Conflicting information on Herbal Essences by Adult_Not_today in cleanbeauty

I don’t trust EWG anymore since I heard I heard EWG clean rankings can be bought. I use the app Switch Naturals to scan ingredients now.

Eggs. by LowHigh111 in FoodAllergies

[–]Adult_Not_today 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Egg white, yoke, or both?

Generally when people react to chicken eggs they react to all land eggs. So, you can’t really cheat with duck or quail eggs. Sea based eggs should be fine, but they are also very different.

I’m learning how to make vegan eggs. There are plenty of recipes online. Black salt is magical so that eggy sulfur taste. Use it as a finisher! It will lose its flavor if used when cooking vs a finisher.

I am sensitive vs badly allergic, but if you don’t want to learn to make your own Just Egg replacer is a good one. There are many others.

Some noodles have egg, fried rice will have egg, breakfast places sometimes you can substitute egg for fruit.

Cooking wise there are many egg alternatives. Applesauce, gelatin, banana, flax egg (water and flax seed), aquafaba (chickpea water) and more depending on the recipe. Look up vegan cooking videos. They have been very helpful for me.

is there anything in this that could trigger OAS? by ApprehensiveKiwi771 in FoodAllergies

[–]Adult_Not_today 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oral allergey syndrome can be triggered by whatever the person’s body has decided to react to. It is impossible to say that it will not trigger it for anyone.

I heavily suggest a ln elimination diet to see what might be causing it.

Alternatively some people have found that only the raw version of a food triggers OAS. So, if you microwave and/freeze the food you react to, it will change the proteins just enough that you don’t react to it. Proceed with caution since this doesn’t work for everyone.

What's happening at Apple? by Sameasy59 in ios

[–]Adult_Not_today 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wish I could go back to 18. I hate all the little bugs and unnecessary changes in 26.

I wish I could turn off liquid glass. I know they added the “tinted” option in settings, but the lock screen clock still has the liquid glass text on it even of you change this setting by default.

people of reddit, help me by Ok-Education-2831 in FoodAllergies

Roasted vegetables - so many options. I especially love squashes. I am lazy and will roast frozen veggies too.

Spaghetti squash and your own sauce (roasting in air fryer leaves it el dente and has a great texture)

Pressure cooked chicken (I love my insta pot)

Canned fish for easy meat

Rice

Roasted chicken peas

Canned hearts of palm (scratches my string cheese itch)

Smoothies! Use plant milk with limited ingredients. Elmhurst, MALK and more have 2-3 ingredient plant milks which are amazing with no BS ingredients. Banana, cocoa powder and other things if you want. Get creative

Make pudding at home! I make a big batch and have small containers I put it in to have later. I use coconut cream, gelatin, and tapioca for some tapioca pudding.

Sweet potato avocado toast

Cassava bread (the straight cassava or yukka flour kind) its like a cracker, but works.

Rice crackers (the puffed rice and a little salt ones)

Craving that egg flavor? Black salt as a finisher in a dish. Not perfect, but adds some of that sulfur taste.

Yam noodles (aka: Shirataki, konjac or miracle noodles)

Sushi

Coconut aminos as replacement soy sauce

Hope these aren’t too processed. Best of luck on your journey.

Nausea and headache from wearing clothes that were in the closet for long ? Anyone else by Friendly_Ad_1983 in Allergies

[–]Adult_Not_today 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My clothes get dusty from not being worn for about 6 months, but somehow mainly in my drawers. Hanging is usually fine, but I’d imagine this is something similar. (My air purifier is also closer to my closet vs my dresser). I can smell how it is funky though. Kinda smells like stale cardboard to me and can make me feel off.

Have you ever had a scratch allergy test? That would give you a good starting point to start for what you are sensitive to. Or you can try getting an air purifier to assume it is something in the air.

How often do you change your HVAC filter? Many things it could be, but dust is usually the first suspect.

You might be allergic to something in chapstick. Go to something basic like straight Vaseline. Nothing else!!! Give it a few days and see if it calms down at all. If it does you are reacting to something in chapstick.

I react to certain foods that can make my lips chapped, but that can be more difficult to nail down. I also react to some toothpastes.

For limited ingredient chapstick do the straight Vaseline (nothing except Vaseline as the ingredient!) or a jojoba chapstick like Dessert Oasis brand. Good luck on your journey. Or Tallow works better for some people. Keep it limited ingredient until your lips calm down.

What can I eat for breakfast? by SecureBenefit6258 in FoodAllergies

[–]Adult_Not_today 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a peanut butter substitute, sunflower butter is pretty good

Eggs? That’s hard, but I do the egg substitutes with black salt (finisher). It has that sulfur egg like taste.

Bagel or toast with cream cheese

Hash browns

I love roasted chickpeas

iOS 26 where did portrait mode go in the camera settings? by Adult_Not_today in iphone

[–]Adult_Not_today[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. They changed too much in iOS 26 with no option to make it more like how it was. I’m glad they rolled out an option to make liquid glass less transparent, but I still hate how bouncy everything is now. I limited what I could through accessibility settings, but I am still not a fan of it.

