Module 2 exercise 1, page 20 speaker 1 my husband took me to an East Asian restaurant for my birthday this year as I'm wheat intolerant and their cuisine use very little wheat.0:00
I even managed to order noodles because they were made from rice.0:18
The evening was great, we ate so much.0:22
However, the next morning I woke up feeling a little ill and when I looked in the mirror a bad skin rash had developed on my face.0:26
I couldn't believe it.0:33
We had only eaten vegetables and wheat free noodles.0:35
I went to the doctor to ask his advice and to my surprise he informed me that soy sauce contains wheat.0:38
That dark liquid that is used for seasoning contains wheat.0:45
I couldn't believe it and yes, I'd used it on my meal that night.0:49
I now take a book listing foods containing wheat wherever I go.0:54
Speaker 2 It really annoys me that I'm allergic to dairy products.0:59
It's astonishing the number of things I can't eat.1:05
I didn't realise it myself until I was told I had a dairy intolerance and had to research it.1:08
My friends find it difficult to believe too.1:15
They always have to phone me before they have me to dinner to check if the ingredients are okay.1:18
People are very kind and accommodating, but I still managed to have a mishap.1:23
Once I was visiting my aunt and she had bought some soya milk so I could have some tea with her and my cousin.1:28
We sat around drinking and talking for ages.1:35
However, after about an hour I began to feel really nauseous and I seemed to be showing signs of my allergy.1:38
It turned out that my aunt had accidentally put normal milk in my tea and and soya milk in my cousin's.1:46
She felt awful, poor thing.1:52
Speaker 3 I discovered that I was allergic to shellfish when I was a young boy.1:56
My mother loves to eat prawns and when I was five I apparently decided to try some.2:03
Shortly after, I started to have trouble breathing and had to be rushed to hospital.2:09
After that, I stayed well away from any food from the sea.2:14
However, years later I was in a restaurant with my friend and we were sharing a platter of different foods.2:19
I had been eating what I believed to be deep fried onion rings only to find it was squid.2:25
I waited anxiously for my allergic reaction to develop, but to my amazement, it never did.2:31
I visited my doctor and he explained it isn't unheard of for allergies developed in childhood to disappear in adulthood.2:38
I was very happy, although I'm still a little nervous about going out for a seafood meal.2:45
Speaker 4 I suffer from migraines and had a terrible one two weeks ago.2:53
My parents and I had been to Belgium for a long weekend and returned home laden with specialty Belgian chocolates, some for friends and family and, of course, some for ourselves.3:00
One night, my mother and I decided to open a box and indulge while we were watching a film on tv.3:11
They were delicious, and I ate quite a few.3:16
I really loved the ones covered in dark chocolate.3:19
Unfortunately for me, I won't be able to eat it anymore.3:22
I didn't realize it was a common trigger for migraines, and the one that I developed that night was excruciating.3:25
Speaker 5 My friend Anna and I share a common allergy.3:33
Neither of us can eat peanuts.3:40
Other nuts, Brazil nuts, walnuts, pistachios, and so on are fine, but if we eat peanuts, we have a frightening reaction where our throats tighten and we have difficulty breathing.3:42
I enjoy cooking with Anna, as we both know how careful we have to be.3:54
On one occasion a couple of years back, we visited a mutual friend.3:59
I had eaten crisps from the bowl on the coffee table, and within seconds my throat started to swell.4:03
It was horrible and quite a scary experience for our friend.4:09
She later discovered that although she had been refilling the bowl of crisps throughout the afternoon, her flatmate had at one point filled the bowl with peanuts.4:13
Speaker 6 John had been off collecting wood for the fire and returned with some wild mushrooms.4:24
I was really anxious, but the other guys checked the manual we had and said they were a safe variety to eat.4:33
Plus, John's a chef, so we trusted his judgment.4:40
It was only 10 minutes after eating one that Adam was throwing up violently.4:44
I knew we shouldn't have cooked them.4:50
We had plenty of our own supplies.4:52
