The Alpha Gal Allergy: Working Mother's Cookbook Preparing Meals MEAT & DAIRY FREE

Recently diagnosed with Alpha-Gal Syndrome I was looking for recipes that were mammalian and dairy free! What a pleasure to find this book! Great recipes! Love this book. Can’t wait for the next one! Only thing I would add is that some of us have to make sure we use organic cane sugar because most sugars are bone charred. Be careful of pastas and breads that contain hidden sugars also.

It has recipes to get me started. My son was diagnosed about 4 months ago. Since he is a bachelor, he is used to eating out. With Alpha-gal you can't, so that left me to try to find recipes. His weight went from 220 to 170 in less than 3 months. This book was a life saver.

Although I know how to cook, and some of these recipes are basic, being diagnosed with this allergy can be devastating. Your first thought is, "Oh my God! what am I going to eat?!" The extremely negative reviews are unnecessary. Does everybody know how to cook? No. Are there some people out there that eat at restaurants all the time and never cook? Yes. There were even a few recipes I did not know and I will add them to my own collection. This book let's you wrap your mind around this allergy and helps you realize that yes, you can use substitutes. The author reminds you to ALWAYS read labels. Not everybody with Alpha Gal reacts the same way. I am not as reactive as others, so take this book for what it is, a first step in the journey into learning how to deal with this tick born allergy. As a side note, be aware of what is fed to the animals or things you eat. I can not eat farm raised fish because most, if not all of them, are fed animal byproducts. I have to eat wild caught seafood. I've also had to change some prescriptions that had animal byproducts or dairy in them. If you can't use soy, there are many other alternative milks and products. As this author did, please use whatever substitute products that you and your family like and can tolerate.

It is a nice cookbook and waited from April 9 to June 25 for this book to be delivered from Amazon! After being diagnosed in February, I was getting desperate for meal ideas that did not compromise my system that has Alpha-Gal allergy. It has a lot of great sounding recipes, but many ingredients are not available in rural America. My (1) local grocery carries no allergen friendly cheeses or other dairy-free products. I can buy lots of turkey, chicken and fish. I have ordered a few items from Amazon, but am a little reluctant to order some dairy products.

Highly recommend this book for anyone with alpha gal. It was very informative, had great recipes, and provided a good base knowledge for knowing/understanding substitutions.

I bought this book for my sister. She's had several tick bites. She's now allergic to meat because of it. She loves the book. It's the only one I could find! Thank You Amazon for having it! She said the recipes are great for Anyone!

lots of great ideas in here.

Excellent explaination of Alpha gal and what foods to avoid. Many good recipes.
