I have a craving for a Whopper, but the allergic reactions that may be possible eating beef isn’t worth the risk.

Has anyone eaten a real whopper then a bite of the impossible whopper? Could you tell the difference?

Is there an aftertaste of the impossible whopper?

I don’t think Im reactive to cross contamination, but does anyone know if they are made in/on a different surface than the beef burgers? Thanks

I believe I’ve had Alpha-gal for years, but never narrowed it down. Every so often I’d get full body itches, sometime mild to medium anaphylaxis and always GI issues. And until simultaneously the GI issues would be relieved would the most often hour long itching would go away immediately.

After Friday nights porterhouse issue did I put 2 and 2 together. Today I researched Dr.’s I. The area and found a group where the head of the department is doing clinical research. Unfortunately she’s booked until the end of September. But a Dr on her team had an appointment open next Monday which I grabbed.

I’ve been thinking of any questions or responses I may need. But if they are doing clinical research I probably just need to focus on what questions they may have.

So far this year I’ve had at least 5 ticks on me, can’t tell you how long at least 13 hours for 1 of them.

I’ve brought up my symptoms to at least 6 different doctors and not one thought of AGS.

I’d have to believe if I do have AGS, going to the group where the head Doc is Doing active research on it is going to be valuable for me, even though I would be a guinea pig, and just hope they aren’t on a double blind study. I’d rather be on an experimental than a 50/50 chance of some placebo.
