Wonderful, thank you! I will have a go at that. Strangely we have some loaf tins here, but I've no idea why!
Not heard of goat butter so will look out for that too. I've not been a great one for cheese, but might explore the equivalents soon.
A friend I told about all of this has suggested that I keep a tiny bit of these items I shouldn't eat in my diet because if you do totally remove them, you will have a much worse reaction than I get now when you do accidentally eat something I'm intolerant of. Have you had a similar experience with your intolerances?
Don't listen to your friend.
So, a bit of background for me. I have a autoimmune disorder that causes a lot of food intolerances and allergies. This is what started my interest in biology. It's focused towards microbiology and immunology, so I know a lot more about this than I know about other aspects of biology. And you've seen how much I know about the other aspects.
There are levels to how your body reacts to certain food sensitivities and allergens. Some you can get away with eating occasionally - especially if they are cooked. Others should be avoided at all costs.
In terms of treatment, there are allegy shots you can take. Basically, you get a shot (usually weekly or biweekly) that has proteins of the things you have issues with. This is built up over time and can help decrese your sensitivites over time. However, it's not for everyone. Some people have complications as the doses increase and have to stop.
This leads back to your friend's suggestion. The proteins for the foods you have issues with will be in much higher quantities than what is in the allergy shot. If you keep eating something you know you have issues with, you are playing with fire. This is especially true during Spring and Fall when common allergens are in the air making you extra sensitive to what you eat.
What you need to do is talk to your doctor about what next steps are right for you. Failure to comply can lead to histamines building up in your body over time which can cause ... unexpected complications.
