I avoid my food allergens: Fish, shellfish and wheat. I rarely eat poultry and never red meat. I also have followed a low FODMAP diet which starts as an elimination diet and you analytically add foods to learn which cause GI distress. I’ve been doing that for 2 1/2 years and I’ve been able to expand my food variety..

I second Aldi! I really like their gluten free products. I find I do SO much better staying away from all those extra preservatives and artificial colorings. It can't be your only grocery store, but I find all kinds of things I can eat there, at great prices as well!

I’m going to add that ALDI doesn’t use artificial colors or preservatives. They have a gluten free section and their foods are clearly marked for allergens. Sprouts is my favorite though. They have entire freezer sections. You have to look for some of them, and I go through the entire store. We just had one open right by my house. I am in Heaven every time I go because it is easy. I get all kinds of things that are “normal” but made for me.

I follow an avoidance diet to the food items I'm allergic to. I rarely eat out and take my own food to family functions.
