Caroline Cray from Boston is living with allergies so severe that she is only able to safely eat two foods.

來自波士頓的卡羅琳-克雷（Caroline Cray）患有嚴重的過敏症，只能安全地食用兩種食物。

And for the first couple of years of my life, had no health issues.

在我生命的最初幾年裡，我的健康沒有任何問題。

When I was two and a half years old, I had a random anaphylactic allergic reaction to crackers with traces of nuts in them.

在我兩歲半的時候，我對含有微量堅果的餅乾產生了過敏反應。

I blew up like a balloon, my throat was closing, I could barely breathe or speak.

我像氣球一樣膨脹起來，喉嚨緊閉，幾乎無法呼吸或說話。

I had that allergic reaction and then it triggered something in me where I had a lot of food intolerances.

我出現了過敏反應，然後引發了我對很多食物的不耐受。

Peanuts, nuts, sesame, mustard, kiwi, seafood, but all of those things were pretty easily managed.

花生、堅果、芝麻、芥末、獼猴桃、海鮮，但所有這些東西都很容易處理。

She adjusted to those allergies and had a normal upbringing.

她適應了這些過敏症，並在正常的環境中長大。

Things started slowly going downhill.

事情開始慢慢走下坡路。

The summer between my senior year of high school and my freshman year at college.

高三和大學一年級之間的那個暑假。

And that is because I was dating somebody who did not respect my allergies.

那是因為我在和一個不尊重我的過敏症的人約會。

So I remember very clearly the first time going out to dinner with him.

所以，我清楚地記得第一次和他出去吃飯的情景。

I ordered food and then told the waiter my whole spiel.

我點了菜，然後向服務員講述了我的整個故事。

And I remember when the waiter walked away, my ex-boyfriend said, oh, I feel like you were being a little bit dramatic there.

我記得服務員走後，我的前男友說，哦，我覺得你有點誇張了。

Like, is it really this severe or do you need to be making this big of a deal of it?

比如說，真的有這麼嚴重嗎，或者你有必要這麼大張旗鼓嗎？

You know, I was 18 years old and at the time I thought I loved him and his words definitely kind of permeated my brain.

當時我 18 歲，我覺得我愛他，他的話深深地印在我的腦海裡。

I started to be more lenient about my allergies for the sake of not wanting him to think I was being dramatic.

為了不讓他覺得我在誇大其詞，我開始對自己的過敏症更加寬容。

This mistake caused an incident at a food truck event.

這個錯誤在一次餐車活動中引發了一起事故。

My ex-boyfriend thinks that I'm being dramatic about my allergies, so I don't wanna make that impression on anybody else.

我的前男友認為我的過敏症太誇張了，所以我不想給別人留下這種印象。

So if I just go with the food truck, the ice cream truck that I know is safe, I'll be fine.

所以，如果我選擇我知道安全的餐車、冰淇淋車，我就不會有事。

I didn't mention my allergies, which was biggest mistake of my life.

我沒有提到我的過敏症，這是我一生中最大的錯誤。

I didn't tell them that I was susceptible to having a reaction from cross-contamination.

我沒有告訴他們我很容易因交叉感染而產生反應。

And so they didn't know to use a new spoon.

是以，他們不知道使用新勺子。

They took one bite of it and I immediately felt what is anaphylaxis.

他們咬了一口，我立刻感覺到了什麼是過敏性休克。

And I remember I got this big sense of like doom and head rush and my vision tunneled and my throat started constricting and my mouth got super itchy.

我記得我有一種末日來臨的感覺，頭很暈，視線變得模糊，喉嚨開始收縮，嘴巴超級癢。

And I turned to my friend and I said, oh my God, I think I'm having an allergic reaction.

我轉過身對朋友說，天哪，我好像過敏了。

I knew that that could have been avoided.

我知道這本來是可以避免的。

And at the end of the day, like it was a decision I made and then things spiraled from there.

說到底，這就像是我做的一個決定，然後事情就從那裡開始螺旋式上升。

Her reactions regularly continued.

她的反應經常持續不斷。

It became clear that I had so many reactions in such a short span of time that my body had spiraled into a state of continued anaphylaxis.

