Almonds are a fruit and not a nut perse so that may be why the allergy. I have food allergies too and I find ai is brilliant a chat gpt learns who you are and allergies what you do and don't like then it can give you reciepes for your requirements. Once you've got a few you like and your used to shopping certain ingredients etc then this app is brilliant. I also recommend a instant pot if you don't have a lot of time. You don't need to be skilled at cooking either. Just follow instructions and the ai is perfect for recipes just tell it you want no burn full flavour and it will be perfect every time. I hope this is helpful x

Whew! That's a challenge for even an experienced cook. I don't know that you will want to eat EVERY meal together, I mean you each have your own life to live, but a meal prep that you can make together, or easily substitute this for that, sounds like fun! I have found that using this app is actually all I have needed to deal with 20+ individuals and their individual allergies, likes, and extreme dislikes! 😉 Try Chinese, Japanese, or Korean dishes. The vegetables are cooked, they are always milk-free, and the starch can be rice or bean. And they all seem to make good leftovers!

Did you know that alot of mature cheeses are naturally lactose free as is leerdamer, port salut and many others. I use seriously strong extra mature cream cheese and have no reaction to it. Most things that are bio /live suitable for lactose intolerant people.

Burrito bowls and stir fry(using coconut aminos) are the easiest options I have found!

Tired of Chinese? Go Mexican, or Italian, but generally they are more expensive because of the "vegan" cheeses, sour cream, etc. But I have just left those out for years (I am lactose intolerant too).

You might find that making up the meal prep "together" falls apart, then comes together, then falls apart again. Life cycles ya' know.

Yes, for some people that works. I was a creamery head manager/ head cheesemaker for almost 10 years and we had Brown Swiss cows. Their milk is chemically more like goats milk, so we had a lot of customers that were "lactose intolerant" that could handle Brown Swiss with no complications. We also had an option for "one cow" milk, because milk is different from one animal to another, and while a person may be "intolerant" to a mixture of the entire herd, if they have one animal that makes the milk for all the products they use they use they are usually very happy with it. At least we didn't have any complaints. Also, if they cannot, cannot handle milk, they may be able to handle cream. Cream is chemically different than milk, that's why it separates naturally. High cream content cheeses and cultures are usually handled very well by the "lactose intolerant". But if you are allergic, and it is an actual allergy, PLEASE DON'T PLAY with it! It is far, far better to just LEAVE IT OUT than die. There is a difference between "intolerant" and allergic. If you are intolerant you can play with it and see how far you can handle, like "I can handle well-aged cheese", or "I don't get a belly-ache from cream". If you are allergic a drop or a crumb is Death! There is no "wiggle room".

Oh Yh most definitely! There's not a lot of difference between intolerant and allergic with dairy. I bet making cheese was great, that would be an awesome job tho I think I'd wanna eat it

Karri Barlow

I did! Ahhh! Good stuff! Until my body said "no. Nope. Not anymore!" Doesn't mean I don't remember what it tastes like. I just like the new me. I guess.

I think I could still have it if I had a Brown Swiss.
