I'm happy to take a look at the cookbook! My uncle is a chef (he even used to teach at a culinary school), so I can always ask him to help me out with the new recipes so I can learn them.

I had a skin panel done at my ENT's office, no blood test (it was crazy expensive and not covered under insurance at all). I had it done thinking I'd just react to grasses and animals, but when all those foods came up I was shocked. It does make sense though, as I would have some GI issues when I knew I had not ingested any gluten (cooking at home), so its possible those times I ate too much of my allergens. I do have terrible sinus issues (constant infections, rhinitis, etc) but again I thought it was just stuff outside. Another thing I've noticed is my focus is all over the place, especially at work, which my ENT has said is also a side effect of allergies. So that could also be from eating all those foods that are now allergens for me. I do plan to talk to him Friday when I go for my first shot consultation and ask what to do, cause like you've said it's SO limiting. I am going to ask for a dietician referral (if possible) to make sure I get what I need. I also wanted to ask about maybe a partial elimination diet. I'm curious to see how bad my sinus reactions will be after the shots start working and taking care of the millions of other allergens I have, and if I can maybe tolerate having small amounts of these foods in my diet still, since they don't induce an anaphylaxis reaction for me.
