I found out yesterday that I am intolerant to: Cow's Milk, Egg Whites, Gluten, HFCS, and a whole slew of other things. I am also allergic to all Tree Nuts (If it isn't a Peanut, its a Tree Nut). I need some help navigating through this new world. If you have any great stand by recipes I would really like to see them. (If they are on Pinterest even better)

What is hfcs? I don't have any allergy experience, but I'd do a search for vegan gluten free, I've seen a bunch on pinterest , might give you a good start. Good luck!

@TheSwissWifeStyle: High fructose corn syrup.
I'm so sorry
I might start by checking out some Paleo recipes - they will be focused mostly on veggies, oils, lean protein sources other than cheese and won't have any sugar or grains.

@TheSwissWifeStyle: High Fructose Corn Syrup. Thanks I will look into those!

I feel for you! I am allergic to tree nuts, and have suspected for years a gluten allergy. Going for allergy testing in May. I think there is other things as well. I am on a very restricted diet right now. I was so proud of myself last night for making a gluten free, nut free, vegetarian meal! Salad with pumpkin seeds, rice, tomato soup, and a gluten free/egg free veggie burger! Is there a health store close to where you live? My new fav store is Vita health and they have a row of freezer and a row of dry goods of gluten free, diary free and egg free items.

No specific recipes to recommend, but just about everything we make in our home is free of lactose/milk, gluten, eggs, tree nuts (and peanuts), and corn syrup because of my many food allergies and DH's lactose intolerance and celiac. We eat a lot of Korean food and I think there are also a lot of good cookbooks geared towards families with these allergies/intolerances. They used to be about baking but there are more and more about regular dinner food! Cybele Pascal has a lot of recipes and a book that I think covers all of your needs...hope this helps a little!

Your intolerances sound very similar to my daughter's when she was an infant. You can check out my mspi blog post for links to lots of resources. It is possible to thrive despite these limitations and you'll probably feel really good once you get your allergens out of your system.
-
Ahh. Man they put that stuff in everything, and it's like the worst thing. Good luck @MrsRcCar, so sorry you have to deal with this! @JoJoGir 's suggestion of paleo is a good one too!
-
@JoJoGirl: I have been looking into Paleo because of its other health benefits. I suppose I will be looking more seriously now.
@MrsScottish: There are a couple of Health food stores where I live but they are all pretty small. I live in a pretty small town. However I travel to a bigger city a couple times a month so I could stock up at like a Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. What test are you having done? I just had the ALCAT done, because I have been having all kinds of tummy issues.
@spaniellove: Thanks I will look into this!
@Mrs. Jacks: I will check out your Blog. I am hoping to feel a lot better once all the allergens are out of my system. -
I am going to a natural path and they are doing the blood test... forget what it is called. I have had the prick test done x 3 in my life, and only environmental and nuts come up, even though I have said for years there is something else. I have had reactions to mango, and have major stomach issues.
-
@MrsRcCar: I'm so sorry to hear all of this! Do you like shrimp? I have a great shrimp recipe that has red wine vinegar, garlic and tomato sauce if any of those work for you...
-
Elena's pantry has yummy gluten free recipes!
-
@2PeasinaPod: I LOVE shrimp. I would love the recipe!
@blackbird: I will have to check that out!
I love all the responses I am getting from all of the bees! It is time like these that I am thankful to be part of this group!
-
Yay! If there's anything you can't have in here, just eliminate it! My DH isn't a huge fan of cayenne pepper and we don't miss it!
-3 cloves of minced garlic
-1/3 cup olive oil
-1/4 cup tomato sauce (more if you want to make it a bit more saucy)
-2 Tablespoons of red wine vinegar (I do more b/c I looooove red wine vinegar)
-2 Tablespoons of chopped fresh basil (If I don't have fresh, I use 1/4-1/2 tsp of dried)
-1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1 lb of uncooked, peeled shrimpCombine everything and marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes or more, then bake at 350 for 20 minutes until shrimp are done. If you use cooked shrimp, just marinate and heat on 350 until warm (10 minutes).
We put it over pasta, but given your gluten and egg allergy, rice would work as well! We made this for our friend who also has a tree nut allergy and it's a staple recipe every week for them now!
-
Oh and I forgot to mention that they're great on skewers on the grill as well!
-
I'm so sorry that you're going through this, but I'm glad you know your sensitivities now and you will fee better once the allergens are out of your system. Do you have Kroger where you live? A lot of grocery stores are getting more and more gluten/allergen free items, and the one I go to has a decent selection. If you don't have Kroger, does your local store have a natural foods section?
-
My sister has been Paleo for a while. She just posted a link to a blog from a Paleo cookbook author and some of the recipes sound really good. Here's the link to the blog: http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/

@2PeasinaPod: Thanks for the recipe! It looks yummy.
@evansjamie: The nearest Kroger is about 45-60 minutes away. We have a Meijer but it has an extremely limited selection. I do go into a larger town about twice a month.
@MrsKoala: Thanks for the link to the blog. I will be reveiwing it.
