The only foods that I am allergic to are milk and almonds. But if the
milk is cooked (pancakes, cake, scrambled eggs, etc), I can eat it. But
the wife now cooks with soy milk since our disabled daughter is now
allergic to milk also. She started having problems with milk a couple
of years ago and she is now 30. I've been allergic to almonds since I
was 35 and milk since I was 40. The absolute worst item is almond
extract, a lot of foods have that extract in them.
But I am not suppose to eat any dark vegetables. The darker a vegetable
is, the more vitamin K it has. My Warfarin (Coumadin) is counter acted
by vitamin K. But I eat a minimal amount anyway, life is short. They
just increase my chance of having a stroke of which I am high risk due
to heart issues.

I am also allergic to Penicillan and Keflex. Not good.
One of my uncles, 78, is having serious problems with blood sugar. When
his hits 350, he cannot see anymore. At that point, my aunt runs him to
the ER where they lower it somehow. But he is a sugar junkie like all
of us.