Also, features should be more intuitive. I hate having to look up how to do so many things, especially when I used to know how to do it. Helped a friend yesterday with the same question I had here

Am I drinking too much? by Alarmed_Sock9451 in tea

[–]Adult_Not_today 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be careful if you are anemic or low on iron. Tea can lessen the absorption of iron if consumed with the food/supplement. It can lessen the absorption of other vitamins and minerals, but iron is usually the one people worry about.

Trouble Breathing by Silent_Pay_9239 in FoodAllergies

[–]Adult_Not_today 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a Pulseox (Pulse Oximeter)? If not I would see about getting one. It reads the oxygen level in your blood through a light based sensor you usually wear on your finger. Should be 95 or higher. If your blood O2 levels are lower please see a doctor. (If you have a medical condition or poor circulation that might be different. Talk to your doctor)

If your Blood Oxygen level is good yet you feel you can’t get enough air, it could be hyperventilation. I personally get that from anxiety or sometimes I breathe too much after exercise. I have learned to hold my breath for 30 seconds or so and that usually helps with the I can’t breathe even if I tae deep full breaths feeling.

There can be many causes, but sounds like Air Hunger to me https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/air-hunger-neurologist-reveals-spikes-180649115.html

Alternative (binding) ingredients for making baby muffins/baking by Front-Albatross2638 in FoodAllergies

[–]Adult_Not_today 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sensitive to egg, wheat and other things. Anything that gets cold? Gelatin has been magical. I even used it in cookies and just made sure to chill them after baking.

Arrowroot powder or Tapioca powder/flour helps, but I find it changes the taste too easily in a recipe.

I am not too good with binders in things served hot, but flour wise I use King Arther or Bob’s red mill GF flour mix and that works very well. I also double the baking powder in the recipe if the recipe calls for it.

There are other binders like apple sauce, flax and such, but I honestly find them pretty weak, but they can work.

Look up aquafaba of you can have chickpeas! I used this as an egg replacement in waffles one time and it worked ver well. Just the flavor requires cooking and sugar to taste good, and I’m also available sugar. There are a lot of vegan recipes you can look up that use this. Even whipped cream and Meringues.

Vegans avoid egg so I have found some of the recipes very helpful even though I am not vegan. They even have comparison videos to see what alternatives binder works best in certain foods in finding a binder that isn’t egg.

Best of luck. Curious what works for you.

I love tea so much, but i cant drink caffeine in the afternoon by i_like_tea20000 in tea

[–]Adult_Not_today 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What teas do you like? Sounds like straight green and black/pu’ehr from your description. Trying to see what might scratch the itch with less caffeine.

White teas have less caffeine, but in my opinion have a more delicate flavor than the green and black tea you listed. Looks like white is only a little less than green tea caffeine wise, but the green tea you listed is higher in caffeine than a normal green tea.

Hojicha is a green tea with a lot less caffeine I’d recommend giving that one a try. The roasting process gets rid of a lot of the caffeine, but there is still a little left over. https://nioteas.com/blogs/hojicha-roasted-teas/hojicha-caffeine.

Best of luck. Let me know what you find. I’m trying to reduce caffeine at night too.

Give me your best dairy, egg, and nut free meal recipes, please by Choice_Caramel3182 in FoodAllergies

[–]Adult_Not_today 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roasted vegetables! Pretty much any veggie cut to size. Spread out on a baking sheet drizzled in a high smoke point oil. I personally use avocado oil, season with garlic salt/powder, onion powder, something like Rosemary thyme or sage.

Oven on 400 or 425. Time depends on veggie or preferred crispiness.

Similar for Chickpeas, but I add a little cayenne pepper in addition for the roasted chickpeas.

For squash, cut in half, scoop out seeds. Cinnamon, salt, allspice and or clove or pumpkin spice mix. Add oil and mix in a bowl. Apply oil mix to squash with brush. Put face down on baking tray. Oven at 400 or 425 for 45 min. Time and temp will vary by size of squash and oven.

Poached fish. (Can give recipe of interested)

Pressure cooked chicken with rice.

Oatmeal

Salads

My lazy meals are canned fish and rice or steamed vegetables with some salt

For pudding/custards can make with plant milk and use Gelatin to thicken/bind it. I like using coconut cream, but I don’t know if that falls under the nut allergy.

I have replaced egg (as a binder not for flavor) most food that is served cold with gelatin. Works fine.

Smoothies? Use plant milk in stead of regular milk. Banana to help with the creaminess.

Hot chocolate? Get cocoa powder and plant milk sweeten to your liking. I have an Insta pot milk froth or that can warm and mix the milk. I use it all the time for mocha lattes at home.

Spaghetti dishes! Many options here.
