Weird itching from cheating!
Last night I had about 4 Godiva Dark Chocolates after my nice LC dinner (TOM, you know!) and I started itching about 5 minutes later. The itching is at my bikini line---nowhere else. There were no visible "hives" or rash, except redness where I rubbed. There are also no other reasons why I would itch there---no shaving, waxing, no new clothing or detergent.
It still itches slightly this a.m. But the really weird thing is that this has been happening in the last month or so when I have a cheat. Not always, so I'm not sure what I may have developed an allergy to, but it's definitely after a cheat. If I were gaining weight, I would say it's itching because the skin is stretching, but my weight is stable within 4 lbs.--a normal fluctuation for me.
I purposely avoided the chocolates with coconut in them since I know that I have developed an allergy to coconut. And I don't think it is just because they were in the same box. I remember it happened at my sister's last month (and I was not near any coconut) and I remarked on it. That might have been after pasta, not sure. It may have happened a lot there since I was eating carbs the whole trip.
Has anyone ever heard of an allergy that behaves that way? I'll have to write down what I've eaten in my journal that i use for measuring myself monthly. If I remember. Thoughts, anyone? Thanks.
