Cook several allergy-free meals at a time and keep at least one spare meal in the freezer. When ordering from a menu, choose simply-prepared foods such as baked potatoes, steamed vegetables or broiled meat. If you are allergic to fish, beware of surimi. Surimi is made from fish muscle that is reshaped and used to make imitation seafood, like imitation crab. Ask in restaurants, bakeries and delis whether they use peanut oil or products.
Egg substitutes Use any one of the following combinations instead of eggs in baked foods.
Do not mix until ready to use. For larger quantities that you can keep on hand, mix 1 envelope unflavored gelatin with 1 cup boiling water. Substitute 3 tablespoons of this liquid gelatin for each egg in your recipe. In baking, for 1 cup milk, substitute 1 cup water or 1 cup allowed fruit juice such as apple or orange plus 1 Tbsp. Be wary of using goat's milk, since its protein is similar to cow's-milk protein and can cause a reaction in people who are allergic to milk.
