There was that internal bleeding discovered last year around the time she was filming Employee of the Month; doctors found the presence of the little bugger thought to cause ulcers. Recently, Simpson tells me, after she was still feeling not quite right, an allergist delivered news that would chill the heart of anyone reared on Texan cuisine: She's allergic to cheese. And wheat. Oh, and tomatoes...Cheese and tomatoes and wheat? Yes, Jessica Simpson has ulcers, and pizza gives her internal bleeding. —MEGHANN MARCO

]]>I have a severe reaction to anything with tomatoes resulting ing violent vomiting. She has my sympathy
]]>As an aside, I wonder if anyone has looked at GMO foods as possible contributors to the worsening problems people have with allergies/intolerances.
]]>In order for the "allergy" statement to be true, I assume that she has Celiac disease (wheat allergy like Keter has), because other allergies should cause hives and anaphylaxis, like quazwart said and Citron described. However, I don't think people with Celiac have problems with tomatoes and cheese (I think lactose intollerance is a side effect when it is really bad), so it can't be that. I also don't think that celiac causes bleeding ulcers, but I could definitely be wrong there.
Ulcers can also be caused by overuse of aspirin (which would have nothing to do with food).
The only other possibility I see is she has Chron's or Irratible Bowels, but that also doesn't make sense. The Chron's/IB would explain the tomato and cheese as well as the ulcer, but wheat has no effect on either disease.
So either: this reporter is unbelievably bad, I am completely wrong about something, or Jessica has some bizarre combination of Irritable Bowels and Celiac.
Regardless of the answer: the discovery of H.pylori is a great science story that results in a Nobel, I speak from personal experience when I say stomach ulcers are ungodly and anyone who has them deserves credit for not going suicidal, and most importantly - I have spent way too much time analyzing Jessica Simpson and her bowel.
]]>so yeah, if you were on accutane, you ain't never getting zits again, no matter what you smear on your face.
]]>If you're allergic to tomatoes, and eat a tomato, you break out in hives and maybe have trouble breathing. You usually know with in minutes of eating or touching that substance.
Yes, you can have other problems with foods that aren't allergic reactions. A common one is the inability to digest lactose. This isn't an allergy, but ask someone who is lactose intolerant how they feel about 1/2 hour after drinking a glass of milk.

]]>What does that have to do with Pizza Hut?
]]>It's also importnat to note that people's bodies change as they get older. A mild alergy might have such subltle symptoms when you are younger that you don't even notice it. Then when you cross one of those invisible lines when your metabolism shifts gears symptoms can become more significant.

This story is BS.
]]>
Whatever.
Jessica Simpson gives me ulcers.
So . . . then . . . maybe Jessica Simpson really does love pizza? ?? Fffhh. I don't know.
]]>IANADr., but the grape thing sounds like a yeast issue. Somewhere I recall that yeast starters can be made with grapes.
