Hello everyone, my name is Kim, I'm 35 and live in central NY. I was diagnosed with a casin allergy and gluten/egg sensitivities about a year ago, and I've been navigating the allergy life up here in the land of Italian cooking while running my small retail business. Luckily I have a very understanding SO who has been quite enthusiastic about our diet/lifestyle change. Which is especially great given our isolated location! I stumbled across you guys online while searching the Internet for info about food allergy support networks, glad I found you :)
Hi Kim. Welcome. :bye:
Hi Kim! I'm glad you found us, but sorry you needed to. Feel free to jump in with questions, etc. there's lots of people here willing to help.
Whey is no problem then? Was this a naturopath?
Allergy testing at 6 years old revealed my son was allergic to casein. He did not have a reaction history and we had not been avoiding, so we simply continued status quo. On the other hand, the testing revealed an allergy to bakers yeast. This was a light bulb moment that explained his gastrointestinal reaction history (he would double over in pain every time we were leaving a particular restaurant --- wherein he gouged on yeast rolls!!)
All this to say welcome -- remember that reaction history is a big part of diagnosis of an allergy.
Also, I've been slack with my welcomes and I will try to jump in more... So WELCOME !!!!!
