Allergic to what?!

Mr received the results from his food allergy testing.
Come to find out, he's allergic to almost everything he eats on a daily basis!

Here's a sample menu of a typical day:
Breakfast: Coffee with cream & an egg white omelet with cheese.
Lunch: Turkey wrap, yogurt & cottage cheese.
Dinner: Chicken or other meat with veggies.

What are a few of the foods that he's allergic to?

1. all things DAIRY
(note* nix the cheese, cream, milk, cottage cheese, yogurt!)


2. Egg Whites (for pete's sake)

3. Beef Eeeks! What's a man to eat?

Most random on the list was kidney beans. Gosh--guess I'm going to have to up my creativity when it comes to meal planning! At least seafood is safe, since we both love fish, shrimp, lobster, etc.

Besides that...the externship has been going amazingly! I've gotten into the rhythm of things there in the clinic, and it's pretty exciting, because I'm actually having a lot of fun!


And in other news...I received a really sweet award from my Mom!

that stinks! I'm allergic to dairy and eggs too... but I can have oat, sheep, and buffalo cheese - they're really good but more expensive! And tell him to watch out for the soy, I love it, but it has estrogen and men aren't supposed to have too much... just FYI! I feel Mr's pain!

Thank you for the award! It's so sweet of you. I really appreciate your wonderful comments.
Glad your externship is going well. MR certainly is challenging the meal planning. I am sure you both will adjust.

Wow, that is too bad because it looks like he had a healthy diet in place. Aggravating allergies...

Wow, that stinks about the food allergies! My brother is allergic to dairy as well, so I have to be careful when cooking for him, sometimes I forget! ;-)

CTB said...

Bless his heart! At least seafood is safe for him. Not to mention delicious and healthy!

I can't eat dairy either, but have found that Lactaid is a great alternative for milk - tastes just like it, but it doesn'y have the lactose in it! Yougurt is also an acceptable dairy food :)

oh no. Food allergies are the worst. I am allegic to sulfites. I just take benedryl and eat some of those foods anyway. I can't do that with wine though... :o(

Kate said...
