of tuna and had the same reaction. I heard that next year they will have to label canned fish for Mercury content. -------------- Leslie \"Life is a succession of moments. To live each one is to succeed.\"
