The Challenge of Gluten-Free, Dairy-free, Soy-Free Allergies

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know by now by my numerous stories that I have gluten, dairy, and soy allergies. I also avoid a few other ingredients because they trigger migraines for me. I get scary migraines that display stroke-like symptoms. While my doctors tested me for all sorts of other health issues, we found out that my food allergies played a part in what was wrong with me. One of my doctors worked with me, and we discovered that a few other things triggered my migraines.

To be honest, it has been a hard pill to swallow. Not being able to tolerate gluten is bad enough. When you add the other two allergies, navigating day to day life gets to be pretty frustrating at times.

My family still eats gluten, dairy, and soy. However, most of our dinners contain none of those ingredients so that we only have to make one dinner. We run to and from various activities during the week, so making separate meals just doesn’t make sense for us.

Lately, I have been in a rut with eating the same things over and over. I decided I needed to get out of that rut, so I thought it was time I started creating new things in the kitchen again.  I hope that if you have a gluten allergy or just want some easy, healthy meals, that you enjoy this gluten-free one-pot dish!
