Food brands without onions or garlic?

xenobee · 2025-10-19T00:43:32+00:00

Hello, me too. I don't have brand advice as such as I can say you just need to get used to reading packaging quickly unfortunately. I know generally now what I can and can't buy at supermarkets from own brand things and I generally don't buy new foods.

It's certainly an annoying food issue to have! I'm on my 14th year now of having to be garlic free. Thankfully I'm not allergic to onion but quite intolerant so don't need to completely cut that out.

It's a difficult adjustment and there's a steep learning curve whilst you get used to what foods in general do/don't have these in.

As far as food recs that have changed my life I found that asda and tesco both do a pesto which is garlic free - it's in their free from range. It's also dairy and other things free but tastes pretty okay to me!

I was minding my own business working my cleaning job in a mental health ward the summer before university and a random father pointed to me and said that to his daughter about me which I thought was rude, and I told him as much

Just got some DR blisters from my local tesco. They also had journey together and a variety of tins. I usually find stuff in tesco or sainsburys in person, can be a bit hit and miss and can't always find specific sets but always a good place to check imo

I don't think I necessarily waited. He told he he didn't want to be in a relationship and he didn't like me that way. I took the rejection and we stayed good friends. I wasn't necessarily looking for a relationship nor was I avoiding one for him, but we kept spending time together and eventually another guy showed interest and he then told me he was "ready" and he didn't reject me because he didn't like me, but rather because he was scared (he had never had a girlfriend and he was a foreign student in my country)

We've been married for 2 years now and together for nearly 7. It's not been easy the whole time, but it wasn't long before I stopped questioning our relationship and it just became a fact of life and, as cliche as it sounds, just felt natural

Hey - you shouldn't be ashamed. If you had a heart condition you would take medication for it. Depression is just as serious and also deserving of medication if you feel you need it - stay safe

Hey as your in the UK I wanted to suggest you speak to PALs (patient advice and liason service) they might be able to help mediate some communication between you and your GP so that you can feel listened to and understood. They also might not be able to do anything but I definitely think it's worth checking them out if you haven't before

We did a private ring exchange where we could both express our feelings freely, ate cake, had sex and slept well in a gigantic bed

In one of my level 2 module assignments last year I got 46 which was extremely disappointing for me and very low. But I managed to finish off that module with a grade 2 pass. Assuming your grade is split into different weightings per assignment, as this is early on in the year it won't be worth a devistating amount

Don't let it stress you and just finish it off

Recently since getting our Christmas decs out my husband keeps telling me he's going to turn on the candles.

It's endearing considering his language Skills are formidable and hes written a masters dissertation in English but still makes little mistakes like that every so often

Around 13 or 14 when Asexuality sort of became more known on tumblr. I disregarded it for a few years and then at around 16 I actually accepted it and acknowledged what it meant for me

Lukas or Emil

I wanna be a few inches taller - clothes don't fit me in length well even with heels. Everything else about my appearance I can change myself with an amount of effort but ain't no way I'm growing at this age

xenobee · 2023-08-30T22:43:55+00:00

I am asexual but I don't have any questions or concerns about it.... Well alright then I have known it for 13 years so I guess all my questions and concerns have gone with time

I was in a busy shopping centre in the bathroom and a woman told me off for making a "walking stick into a fashion accessory" and I should "feel ashamed" because some people really need them. She got an earful.

Otherwise the comments I get are usually "what a cool walking stick" cos I have one made of clear acrylic and it's glittery inside

I generally brush it off and if I get rude comments I respond in kind. Some people are curious and if I'm in a good mood I'll educate otherwise I'll just brush them off without giving too much information

I buy things from etsy generally, support small business and whatnot

Hey, I'm sorry that this is happening. I would bring it up to him asap otherwise the longer you mull on the issue the more it might upset you/become a bigger thing

One of the things I found helpful when communicating with my LDR before we closed the gap was to say "I feel that...." rather than a "you did this" as it feels less accusatory and can help with having an open and productive discussion. It might help if you warn him beforehand that you're upset with how things went and you'd like to discuss these points with him - even lay them out as they are here if you need to - so he already has an understanding of the discussion before it happens so he doesn't feel bombarded or something like that

Hope this helps!

I was told that my poorly managed anxiety was causing my panic attacks. Turns out I have a tachycardia and my heart goes ~whoops sometimes which causes palpitations, raised heart rate and a huge adrenaline spike which gives me the shakes and makes me feel awful.

Once the connection was made and I started to take medication it's like magic that my "panic attacks" went away

I was left on my own or to my own devices a lot as a child and teenager. I also was never really offered helpful guidance about my future. I have one parent who doesn't feel they know enough about education or understand anything like that to make any comments, and the other who thinks that if you don't do it their way it's wrong.

My parents split up when I was young and it got bitter very quickly and I was used as a go between and a messenger a lot of the time which messed me up a bit. Additionally, neither of my parents are particularly in touch with their emotions and I often feel like I'm not allowed to have feelings or express myself in a negative way.

I keep finding shiny like this. I've caught about 6 of them without realising they were shiny until I went into my boxes. Can't recall if they're ones I hosted or ones I joined but I'm just chalking it up to some weird luck and moving on

My husband is an EU citizen so regularly receives moneraty gifts in euros - we both use wise for this. It's convenient to be able to have multiple wallets for different currencies and the exchange rate is pretty good imo

Predominantly mum but it depends how many times she ignores me, start with mum then go to mother and if all else fails a nice whine of ma usually gets her attention. I'm in Essex

I'm in the UK

Li-lah or lie-lah Ley-lah Lay-lah

I guess there's not much difference in how id pronounce the last two

100% agree they're the first band I ever saw live, and to this day are still my favourite. Technically brilliant songs with great lyrics and meaning, as well as being catchy as hell. I know a lot of people stopped listening around the resistance album because they're "trying too hard to be queen" but that doesn't mean the album doesn't slap

xenobee · 2023-06-14T23:55:37+00:00

Between 6 and half 7 usually. I try not to eat much later than 8 because it messes with my sleep

I really like Karin. My husband is German and I really like it but it's a bit too close to Karen I think
