Allergies

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and some other grains that should be avoided if you have a sensitivity to it or celiac disease.

This will allow you to comfortably prepare your favorite dishes without discomfort and maintain good health.

Crustaceans are part of a group of seafood products that often cause allergic reactions due to the presence of specific proteins. In case of crustacean intolerance, shrimp, crabs, langoustines, crayfish, and imitation crab meat must be excluded from the diet in all forms of preparation. It is important to carefully check the composition of ready-made dishes and sauces, as crustaceans are frequently used in Asian cuisine and seafood products, and may also be present as thickeners and flavorings in unexpected products.

Egg intolerance requires excluding chicken eggs, quail eggs, and products containing egg white or yolk from your diet, including mayonnaise and its variants. When selecting recipes, it is important to pay attention to hidden sources of eggs in baked goods, sauces, and prepared foods, as they can cause unwanted reactions.

If you have fish intolerance, you must exclude all types of saltwater and freshwater fish, including salmon, cod, tuna, trout, herring, and other varieties in any form — fresh, salted, smoked, or canned. You should also avoid fish sauces, broths, caviar, and canned cod liver, as they contain fish proteins and may trigger a reaction. When selecting recipes on the site, pay attention to alternatives: seafood is often replaced with meat, poultry, or plant-based proteins, and fish sauces are substituted with soy sauce or vegetable broths.

Milk intolerance requires excluding dairy products from the diet, including cow's milk, kefir, yogurt, cottage cheese, cream, and all types of cheese.

This will help avoid digestive system discomfort and make dishes accessible for people with this particular dietary need.

Tree nut intolerance requires eliminating pistachios, walnuts, almonds, cashews, pecans, hazelnuts, pine nuts, and products based on them, including nut butters, flour, and milk from your diet.

Replacing nuts with seeds, coconut, or safe grains will help maintain variety and nutritional value in your menu.

If you have a celery allergy, you must exclude the root, stalk, leaves, and seeds of this plant from your diet, as well as products where it is used as an ingredient or seasoning. This is important because even small amounts of celery can trigger a reaction, including cross-reactions with carrots, parsley, and other plants in the Apiaceae family. When choosing recipes, pay attention to the composition of broths, sauces, and ready-made spice blends, where celery is often present as a hidden ingredient.

Mustard is a sharp condiment that should be excluded from your diet if you are sensitive to it, as it can cause discomfort in the digestive system and irritate mucous membranes.

Replace mustard with mild spices, herbs, or other seasonings to preserve the taste of the dish without unpleasant sensations.

Sesame allergy requires excluding sesame seeds, tahini, sesame oil, and any products containing these ingredients from your diet.

Sulfites are preservatives commonly added to wines, vinegars, and some processed products to maintain freshness and prevent oxidation. When selecting recipes, it is important to exclude alcoholic beverages, especially wines and rice wines, as well as grape vinegar, as they contain high concentrations of these substances. For people with sulfite sensitivity, it is important to use fresh, unprocessed ingredients and replace wine components with alternative options such as lemon juice or natural vinegar without preservatives.

Lupine is a legume plant whose seeds are used in the food industry as a source of protein and flour. When intolerant to lupine, it is important to avoid products containing lupine flour, lupine protein, and whole lupine seeds, which are often found in baked goods, pasta, and plant-based meat substitutes. Lupine can cause cross-reactions in people with peanut allergies and allergies to other legumes, so when choosing recipes, it is necessary to carefully check the composition of ingredients and labels of finished products.

If you have shellfish intolerance, you should exclude squid, mussels, octopus, snails, and oysters from your diet, as they contain specific proteins that your body may not tolerate. These seafood delicacies often trigger reactions due to high histamine content and unique protein composition.

When choosing alternative options, you can opt for fish, meat, or plant-based proteins, which are usually well tolerated.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener used in diet drinks, chewing gum, and low-calorie products.

When searching for recipes on the site, you will be able to filter out dishes containing these components and find suitable options with other sour or aromatic additives.

Strawberry is one of the most common allergens among berries, so if you have an intolerance to it, you should exclude fresh, frozen, and processed strawberries from your diet, as well as dishes where it is the main ingredient.

You can find a replacement in other berries—blueberries, raspberries, or currants—which are usually better tolerated.

When selecting raspberry recipes, it is important to exclude all products based on it if you have an intolerance to this berry.

This is especially relevant when planning menus for young children or when there is food sensitivity to berry components.

Cherries and sweet cherries rarely cause allergic reactions, but if you are sensitive to them, you should exclude all forms of these berries — fresh, frozen, pickled, juices, and compotes. The reaction may be related to proteins in the pulp or skin, especially with oral allergy syndrome to birch pollen. When choosing recipes, check the composition of sauces, jams, and beverages, as cherries are often used as an ingredient in desserts and preserves.

An allergy to stone fruits requires excluding plums, peaches, apricots, nectarines, and prunes from your diet in all forms — fresh, canned, dried, and as juices, nectars, and jams.

When planning your menu, it is recommended to replace tomato components with peppers, carrots, beets or other vegetables that are well tolerated.

When selecting recipes with eggplants, it is important to remember that this vegetable belongs to the nightshade family and may cause a reaction in people with sensitivity to this group of plants.
