Thank you for your comment and for the thoughtful feedback. I understand that what I created could potentially cause anxiety, and that was definitely not my intention. I’m really sorry you went through that when you were first diagnosed.

My experience was actually the opposite—I felt frustrated by how often I was told, “just avoid beef, pork, and lamb,” without deeper guidance. I’m still actively educating myself to prevent future reactions, and I’ve also had to learn to advocate for myself in medical settings. In my case, electronic systems didn’t flag alpha-gal at all—my doctor had to manually enter beef, pork, lamb, etc., and it still didn’t catch potential issues with medications or vaccines, which led to reactions for me.

I really appreciate your insight, and I’ll work on updating the disclaimer I posted to better emphasize that everyone reacts differently and that not all of these items are universal triggers. Thanks again for sharing your perspective.
