pasta dishes, and meat(chicken beef, etc) are always a good idea. And you can do a veggie thing.

Question by answers: Anyone have recipies for people with allergies?
She is allergic to eggs, fish, nuts, soy, rice, dairy, wheat (and maybe more…?) With these allergies, does anyone have any recipies? She’s 5, so it has to taste pretty good! She really needs to eat, because all she’s eating right now is basically hotdogs, and she is only 34 pounds or so. Thanks!
Thank you all so much! That site is so cool, it has so much stuff that she can eat…a few days ago my friend and I were trying to make muffins for her, which didn’t turn out so well, but there’s a recipe for cupcakes there! Thanks so much! And InkyBob, the thing is, otherwise she’s like a normal 5 year old! She runs around, loves riding her bike, and likes to hang out with my friend (her sister) and me. Just from looking at her, you wouldn’t know that she is allergic to so many things. Anyway, thank you all so much!

This website has good info. My niece has many of the same allergies, and my sister needs to cook everything from scratch.

Best of luck, and hope this helps!

Question by Cindy: Dog allergy/ skin problem help? (People with experience)?
Ok, so I have a black lab mix (after reading some questions on here it seems black labs are prone to skin problems?) who has chronic skin infections, itching, food allergies, and anything else you can name in the book.

I have taken my dog to two different vets. We have had him for nine months and he has had four skin infections. He is constantly scratching, and biting his bum area. My former vet didn’t want to figure out the problem, he just wanted to cover it up by giving him a supplement that made him shed less. I took him to another vet who said loosing hair around his butt area is always food allergy. So, since nobody around here does allergy testing ( I don’t know why?) I have been trying to figure out what my dog is allergic to by process of elimination.

So far I have eliminated all forms of chicken, wheat, corn and rice from his diet. This has all helped but has not made his itching and scratching go away. I stopped feeding him a supplement which my former vet was having me give him, called theracoat (which is for dry, itchy skin), because my new vet says that is just going to cover up the problem, not solve it. So since I have stopped, he has not recovered at all from this last skin infection (he got three weeks ago). He is no longer bleeding from his itchy spots, but he is still scratching and itching like crazy, and still has bald spots as a result. I give him benadryl when his itching gets out of control, but I don’t want to constantly cover up his problems! I have put him on a food that is venison and sweet potato. What other food allergy could he possibly have? Oh, I also bath him regularly with a oatmeal shampoo that is soap free and hypoallergenic.

Thanks!
He doesn’t have ringworm, he’s been checked for that one!

Answer by Kelle
Are you washing his bedding in detergent?

Don’t bathe much at all. 5 times a year is plenty. Over bathing causes skin problems.

Throw a little fish oil on the grain free food.

Don’t keep changing the diet. It takes months to know if a food is working.

Stop vet shopping.

Here’s a recipe without any of those ingredients:

My husband really liked them. We didn’t have a ton of oil for deep frying, so we just pan fried one side at a time. I’d recommend deep frying them for the right texture (they were still good though).

Question by Memento Mori: For people with wheat and/or gluten allergies…?
do you ever have obsessive compulsive symptoms? Or anger issue? I used to zone out really easy too, my eyes would just lose focus and it would look like i was staring at something but i was just thinking.

Because i recently stopped eating wheat and my OCD symptoms went away. I was very surprised by this, I always thought I had serious OCD because I couldn’t control the direction of my thoughts and i have an overactive imagination so sometimes sounds get heard as auditory hallucinations i guess. Might have something to do with my memory though, i can remember sights and smells from my childhood but the memories get dimmer with each day that passes. I was in a car accident 5 years ago and they found some short-term memory difficulty but it could’ve been my undiagnosed ADHD-Inactive (should still be called ADD since there is no hyperactivity).

Answer by Jenny
Well, I’m not sure if I have any OCD symptoms, but I do have Celiac Sprue, and I think that OCD is a symptom of untreated Celiac. You might want to do a little research on that though, I’m not 100% sure.