很明顯，我在如此短的時間內出現瞭如此多的反應，以至於我的身體陷入了持續的過敏性休克狀態。

And I was reacting to all the food, but it should go away in a couple of months if I stay on this medication regimen.

我對所有食物都有反應，但如果我堅持用藥，幾個月後應該就會消失。

Spoiler alert, seven and a half years later, it did not go away in a couple of months.

劇透一下，七年半過去了，它並沒有在幾個月內消失。

Caroline was officially diagnosed April of 2018.

卡羅琳於 2018 年 4 月正式確診。

She basically said that I have mass activation, which is a chronic immune condition in which the mass cells or the allergy cells are overreacting and perceiving things in the environment to be pathogens or allergens.

她基本上說我有腫塊活化症，這是一種慢性免疫疾病，腫塊細胞或過敏細胞反應過度，將環境中的東西視為病原體或過敏原。

My mom and I basically started crying as soon as we got the diagnosis.

一得到診斷結果，我和媽媽就哭了起來。

It felt like I was putting this huge burden that was on my shoulders and somebody was lifting it off of me.

那種感覺就像我把壓在肩上的重擔交給了別人，而別人卻把它從我身上卸了下來。

At the same time though, it was extremely depressing because she said there is no cure for this, but there are things we can do to make it better.

但與此同時，這也讓我感到非常沮喪，因為她說這種病是無法治癒的，但我們可以做一些事情來讓病情好轉。

And this is a chronic condition.

這是一種慢性病。

After her diagnosis, she was limited in what she could consume.

確診後，她的飲食受到限制。

And by the beginning of June of 2018, I could only eat oats.

而到了 2018 年 6 月初，我只能吃燕麥。

I was slowly but surely becoming malnourished.

我慢慢地營養不良了。

A doctor suggested she try something unusual.

一位醫生建議她嘗試一些不尋常的方法。

She kind of approached me and she said, okay, this is a weird idea, but let me know if you're open to it.

她找到我說，好吧，這是個奇怪的想法，但如果你願意的話，請告訴我。

And she said, how about baby formula?

她說，嬰兒配方奶粉怎麼樣？

She told me that it contains all the vitamins, minerals, calories, all the nutrients you need to like build a life and to sustain a body.

她告訴我，它含有所有的維生素、礦物質、熱量，以及構建生命和維持身體所需的所有營養物質。

And I said, yes, I would because I'm open to anything at this point.

我說，是的，我會的，因為在這一點上，我對任何事情都持開放態度。

I am at rock bottom.

我的心情跌到了谷底。

They mixed like a little bit of the powder with water, mixed it up.

他們把一點點粉末和水混合在一起，攪拌均勻。

And then I took a couple sips of it and then we waited.

然後我喝了幾口，然後我們就等著。

And you'd think it was like, my God, it was like, you could hear a pin drop.

你會覺得，我的天啊，就像一根針掉在地上的聲音。

Like it was just so much anticipation.

就像期待已久一樣。

And after a few minutes, I was like, I feel fine.

幾分鐘後，我就覺得，我感覺很好。

And they were like, okay, okay.

他們就說，好吧，好吧。

I was able to leave the hospital with a prescription of baby formula.

我帶著嬰兒配方奶粉的處方離開了醫院。

And that is what I have been eating now, oats and formula for five and a half years.

這就是我現在一直在吃的東西，燕麥和配方奶已經吃了五年半。

I'm an easy one.

我是個簡單的人。

I actually have a bunch of food allergies.

Environmental allergens like pet dander, so dogs and cats and honestly anything with hair or fur, mold or dust or anything like that.

環境過敏原，如寵物皮屑、貓狗，以及任何有毛髮或皮毛、黴菌或灰塵之類的東西。

So I still live in my childhood home with my parents because this place has been pet free since it was built.

There are moments where I feel like the girl in the bubble.

有些時候，我覺得自己就像保麗龍中的女孩。

And not gonna lie, seeing the spread of delicious food that my family made was probably the hardest part of the day, but we persevere.

不瞞你說，看到家人做的美味佳餚，可能是今天最難熬的部分，但我們還是堅持了下來。

Loved ones have adjusted to Caroline's needs.

親人已經適應了卡羅琳的需要。

It's definitely a big act of service for me to see people helping me out in that way.
