The Beginning

Mary Gibbons Opatz feeling heartbroken.
Apparently, I am allergic to wheat, eggs, milk, soy, peanuts, corn, shrimp and other things. Sigh. Goodbye food, it's been a good run. Please feel free to send me any recipes made with rice, broccoli, and cardboard.

Diane Vasquez You can do it ! Internet is a great help.
Your family might not like the change in the daily menu though.
Get them "on board" with you. Hugs ❤️
Margaret Weisbrod I have a good recipe for ice cubes.
Lily Vasquez Look at Indian and Asian recipes
Tammy Opatz So sorry, Mary! On the bright side you have your own partial aisle at the grocery store!
Katrina Anderson They have veggie based noodles and such. There'd have to be a list to cross reference with what you can have since that seems the shorter list. Also I'd look into seeing a nutritionist for help.
Cindy Blesener Maybe you just need to move back to Minnesota! Miss you!
Preston Torre What else is there to eat???????
Katy Cecilia Opatz Gluten free labeling is your new best friend. Most of it is rice based alternitves.
Katy Cecilia Opatz Bananas can replace eggs in almost all baked goods
Mary Vasquez I'm told ground flax seeds (flax meal) works for egg replacement, too.
Colleen Hecklinger I'd go for a second opinion!
Jack Gibbons Spaghetti squash... lots of great meals with that..
Jim Elliott Yep! Some great recipes there!

Amy DeLuca Thought I was the only one in the family that had food allergies to everything
Pam Gauger Schweisthal How does that happen
Veronica Irivne Shell fish I cant have at all it miss up my chest, lungs, hives cover all though my body please be careful face wash, face lotion carry stuff to, if you have pets you need to read everything you give them. I dont go out to eat ,if they deep fired anyth...See More
Jim Elliott I'll have Maggie send you some good vegan recipes. I never thought I could possibly go vegan .... But after watching cook all her fabulously delicious foods, I've reconsidered. Don't despair! It is not the end of the world. I even made her vegan bacon last year from mushrooms... Believe it or not, you'd be hard pressed to tell it from real bacon.
Jim Elliott I retread your post... Are you good with chicken and meat? The labels on foods has gotten way better for dealing with allergens..... Going can be a challenge with going out for dinner but my experience with non gluten vegans has been that it isn't impossible. Good luck! (Also.. I agree with the previous post about getting ak second opinion...)
Susan Wile Jackson Sounds very "paleo diet" Check it out. Went on it for 30 days. I felt great. Only missed the wine.
Mary Gibbons Opatz Thanks for all of the comments and advice, everyone. I will be scheduled to see an allergy specialist soon. The past few days have already been filled with some hits and misses, but, just so you know, rice krispie bars made with sunflower butter instead of peanut butter is very tasty!
Margaret Weisbrod How did you figure it out?
Mary Gibbons Opatz Well, for the rice krispie bars, we used sunflower butter.  For the allergies, I have been tested multiple times in the past few years for both environmental and chemical allergies, but treatments haven't worked, so this is the first time I was tested for food allergies, as well.
Margaret Weisbrod Were you feeling crappy? Hope it goes well.
Mary Gibbons Opatz Margaret Weisbrod Yes, I have had a full body rash for over four years, along with not feeling well. Hopefully this works. I will pretty much give up eating anything at this point.
