Cooking for Caleb and Rylynn's Food Allergies

About me

Introduction	I am a stay at home mommy to two wonderful, loving, cheerful children. My son Caleb was officially diagnosed with food allergies right after his first birthday. I exclusively breastfed him and noticed certain foods bothered him so I followed a dairy free and soy free diet until his diagnosis. I then had to exclude eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, and sesame seeds from my diet as well. I nursed him until he was 18 months and I was pregnant with our second child. Rylynn gets rashes from dairy and eggs. She gets fussy and spits up alot after I eat coconut milk/cream, almond milk, and coffee. Having two children with food allergies or sensitivities is hard but has become very manageable. I felt like the world had come to a standstill when I learned how to cook, shop, etc for Caleb's allergies. Today a trip to the store is normally quick and painless.
