Hi people, I have just about had enough of bland boring food just the same every night, some veg is allowed, little fruit and gluten free a must. I can't find a decent veggie sausage anywhere. Climbing the walls without them! Help?
Thanks I will try a nutritionist, coeliac disease I know about it's an auto immune condition. That doesn't bother me but having oral allergy syndrome does!
When do you get the rashes and with which foods?
Hi, I have some major allergies, have to have gluten free and can't see a break in this? Is there any chance I can have pea protein? Where does it come from, can't have beans and pulses.
Oh you too, how do you add protein and taste to your food?
It must be in the plastic container. It happen to after having drinking Zephyrhills water bottle water. How do I find ot what container is made from?
Yes it is the container! I has the same issue with Fugi water. Anything in a thick plastic bottle
A food diary helps a lot. Make sure you include all ingredients. An example is I can't use regular salt as it has dextrose added to it (caking) and it is made from corn. Also, make note of what… read more

How do you explain to restaurants that you have food allergies and how do you know they listen yo you? I have a selected few restaurants I go to, and when I have to go to a new one I feel like my life is in danger...which it technically is (hehe) seeing as my anaphalaxis has reached a point where I have an epipen with me at all times, and even then I do not have long to get to a doctor...just wondering how everyone else copes with restaurants and take away places...
I'm in the US & it may be different for you in S.A. When i go out to eat, I assume the restaurant doesn't really care about my food allergies & they assume that if I came to eat their food, I… read more
[Hello! This has been a wonderful place to lurk in the past couple of days. So glad to have found this site!!]
I have loads of food allergies, and many of them I will have reactions to just being in the same room with them. So on top of the added stress to being out in public or eating out, is the stress of finding a job. Both my mother and sister have held a few local jobs here, and all of them have had break rooms where people brought in major allergens. One of them was a Kmart, where… read more
