I know, I know. Bad move. But nothing happened after. So, was I just lucky or maybe my trigger(s) weren't included in that meal. I know coffee is a big trigger and I used to drink it everyday, so would it be safe to start testing certain foods (like dairy) again?

Hey Andrew!
I used to live in Fairfax. I was raised in Arlington, then moved to Falls Church when I worked in McLean. I also worke in Reston when they first started building. At the time, the Executive Offices were in a mobil home, and the fields were full of cows, if you can believe it. I worked for RES (Robert E. Simon), the founder, thus the name RESton. It was a hundred years ago.
Enough of that.
Congrats on the burger! And fries TOO? I'm amazed you can tolerate all that fat! It would SOOOO trigger an attack for me! (Although I can tolerate a burger now, and in fact, I have them often.  )
As for dairy, there's NO WAY I could go near the stuff! I tried the Slow-Churned Ice Cream, taking two Lactaids beforehand, and I was okay -- once. But the next time, my gut exploded.
If you can do without dairy and substitute soy instead, you're really much better off. I confess, I do use real American cheese on my burgers, but only ONE slice, and not every day. Otherwise, it's soy "ice cream" and soy "milk" for me.
Crave pizza? Buy the soy shredded mozzarella and take it to your fave pizza parlor; they'll oblige you, and in fact some even reduce the cost of your pizza accordingly. It's fabulous, and you can't really tell it's not real dairy.
Good luck!

Oooh...be careful. Sometimes nothing happens until the next day. Though if you can handle that I'm jealous. Real fries? Oh, I miss them so.

Oh wow. You were practically a neighbor, except that I moved here from L.A. about 8 months ago. The Reston story is very interesting. The first (or one of the first) planned communities in the world, I think. I've actually got my eye on Lake Anne when I go to buy a place next year or so.
So, yes, back to the burger. Well, I think part of it was that I went to a place that cooks everything with healthfully. Organic, olive oil, fresh, not frozen ingredients and so on. I know it's risky, so I won't play with that kind of fire often. The funny thing is that I've practically become a vegan, so that was a serious cheat.
I've been behaving since, but oddly enough, I had a moderate attack today out of nowhere. It happened after lunch, so I know it wasn't the fruit I had for breakfast. I had a variety of non-dairy, veggie dishes from the cafeteria, but I've always questioned what they are all cooked in, so maybe that had something to do with it. Or perhaps it was the onions with the green beans or something along those lines. I had onions the other night with no problems. Argh! The fun never ends.
