In October I started allergy testing---it's a long process, but by Mid-January I had it figured out---it also helped me learn why I was gaining weight when I should have been losing weight (oh well....the White Chocolate Bread Pudding at Larriviere's may have had more than a little to do with that...).
My allergen issues are dairy and gluten. I have voluntarily also eliminated refined sugar and soy simply because they are SO bad for you.
The greatest thing in this process is I learned I was far from alone in my allergen issues. I live by blog for my recipes, and was able to make awesome Thanksgiving and Christmas meals all allergen free. I have a two week rotating meal plan, and almost all of the recipes come from blogs.
My go to sources are:
The Spunky Coconut
The Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen
and
Real Sustenance
These are in no particular order, but all three are great---they also all have links to other blogs, and the wonderful recipe makers and experimenters that put these together have saved me so much time and frustration, and have been a life-saver in keeping Joel happy with our meal transition.
