Adventures with Allergies

About me

Location	Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Introduction	Back in 2011 my eczema was out of my control. As the allergist handed me my long list of positive allergy results I felt like I was going to cry. Starting with the most severe, I cut out some of my most beloved foods and allergens. Even though I spent many nights crying over the computer screen looking for dinner recipes, my eczema was improving. Eventually it was even gone. I had to change my outlook. The earth is full of a rich variety of foods and for as many there are foods you must avoid, there is at least five more you can have, many of which you never thought to combine or try. With the help of many talented people on different websites and blogs and some experienced food-allergic friends, I am amassing a collection of safe recipes free of common, and many uncommon allergens. Follow along with me as this non-cook ventures through the world of food allergies. Only some of my allergens are life-threatening. Please always read food labels to avoid yours.
