Mold-Reduction Diets
Avoid the following foods if you are allergic
to mold and fungi which are a form of living plant life with a very wide
distribution. You are not necessarily allergic to these foods, but rather to
the mold products which they may contain. Generally, this diet is temporary
until the allergy immunization injection treatment has conferred sufficient
protection to you; from time to time, these foods may be added to the diet one
at a time to determine if symptoms are thereby produced.

croquette). Prepare hamburgers from freshly ground meat. Fresh meats that are
frozen or fresh meats that are cooked and then frozen are satisfactory. |
