There's stuff I can eat - that many cannot.

So if I read ingredients labels, I can have my cereal for breakfast, with milk.

For the other meals, pasta, odd salads (lettuce is okay, arugula is okay, but no dressing with olive oil or garlic in them ...), pasta, some "okay-if-I-make-it-myself soup" and of course, I can have chicken, turkey, eggs, and piggie products for protien. Bread is okay if I make sure there's nothing "malt" in the ingredients - try reading bread labels for a kick - I have found a "whole wheat" kind and a "white bread" kind that are safe ... so sandwiches, or make-it-myself pizza, as bread and cheese are okay, too ...

Also, JenBKR, when I first got my allergies tested, the little spot for dust mites swelled and swelled and grew over the other spots around it and made the nurse go "Oh, my!" and draw it on the chart. Dr. Baillit - a sniffly old guy who has since retired - made recommendations about various things and then asked, "Who does the vacuuming?"
"My husband ..." I said.
"Oh, he's a good one, then. You should keep him!"

Not the only reason I've kept Paul, but it was funny to have a doctor's opinion on the matter!

I'm allergic to dairy products. It was just an allergy to my ears, but I've become lactose intolerant over the years, also. I'm also allergic to fresh pineapple. I LOVE the stuff, but if I eat it, I simply cannot breathe. Yellow mustard also makes my mouth blow up and swell.

Pineapple
Yellow Mustard
Red dye in medications - only a certain # of the dye, though

Pollen...big time.

And only until recently, I haven't been able to take ibuprophen...last couple times I did, my face got itchy, didn't swell, but felt like I was getting an allergic reaction to it...was kinda scary.


That is about it, that I can think of now.

Dust - the best way I can find around it is to make my husband clean so I am not bothered by it Obviously that doesn't work well, so I am left sneezing a lot

I'm allergic to insect bites. When I get mosquito bites I get big red welts.

Me too- easily dime sized often larger

I'm also allergic to dust and mold.
I used to be allergic to a lot more, including a lot of animals- especially cats, but I've grown out of almost all of my allergies.
