I have been diagnosed with chronic urticaria. My doctor advised me to keep a food journal for about 3 months to track the foods that trigger a reaction. Unfortunately, that seems to be 90% of the food at the DFAC. It has become extremely difficult at this point as I not only get hives, but also awful stomach cramps. To say the least, my relationship with food is not the best right now and as a result it's ecoming increasingly hard to "perform at the standard". If I get documentation from my doctor, will I be able to get my BAS?

PS I'm in AIT.

Honestly, if you can't take DFAC food, then you're probably not deployable, and if you're not deployable, you need a medical separation

I’m curious, is it just the food from your current DFAC or did this affect you in Basic Training too?

That, SPC, is a damn good question.

Maybe its the local soap the DFAC washes their dishes with, so try another DFAC to at another post to see if that helps. In the 1980s in Germany one of my soldiers had that problem. We were able to transfer him (contract breech issues) to another Barracks where they purchased a different cleaner.
