For those of you who left comments about alleriges on this website, and didn't see them show up, you'll be glad to know that I've sorted through them (most of them anyhow) and you should see yours now.

I was out of town for a while and so I slipped behind with comment maintenance!

I'll write up an article about my experience at the hotel when I get some time, it was interesting to see how they managed my gluten-free needs.

The Allergy Details newsletter now has a new format.

Up until now, the newsletter has been going out as a pdf attached to an email.

The content is now on this website, in a special section.

When you sign up for the allergy newsletter, you get a list of articles, a short description of each, and a link to the full article.

Growing up with allergies, both food and environmental was a challenge. Fortunately as a teen I out grew most of my multiple allergies.

Years later, one of my two children has a milk allergy. I started the web site Avoiding Milk Protein first as a way to learn about, and find food that is truly free of dairy. As I went on, I discovered how many foods and products have entered the market for the allergic consumer. I also learned, and shared different strategies for coping with life with an allergic child.

I just received a very helpful but embarrassing comment. It turns out that the article about wheat-free foods you can eat didn't, well it it didn't say much of anything really. It wasn't helpful.

I have just updated it. There is a list of ingredients you can cook with and links to the recipe section.

My apologies to previous visitors who found the article frustrating!

I've been working on my own allergies for a long time, by now I'm on to my third decade of awareness and vigilance.
At first it was a real struggle. When all of your staple foods are supposed to be eliminated from your diet, and you feel lethargic and depressed, it is really hard to think of new things to eat. Somehow I managed to crawl and scrape myself out of that hole for a breath of fresh air ... speaking of fresh air, I discovered that a mold-free and dust-free environment was important too.
