Have Food Allergies Taken Over Your Life?

It really feels like the last year our family has come to the realization that we have food allergies!  First it was the milk….my oldest son was constantly having digestive issues.  Absolutely no fun!  Then we realized my husband’s issues were caused by the same products: dairy.

Things got better but we were still having vomiting issues.  Especially after we would eat out at certain restaurants.  After visiting with our pediatrician, we now realize we are allergic to preservatives….MSG especially.

Then, I started getting arthritis in my hand (college volleyball jammed fingers I assume).  It was throbbing all the time!  So I did some research online, most from my favorite Chiropractic blogger.  You can check him out HERE!  During this research I found that gluten was causing my pain and throbbing, because when I quit eating it…the pain went away!

So if food allergies have taken over you life, you might need some resources.  Because allergy free cooking is an adjustment.  So, here are 10 products to help you with Allergy Free Cooking!  I really hope they help and don’t forget to enjoy!  Also, here is a link to my favorite gluten free recipe, but now we leave out the cheese (dairy allergies).
