Allergy members - how do you shop for food?

Hi looklively,
I know what it's like to have intolerences, I always new i shouldn't eat gluten but i did anyway a year ago my little girl was constantly sick doctors had know idea we took her to a natrapath and whalla we have a found what was causing all the cramps, crying and bad behavior. Unfortunately it wasn't only gluten, its also lactose, sugar , preservatives and additives. It was a big learning curve for all of us and opened our eyes to what is in food.all the extras that we don't need. I do some health food isle shopping and i read every label. It doesn't matter if you have had it before always check the label. Ald's is a god sent the amount of products they have are great. No added preservatives, additives, sugar etc. Buying fresh fruit and veg all the time gets a bit picey howver it is worth it. You can't put a price on health either your own or some one in your family. Our whole family went on this diet seems easier for kids to give up the sugar i still can't quite get to that. (don't have much of it though). Depending on the degree of the allergy and cooking with other allegen foods the risk isn't worth it. I cook everything from scratch was buying glut/lact/sug free for my kids but it sent them . The cooking may take a bit more time but its all worth it!!!!
