    The Longing. Again.

    July 24, 2020 / No Comments

    It's the longing that gets me. I know I've mentioned it just one or two times before, but the longing for food that hasn't yet made the 'free from' rounds really gets me. Now, no matter what I do, I want a croissant. I want to eat foods that will mess me up, just for the taste. I want the pleasure of tasting again.

    How to be happy when eating free from versions of past foods.

    November 10, 2019 / No Comments

    How to be happy when eating free from versions of past foods. This post was inspired by the new Tesco Cheese Flavour Balls – full review coming soon. Nowadays there are ‘dupes’ of many foods, and they come in all shapes and sizes. Some dupes are from the same manufacturer cashing in on the ‘free from’ trend. Some are from allergen friendly companies filling a whole in the market, but one thing is certain – they are all ‘nearly but not quite’. Granted, there is sometimes the odd product that’s amazing, but when you have as many allergens/intolerances/IBS as me the list of ‘tastes like I remember it’ gets even smaller. It’s quite common…

    Longing For Food

    November 10, 2019 / 2 Comments

    Longing For Food There are a LOT of foods I can’t eat. A lot. I crave those forbidden foods, so much so I can feel it deep down in my bones. Sounds a bit like an odd expression, but it’s true. Sometimes, I even feel like I can taste the food. The foods I’ve eaten way back when are one thing, but foods I’ve never eaten before have this odd sort of taste memory for foods I’ve never even touched before. It’s … odd. Of course, there are those longings for foods I can eat – I’m looking at you free from everything delicious cuastard creams. Those I understand more. Not being able…

    Not a picky eater.

    April 11, 2019 / No Comments

    Not just a picky eater. I get so many people – friendly, family, random people, and strangers on the internet telling me that I’m a picky eater. I wish. If I were a picky eater that would mean that I didn’t have to worry about cross contimination, it would mean I’d have more choice when out, and it would mean that maybe one day I could try eating the food that I’ve cut out again. But, I’m not  a picky eater. I have intolerances, allergies, and IBS. And if you don’t believe me you’re mor ethan welcome to stand outside the door as I endure the after effects of the foods I’m too…

About

Welcome to Figuring Out Food. I live with a number of allergies, intolerances, and severe IBS, and over the the years I’ve come across a number of useful blogs, but they always have something or another I can’t eat. So, I decided to start my own! I want to share what I know, and have found out over the years because when your diet is this restricted, things get complicated.
