Allergic reaction to all natural or organic foods.?
I need a little help figuring out what the heck I'm allergic to in organic foods. Anytime I eat them I get severe stomach pain within minutes, my throat tightens and begins to itch and burn and ultimately I end up throwing everything up. This has happened 4 times in the past year 1. Had an all organic power bar, throwing up after 5 minutes of ONE bite 2. This time it was a Turkey sandwich on an " all natural" roll3. Had an all natural oatmeal raisin cookie from jamba juice.4. And finally I ate pasta with my gf's family and they used all natural wheat noodles...after immediately getting a swollen throat and throwing up I attempted to assure them it wasn't their cooking, just my body.I'm assuming I have some allergy to the wheat or flour used in these products but I was wondering if anyone out there has a similar problem or knows what it is called so I can plan around it.Some things to note...1. I have not seen a doctor for a food allergy test. Besides also being lactose intolerant I don't have any other food allergies I know of especially to regular flour or white bread because I am a huge bread fan when it's NOT " all natural" .Thanks everybody Hey Seth, I appreciate your answer but unfortunately I'm going to have to disagree with you that the problem is all in my head although I do agree that for some people it can be a real health issue.The reason for this is each time I've had the food items I had no idea they were organic or all natural. Like last night when I had the all natural wheat noodles. I love pasta and eat it all the time with no problem, however after just a few bites I started feeling the itching feeling and then threw my guts up 10 minutes later. It was then I looked in the trash for the box and read " all natural wheat noodles" . Again, thanks for the response

How do people feel about organic foods?
Hello everyone,I'm currently conducting a research project at a state university in FL I'm a college student . At this point in the project I am gathering as much information and maybe even some quotes from organic buyers and non organic buyers. I just want a general statement on how individuals feel towards the topic of purchasing organic foods, all thoughts and statements are welcome, what ever comes to mind. I really appreciate any help. I do understand for some this topic can be controversial, but again all responses are welcome, just as long as it abides with yahoo's guidelines.I also created a survey that takes about 10 minutes and it's about the same topic of organics, some relating to environment, dieting, methods to approach people about these topics, it's a pretty broad survey but it doesn't take much time and it's completely anonymous and there are tons of comment boxes to leave feedback as well, my goal is reach 200 people with the survey, so far I'm at 125, so if these seems of interest, here's the link...survey.constantcontact.com survey a07e3h6p02xgknfobaz startThanks for the help and I can't wait to see the responses....

How can I convince my mom to buy all organic foods?
I DON'T AM NOT OLD ENOUGH TO GET A JOB AND CANNOT PAY FOR MY FOOD, or have a garden. Another restriction of my mom.I asked this question, but most of the answers weren't all too great.I asked her if she could buy our food from an organic market instead. And she said no. It is too expensive. She said " Hm, I'll have to stop buying bananas." How can I get her to buy all organic food?Please don't tell me to listen to my parents or I'm being a and they're right , because I asked the question for my health, which in the future I might have to pay more for if when any damage is done by non organic food, not for people to tell me about this perspective they have that I already knew half the world has.

How can I make healthy, organic food choices?

I do think I make healthy food choices don't drink soda, eat lots of fruit and vegetables, eat whole wheat bread but I'm looking to do more after watching this film. Please note, I'm not interested in weight loss tips, I'm just trying to see what kinds of tips suggestions everyone has concerning food. Also, I live in a city of about 40,000 residents with one Wal Mart, so I don't really have a lot of options
