...AND IT BEGINS TO PAY OFF

Since the last time I blogged I kept on up-dosing. Since I up-doseded to 4 peanuts I ate Entenmann's every day because when I got to 4 peanuts I am able to eat 'made in a pacility with peanuts' things. Wait, is it facility?

Here are some of my pictures of up-doses before I was at 4 peanuts. I should not have been smiling yet because I didn't have Entenmann's yet.
                            I will crush you!

But one time when I was dosing at home I choked during dosing by swallowing water the wrong way. Some of the peanuts came back up and to my throat again. For lots of hours after that I was congested afterwards. Since I wasn't congested before dosing my mom called the doctor and the doctor said to get the medicines. Buranel and zircatol?  (My mom said it's actually Benadryl and orapred.) The doctor said it's possible I was having a reaction since the peanuts ended up being in my throat twice- going down and coming back up, instead of just once.

But I will never give up. So here's a video of me saying I can defy gravity in OIT.

So then the following up-dose I only up-dosed half a peanut instead of a full one and I was okay with it because I was still going up to 4 peanuts and 4 peanuts means I can have delicious Entimeins.

I look cool, right?

Ewwwwww.

The next day the partying began and I was nervous I was gonna get fat because I was going to eat all the cakes and all the Entimeins and the whole house into my mouth. These pictures are from the next few days.

This is the video of me enjoying my first crumb top donut!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

                                                                                                 

It feels like I waited ten million years for this.

That day after I up-dosed I ate kit-kat for the first time. Thumbs down. Kit kat was terrible.

So the day after that I had a big cone of ice-cream and my silly mom watched me eat it for the whole half hour because she was so happy for me. She was staring at me. We could hear a pin drop. The ice cream cone was good!

And the day after that we went to a market and we bought so many things and a type of ice-cream in a cup. It's called Hagindas. (Mom says it's Hagen Dazs.) And it was delicious! I devoured it. I almost ate the container too.

                                                This is the video of me enjoying the Hagen dazs

My school had an end of year carnival and there was an ice-cream truck. My mom had given me permission that I could eat something from the truck that was made in a facility of peanuts, which I couldn't do any of the other years I was at school, but I was sick of ice-cream because I had too much ice-cream stuff lately, so I had a slush and it was the best slush that I ever had. I got the cherry flavor.

Then the next up-dose I went to which I'm on right now was going up to 5 peanuts and yet I didn't get any more freedom at that point because the only freedom before graduation in OIT is at 4 peanuts where I could eat the pacility of peanuts. (Mom says it's facility.)

Before I went to up-dose I saw packing peanuts and since my mom called them peanuts, I pretended to dose with them.

I think you'll taste better than peanuts.

I was happy I updosed to 5 peanuts because 5 is my lucky number.

Just 5 or 6 more up-doses to go until graduation!

Hope you have a good summer. Thanks for your support.

See you soon. Bye.

PEANUTS, REESE'S PIECES, PEANUT MNMs, PEANUT BUTTER.... SO MANY

It's been a while since I blogged so here's a huge blog. I hope you read it.
I now have soooo many options on what I want to dose with...

1. Peanuts in a shell
2. Reese's pieces
3. Peanut MNMs
4. Peanut butter

You are only allowed to change peanut forms and get choices at the doctor's office because your body might not like changing forms and in case you get a reaction you're at the office. You're allowed to do that form at home if you already did that form at the doctor's office. The doctor tells you the right amount for dosing.

The first thing I tried after peanuts was Reese's Pieces. I ate one Reese's Pieces. I HATED it and I was NOT going to eat more because I would have had to eaten eight of them! So I dosed that day by eating 1 Reese's Pieces and peanuts equivalent to 7 Reese's Pieces.

I really don't like Reese's Pieces.

Here's the video of me trying Reese's 

The next up-dose after Reese's Pieces I ate MNMs. That time I DID eat it because there was only three but I almost puked from the taste.

Please say I look cool. My shirt says first
you should dream it, then believe it, then achieve it.
I'm about to try MNMs!

Hoping I like it, like it, like it, like it.

