    [RC] Friends Riding Problem - Carolyn Burgess


    Your friends significant other sounds just like my girl friend. When you first posted, I said to myself, "sounds like Audrey", but then you said guy, and I just didn't know if it was the same issue. My girl fiends problem is two fold: food allergies and stress. The stress gets her to a certain point and the food allergies push her over the top. She would always feel like she had to pee and there was almost always a burning sensation. Riding made it worse. She has a problem with sulfites and sodium lauryl sulfate. Sulfites are in wines, and many prepared foods, even salad bars and such. Sodium lauryl sulfate is in everything: soap, shampoo, dish detergent, laundry detergent. It is a known trigger for contact dermititis as well.

    My girl friend had a very hard time finding a doctor to help her with this and she did alot of this on her own. She is also a rider and really worked to find out what her allergies were and how to find alternatives to the items and food that contained these allergens. Good luck,

    Carolyn Burgess
