Recommended Food and Gear

I have spent hundreds of hours over the past five years researching food ingredients, testing substitutions, and tweaking recipes to adjust to life with young kids who have severe food allergies and intolerances. Below are the foods and gear I’ve researched, used, and highly recommend.

I have experience eating and feeding a family with the following restrictions due to allergies and suspected intolerances:

  • peanut free
  • tree nut free
  • wheat / gluten free
  • milk / dairy free
  • soy free
  • egg free
  • corn free
  • sugar free
  • citrus free
  • and more

Thankfully, we no longer need to live under such a strict diet, as we’ve gained more insight and intuition into what makes our bodies sick–and what makes them thrive. Check out the 7 Crucial Tips for Fewer Allergic Reactions + Better Health to learn more about that process…
