You are on the right track for sure. I like your description of “hunt and peck”. Seeing a dietitian is a good idea.

You have the right attitude also. If you are willing to bring your own food to gatherings, something many feel awkward with, then I’m sure you will find solutions to your various food challenges.

As far as adding red dye to meat: if the meat is bright red, then it has dye added to it. If it is a dull reddish-brown colour, then you’re probably seeing it in its natural state.

Good luck with the bread making!

It is a “hunt and peck” method for allergies. I was so sick today and realized that I ate food with sulfites. So…. I am still getting used to what I can and cannot eat. I also am seeing a dietitian to help me get in the nutrients I need. (It is a very restricted diet due to the huge amount of foods I am allergic to.) I also am trying to find out what I can eat in restaurants. It looks like I will have to bring my own food to gatherings, which I don’t mind. It also helps me not stress about what was put in foods and helps the hostess/host not worry about it also.

Am trying to find a bread without soy, rice, and wheat. I went to Whole Foods and had no luck. So I bought amaranth and tapioca flour. Then found out online that there are bread machines being sold that have a gluten-free cycle. Wow!

Allergy Guy… do you know if meats have red dye added to them. I am thinking that they are not allowed to do that any more. Thanks and take care!

So glad to hear you’ve found the answers for you. Everyone is different. It sure is worth finding what you can and can not eat, isn’t it!

By the way, internal tests for celiac are not 100% accurate for a variety of reasons. If it comes out positive, I think you can depend on that, but if it comes up negative, you may still have celiac.

I had internal testing for celiac and it proved negative.

The water on my joints from the allergy appears to be gone. I am feeling immensely better. I have to also say….

PLEASE pay attention to Red dye #40. I have a severe allergy to it and did not know it! There is no test for it. Look at your medications that you react to and see if they contain Red dye #40. It is in a ton of foods also.

My doctor also just told me about Annatto. It what makes cheese have a yellow/orange color. (It is also in other foods.) I cut it out of my diet and feel like a million dollars!!! I had IBS for many years and now I don’t!!!

I wish I could shout from the roof top how great I feel after getting rid of the allergies I listed above! I wish all of you answers so that you can feel a thousand times better!!!

Unfortunately, most countries have laws that allow food labels to lie.

Take terms like “natural”, “pure” and “100%” – meaningless terms, all of them.

In the case of gluten, if it is less than a certain amount, eg 20 ppm, it can be labeled “gluten-free”.

It isn’t right but such is the state of the world we live in!

It makes no sense for a product to legally be put on shelves that contain ingrediants that they are labeled not to have.

You can also cook them.

I add them to my cooked breakfast.

Grinding them is better though – you’ll get more nutrients out of them that way. I was also told that the whole seeds can cause cuts to your insides.

When you start, have him eat about three tablespoons and be sure to be home, the flax will clean him out! I suggest using it on ice cream or mixed with yogurt (I personally love the nutty flavor and will eat small amounts of ground flaxseed for a snack). Continue to adjust the amount of flaxseed he takes on a daily basis and after the first couple of “cleanouts” his bowels will adjust. Another hint is to buy a coffee grinder and buy seeds in bulk from a natural food co-op. Store seeds in a covered container in a cool place or freezer. Grind seeds as needed or several cups at a time. Seeds offer no nutritional benefit (pass through intestines intact) unless they are ground.
