Hi. I need help. I have food allergies. I know I'm allergic to dairy and wheat and I suspect others (corn and rice among others). A couple of years ago I realized I was allergic to dairy and wheat and started cutting some of those items from my diet, but I never found good ways to replace them. Yes, I know they aren't essential, but I mean I can't figure out WHAT to eat. So I feel like I"m starving.
I go to the kitchen (or grocery store) and say "I can't eat any of this!" so I end up skipping meals or eating things that make me ill. The only meal I know without them is stir fry and I make that a couple of times a week. I drink soy milk instead of cow milk. I've lost more weight than I want, and my family now tells me how unhealthy I look. They blame my EBF, but I don't think that's it.
I'm sure there are others here who don't eat these things. PLEASE tell me what you eat! Or refer me to a thread about this. (I couldn't find the right words to search with)
I just had to have surgery to remove a polyp from the inside of my nose that grew due to allergies and my MD wants to send me to an allergist. I'm terrified I'll be told I'm allergic to all food and I'll just starve. Sorry, I'm so dramatic today, still feeling bad from the surgery.