I look really cute trying not to throw up.

Here's the video of me eating MNMs. It was cut short because we thought I was gonna puke but I didn't and mom put her hands under my mouth so I could puke on her.

I managed to keep it down and wrote in my journal. I can't say all of it so here's the picture. The title is OIT is awsome.

Those MNMs in the pictures said it, "Get 'em boys!" I said I hated MNMs so much I would never try them again, but I decided to eat them to try to get used to the taste of MNMs.

The 2nd sentence says that I don't like the flavor of MNMs and that is true.
But I am going to get used to them because I tried them a lot of times and
I'm also going to try them tomorrow because I want to beat those
crazy MNMs- except for those two mnms in the picture up there because they are nice.

When I was eating it at home for the first time my brother taught me how to not make it taste so bad by holding my nose. 

That's me and my brother holding my nose.

Now when I eat MNMs. It's between good and bad. Between thumbs up diagonal and thumbs down diagonal . So it's a sideways thumb.

After that my mom talked to the doctor and asked if I can go to a circus even if there are nuts all over the place and the doctor said that I'm not up to the point yet where I could have peanuts all around me. And then my mom called the circus and they said they don't sell peanuts anymore! Maybe it's because they got rid of the elephants or maybe it's because of allergies, so I went to the circus on exactly the last day they were open ever in a total of 146 years! And now they are closed forever.

In the circus I really wanted popcorn and it was safe and there was no peanuts or peanut oil in it.

There is popcorn in that tiger bag

So I saw lions and tigers in the show and it was really cool. I wouldn't have been able to see them if they were still selling shelled peanuts. But after I finish OIT I'll be able to go to places even if they are MADE OUT OF shelled peanuts.

Last Thursday it was time for peanut butter. And the taste turned out like every other form besides for liquid (I loved liquid) and it was a thumb sideways at start. 

About to try peanut butter

Trying peanut butter

Here's the video of me of me eating peanut butter. Very slowly. So my mom didn't record the whole thing. I thought it smelled bad.

When I ate it, it tasted between good and bad but it burned my throat. (Now I know I need to drink more water. Either one huge cup the way I did yesterday, or two smaller cups.) And that night I got lots of hives. It makes me shiver just saying the word 'hives'. My parents had to call the doctor and the doctor said to give me medicine and to down-dose a bit for the next few days. They made me down-dose half a peanut lower and since then it's been going well. I'll probably be able to go back up in two days.

This video is me singing the song if you ever get knocked down, 

you should get back up so you never get kept back down.

Getting hives happened once before so I had to down-dose then too. I took it a little slower then and now I'm way past that! And the key to succeeding is to work hard and don't give up.

Don't give up!

Thanks for your support. See you soon. Bye!

TIME FOR PEANUTS

My last capsule updose was very exciting because I got to get rid of all those crazy capsules that I don't like.

This is me walking into the building. My shirt and

inside me match because I refuse to lose and that is

what my shirt says.

I don't like the smell and I also don't like the taste.

We ordered a bag of peanuts from amazon and last Sunday I opened the box of peanuts and literally broke the box in pieces and then started booing the peanuts.

I'm about to punch them in the face!

And a few days later I got to start peanuts! Unfortunately they taste bad but not as bad as the capsule. I wish that I could eat the shell instead because it looks better than the inside. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to try the shell.

When I updosed from liquid to capsule I switched forms but stayed on the same milligrams, but when I updosed from capsule to peanuts I switched forms and went down a little so my body can get used to the new form.

So I ate half of a peanut!!!!!!!!

peanut- here I come!

And I CRUSHED it!!!!!!!!

eat eat eat eat eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day after day after day!!!!!!!!!

Thursday was the first time I ate peanut since over six years ago when I ate two goobers and it gave me a anaphylactic reaction. But now I ate the peanut and NOTHING happened!

So I have ten more updoses and after that I have to wait another month for my food challenge of 24 peanuts and after that I'll be able to have ice cream type stuff and cake and all bakery type stuff and peanut type stuff etc. I can't wait for my freedom to eat whatever I want and not having to worry as much.

