AllergyFoodie.org is a blog that will cover various aspects of “thriving without” the top 8 food allergens. I will write about all things “food”, which is wheat-free, soy-free, egg-free, nut-free, tree nut-free, dairy-free, fish-free and shellfish free. The blog will also talk about living without a few other common food allergens like chick peas (garbanzo beans), sesame seed, sunflower seed, peas and poppy seed.
The topics covered will be:
- Recipes (of course!): I will cover fun stuff like cakes and cookies. To further the culinary experience, we will also go off the beaten path through international recipes with focus on Indian cooking because many Indian dishes are naturally allergen friendly (my forte – yayy!).
- Alternate grains: I will explore a smorgasbord of seldom heard of grains like Teff, Amaranth, Red Millet, Millet, Rice, Buckwheat, Quinoa, Flax, Matpe beans and Sorghum.
- Packaged/Frozen foods – Review, availability and updates
- Choices in restaurants: To help make eating out a pleasurable experience rather than a dreaded one for those with multiple food allergies.
- Current news from the world of food allergies
- Books, websites and blogs, events etc. with useful information for anyone who needs to know more about multiple food allergies.
This is not a gluten free website because grains like oats and barley will be used in some recipes. However, a large number of the recipes are naturally gluten-free.
All ye foodies out there – this is a great place not just for people with food allergies but also for those who want an alternative gastronomic experience!

I’m 57 now, but when I was 33 went into anaphylactic shock from
eating a flaxseed muffin. With the first bite, I felt a strange
sensation in my mouth/tongue–my throat started closing, I was
gasping & wheezing-various parts of my body started itching.
By the time I got to the hospital, my face was so swollen–my
sister said I was unrecognizable. The ER staff took me right in
and hooked me up to epinephrine. Now, with flaxseed added
to so many items, I have to be extremely careful. Finally,
finally, other people’s reactions are being noted. cp
I’m so happy to have found this blog. My son, now 8, has allergies to so many foods, mustard included. People think I’m crazy when I won’t let him eat something that is in the same food family, i.e. Kale. There are just so many unknowns, it’s scary. My husband and I LOVE food and I also love to cook. It’s great to find other people who are going through the same thing.
Another rather uncommon food allergy, potatoes- russets, and related potatoes, though not sweet potatoes/yams which are from a different plant family entirely- have you done any research/posted about it? I’ve recently discovered I suffer from this allergy, and that it contributes to neurological effects and skin conditions more than traditional anaphylactic responses. Since removing potatoes from my diet, I no longer have upset tummy issues, and the frequency of my severe chronic migraines have lessened immensely as well.
But it has made finding gluten-free foods (I also suffer gluten intolerance) a minefield at best. Between potato and wheat being such insidious staple ingredients in EVERYTHING, even going out to gluten-free friendly places has been hard, since when they remove gluten from a dish or prepackaged food, they often replace it with potatoes in some fashion.
I’ve done alright replacing the russets with sweet potatoes/yams and taro root, but I know I can’t be the only person that suffers this issue, and I want to at least throw this out there.
Very nice blog..such a useful infromation thanks for sharing this post..Thank you.
