About me

Introduction	This is just one woman’s blog about raising a child with food allergies. She is allergic to gluten, eggs, sugar, and garlic. She’s been gluten-free for about a year and I just learned about the other culprits. I decided to start this blog to chronicle the detox of the new foods because it may be helpful to other families, and I appreciate any new recipes and inside info on products so I’m doing my part here. Her food allergies are not life threatening, but for a young child figuring out how to live in this world, and a parent trying to navigate her through it, it still kind of sucks. It sucks that she can describe what the birthday cupcakes at school looked like, but she can’t tell me how they tasted. It sucks that I can’t buy as many foods off-the-shelf as I used to. I’m not here to whine or seek sympathy; I’m just telling my story. You won’t find any medical information, statistics or factoids here, that’s what the professionals are for. I will be providing recipe’s and recommend products I’ve used but I do not receive compensation for these recommendations. I’m just one woman telling my story with humor and honesty, sharing some helpful information.
