I was recently diagnosed with allergies to: walnut, pecan, hazelnut, peanut, soy, wheat and tomato. While not all of my allergies will cause anaphylaxis currently, I need to eliminate all of the aforemented items from my diet. Food allergies are unique in that subsequent exposure increases your risk of serious reaction. So, in order to avoid anaphylaxing in the future, I need to eliminate these items now.
There is so little I can eat! I keep thinking of small things like ketchup, salsa and soy sauce. I am really frustrated right now. Above all, though, I am nervous. I''ve always carried epi pens, but now I''m even nervous to eat alone - just in case. Heck, it isn''t even safe for me to drown my sorrows in beer!
Has anyone else been through this?
Do any of you have any good recipes?
Is life worth living without pizza?
