Allergy Food Pictures

[clanmcculloch]

You know, I still haven't downloaded my pictures from my camera let alone uploaded anything to photobucket so I can share them. I'll get there. I've got loooooooooots of pictures. I'll also do dining reviews whenever I get the pictures uploaded.

Just to build up the anticipation:

The first banana split my kids ever ate: at the Plaza Restaurant in MK


Free of gluten, milk, eggs, citrus (citric acid is ok), yeast, msg, peanuts (minor - cross contamination not a concern), hazelnuts, brazil nuts, sesame, blueberry, cranberry, raw carrots, raw fruit skins besides grapes, lima beans, hops and soy products other than Tofutti and Follow Your Heart (soy’s not the problem but we haven’t identified what ingredient in Silk and other soy products cause Oral Allergy Syndrome)

I have never seen anyone else ever with a cranberry allergy! I have that too!!!!!!!! (along with gluten and soy).

What a nice looking split!!!!! Thanks for sharing!

The cranberry thing actually isn't a true allergy. She has a bladder condition called Interstitial Cystitis which is basically the bladder equivalent of an IBD (Inflamatory Bowel Disease) and 100% of the time that she ingests any trace of cranberry a flare of her IC is triggered. I list it as an allergy because it's easier and it's what people understand. Cranberries are actually among the most common IC triggers which is what led me to discuss it with her doctor and to seek out a urologist for her. The citrus fruit issue is also an IC trigger for her though for her sister it's a GI trigger though I suspect it also triggers bladder inflamation; we've never investigated bladder stuff in her since she only seems to get UTI symptoms when she's also having a mild GI flare and treating the GI flare seems to take care of the UTI symptoms. Stupid autoimmune issues. Stupid genetics.

I've been posting lots of pictures in my dining review. Should I cross post some of them here too?

YES! Love your reviews over there BTW! So helpful!!!!!

[clanmcculloch]

I'm glad you're enjoying the reviews. Here are some pictures for this thread, without all my looooooong winded explainations. LOL I'll start with some desserts.

Everything here is gluten, milk, egg, peanut and treenut free among many other things free (though our cross contamination concerns on the nuts are likely not the same level as some others around here who frequent this board as I typically don't worry about same facility with the tree nuts and don't worry about cross contamination on peanuts).

Mama Melrose (Tofutti ice cream and Enjoy Life cookies)




Sunshine Seasons


Whispering Canyon Cafe birthday cake


LeCellier mango sorbet (fruit flavour can change daily)


The Plaza Restaurant banana split

[clanmcculloch]

Lets see...... how about drinks and special breads next. I'm trying to split these across posts as I remember encountering limits to how many I could put in a single post.

The Plaza Restaurant milk shakes and rootbeer float using Tofutti ice cream



Redbridge beer at HDDR


Whispering Canyon Cafe milk shake varieties (chocolate, berry, mango, vanilla though yes there's a water glass in the middle)


Babycakes corn bread with Earth Balance margarine



Babycakes donuts that I forgot to photograph until they were almost all gone


Whispering Canyon Cafe corn bread (best on property)

[SDSorority]

YAY thanks for sharing these!!

[Notso]

To the person who posted months ago about Babycakes at YC/BC, where did you find them there? We are staying at BWV in February and I have a two year old with celiacs, who would flip for those. I'd love to walk over and stock up!

Are the baby cakes corn bread and donuts egg free??? We leave in less than a month, and we've got a WCC ADR. I'm a little apprehensive about this trip b/c of the new "bread" situation. In the past, DS (egg, peanut, & tree nut allergic) was always given ener-g rolls for bread, since regular bread was usually cross contaminated with nuts. The Udi's rolls have egg in them, though. I'm hoping this won't be a "breadless" trip for DS! --Katie
