Anyone else here have allergies to gluten/lactose/other foodie stuffs?
I was diagnosed with gluten/lactose intolerance when I was 12 and have been living the high life ever since... plus I can't eat any sugar/processed foods... LOL xD
My intolerance is really bad, whenever I eat food I'm allergic to my glands swell up and I'm in major pain ;(
I know how difficult it is to walk by bakery shops/find nice recipes, so if anyone else here has similar allergies, we should share recipes! ^_^ I'm a baking fiend so I'm always finding out new ones and I'd be happy to share them if there's a need.

I'm lactose intolerant, but my boyfriend is allergic to dairy, (two different things) he is also supposed to stay away from gluten and also can't have soy.. its tough.

I'm sorry for your food allergies... you must have to be really creative with your cooking. I'm really happy that here in Austin tons of gluten free menus are popping up. Eventhough I'm not gluten free or lactose free, I would love to try some of your favorite recipes... I'm always looking to find ways to cook for my friends and future friends with special diets.

I've started having difficulty with lactose (for now, lactaid-type pills are helping with some things, but certain dairy products make me terribly sick with or without the pills), and I have to be careful about my sugar intake. My body overreacts to sugars and simple carbs and produces too much insulin, which then drops my blood sugar. So, that's not good. I'm also allergic to herbs and spices. Salt, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, powdered dried peppers, garlic, and onion are the only flavorings I can really cook meals with anymore.

My mom has the same blood sugar issues I do, plus she's completely lactose and gluten intolerant. Since with every passing year, my medical file looks more and more like hers, I wouldn't be surprised if I end up the same way.

Luckily for me, I'm quite fond of meat, so if nothing else, I suppose I could live on steak and sashimi.
