I have just finished writing a power point presentation for my home ec class on food allergies. It has been fun re visiting the information and reminding myself just how far I have come. I can actually go out and change a dish at a resturant and eat out. I enjoy it even more when I actually don't have to cook. At times it gets so over rated cooking for yourself. Mind you I have to be carefull about what does go in the dish and get one that has less of what I react too. It's fun I don't panic now about thinking of going out.
I have found that managers and chefs are so eagar to help you enjoy the meal and go a little further for you. They do a wonderful job. I have managed to find one place and are now on the hunt for others to find at least one dish I can consume without reprocussions.
Thus I can socialize without feeling gulity or panicky about it. I have really great friends who are so supportive and willing to help. I always felt a little left out before, when I was really sick.
