I am fairly sure I have an Alpha Gal Allergy from a tick bite that is making me react to red meat and dairy. While I am waiting to get confirmation from a blood test, I've decided it is in my best interest (for staying alive) that I go ahead and just adopt the appropriate diet.
This diet is incredibly hard! I love red meat. I love steaks and pork bbq. I love cheese. I really love bacon. Chocolate, Ice Cream and Butter - all off the list as well. On top of the Alpha Gal symptoms ... I also have a sensitivity to gluten.
Shopping and eating out in the last 4 days has been a real joy .... NOT!
Decided to share my diet diary to help others as I have been carefully reading a lot of food labels this week. Basically, for me, it is a Vegan Diet adding in chicken, turkey, fish and eggs.
Tonight's dinner was quite delightful - so I thought I would share:
Tilapia cooked stove top with Olive Oil and Penzey's Northwoods Spice
Trader Joe's mixed coleslaw (regular cabbage, red cabbage & shredded carrots)
Coleslaw Dressing - Trader Joe's Island Salsa
Feeling a bit more normal tonight now that I have abandoned the Cheerios. One day at a time.