Bye everybody. Thanks for your support. Sorry I didn't do any jokes. See you soon.

BACK ON TRACK BABY!!!

I'm STILL on capsules because I was delayed two weeks.

My first two capsules up-doses went well.

I'm holding my nose because the dose smells really bad. (It still does.)

My shirt says CRUSHING IT DAILY!

 But then I had to skip a week and then I got strep the week after.

The first week I didn't updose because I had a mini reaction after my 3rd capsule updose.

My shirt says NEVER BACK DOWN. I look cool, right?

But this is the up-dose that gave me problems for too many days.

On the car ride home I swallowed wrong and that lasted for like three quarters of the car ride. I was trying to clear my throat a lot. When we got home, there were spots and bumps on my arms, stomach and back. It did not bother me. My parents called the Doctor Selter. He said to keep watching me and make sure my breathing was okay. But I really felt fine that whole time. But that night I slept in my mom's bed. I was fine!

But each time I tried dosing with that dose my body had a little problem with it. We decided to not to up-dose so my body could get used to that dose.

I had a few days of dosing that were actually fine, but theeeeen the week after I got strep which made me not able to up-dose.

I'm at the doctor to get anti-biotics for strep. I also am taking probiotics now.

Aaaand for two days I did not dose at all and then the day after I dosed what I dosed two weeks earlier dose and then the day after that I dosed the one week earlier dose and then the day after that I went back to my regular dose.

On Wednesday, after skipping two days of dosing anything, I was perfectly fine for dosing for the first time in two and a half days!  I was excited and nervous before I dosed again. That's called
"excervous"- that's excited and nervous put together. I was excited because I was dosing again. I was nervous because that was the first time in almost three days. But my body stayed on track and was STRONG! It beat those stupid crazy peanuts!

Back on track baby!

After five days I'm back on my regular dose.

I really really really want to up-dose this Thursday because I want to finish capsules because the taste is bad and it takes like seven whole minutes.

Check out those OIT sentences from a few weeks ago in my school-work.

And like three weeks ago we ordered a box of a bag of peanuts and we STILL did not open it.

In this picture- we are about to order the peanuts. Augh!!!

If I updoseded the last two weeks, I'd be on peanut right now. Awww man.

But it's not how you start- it's how you finish. That means if it's a bumpy ride, that doesn't matter, the destination is what matters!

Bye see you soon. Thanks for your support citizens of the world!

STARTING CAPSULE

So yesterday I started capsules. I am still on 100mg but I changeded forms. Dun dun dun (I say that like a scary dun dun dun). I was really surprised when I was about to eat the capsule because I was changing forms. I don't know why I was surprised since I knew I was changing form, but I just was.

I was really surprised. See my shirt- it says 'I will never give up' and has a peanut on it.

Even though I was surprised I was switching forms I was trying to crush it and get past it!

Peanut- I am going to crush you!

So you get either apple sauce or pudding. And if you have applesauce you fill a spoon with applesauce and if you have pudding you fill the spoon with pudding. And then you open the white thing- the capsule, and the peanut sugar falls on to the spoon. In order to open it you need to turn it a little while pulling. And it smells really bad!

It smells really bad! P.U!

And then you eat it in one bite. And then you eat the rest in case any fell off of the spoon and you save some water to drink when you're done with the applesauce or pudding. The water washes it down.

I'm about to eat it!

Yesterday it was a tiny good but today the taste is much worse. And I wish I had pudding because I'm forced to have apple sauce because I'm out of chocolate pudding. We have vanilla pudding in the house but it's better with chocolate pudding.

But even if you eat it in pudding you should still have applesauce afterwards so you won't get a stomach ache. Applesauce helps make you not get a stomach ache.

Next week I'm going to go to 175 milligrams! And that will be awesomely cool.

I am on capsules for four weeks until I go to actual peanuts. It's four weeks if all goes well like if I don't get sick or if the weather is good. But eating peanuts should be much easier than eating peanut flour cause you just have to chew it and swallow it.

Watch the video of me eating peanut flour for the first time.

Thanks for your support. See you soon. Bye.
