Yep, I am OK on every meat but beef. Dairy takes out a lot of foods, ice cream, butter, cow’s milk,yogurt, anything with milk ingredients on the label. But I have found coconut milk and coconut milk ice cream.

It took months to figure out what I can eat. Recently I found a bread mix I can make. The flour is made of garbanzo beans, the only bean I can eat. I subbed coconut milk for milk, coconut oil for butter and egg replacer powder for egg in the bread mix recipe and it turned out great. I hadn’t eaten bread for a long time and it’s nice to be able to make a sandwich again. I sliced the bread and froze it so I can take out a slice at a time and not waste any of it.

I didn’t make other baked goods for a long time either until I figured out those replacements for butter and eggs and flour. I have a special flour I can use called Domata Living Flour, made out of rice flour, corn starch,and tapioca.

I make my own spagetti sauce because every store brand has garlic. I found pastas made of brown rice or corn flour.

I eat a lot of brown rice. Potatoes and most veggies are still OK.

Thank goodness for bacon! Adds nice flavor to lots of stuff like turkey burgers, rice dishes and german potato salad.

All the allergy eye symptoms are gone and the weight loss has been so easy. From what I’ve read, eating allergic foods causes weight gain. As soon as I stopped eating those foods, the pounds came off fast. My rings that used to fit are too loose. Not that I’m sorry! I am just happy to feel better. I sleep a lot better too.

Anyone who is interested in the test I had done I will add the link to the webpage. I found out about this test from my sister who had it done 2 years ago. She is allergic to all the things I am.

The lab that does this test, is in the back of most of Suzanne Sommer’s health books. It is Meridian Valley Labs in Washington State.

You have blood drawn locally and it is overnighted to Washington state, near Seattle. The whole thing cost $257 and saved me from a slow and unhappy decline.

People who feel great and have a normal weight don’t need to worry about this, but anyone feeling lethargic, fatigued, fat, insomnia problems, perhaps tired watery eyes, might want to consider seeing what foods might be bothering them.

I’ve read that half the population is allergic to cow’s milk. Most just don’t know it.

The most common foods that bother people are anything made with cow’s milk, gluten (wheat, rye, barley), and eggs.

Other stuff is not as likely but I had many of them.

The weblink will show the 200 foods I was tested for.
I had the Combo Test done, which combines the “basic” and the “extended” foods lists. At the bottom of the page it has links for both of those lists of foods.
