Food: No pistachio, cashew, pecans, almonds or "tree nuts", chick peas, sesame seeds, garlic, no yogurt
Fruit: No mango, banana, pear, apricots, grapefruit, lemons, cherry or coconut, strawberries, cranberries, or oranges
Veggies: carrots, celery, sweet potato, malt, broccoli, cabbage, green peas, peppers of any color, cucumber, avocado, artichoke, yellow squash, green beans, green olives or olive oil
Meat: No beef. No lamb. No tuna fish, halibut, grouper, other fish. Lobster and Crab are okay as far as I know - Lady's Human is the opposite, reacts to Lobster and Crab but can eat all the fish he wants.
Odd: No Sucralose/Splenda sweetener, avoid drinks with "citric acid"
Add to that a huge sensitivity to smoke of any sort, and a massive reaction to pot smoke (as well as breathing difficulty, it feels like someone's driving a spike through my left eyebrow), hairspray, most cleaning products, the smell of ammonia, many colognes ...
I am just lucky that I am not allergic to soap - my mother was and sister is, so she has to use either glycerine (Pear's 'soap') or a specialty "soap' called Lowilla.
Aren'tcha glad you asked?
