Haha, I LOVE peanut butter but it looks like my peanut butter-eating days are over, at least for now.

It's a long list but wheat, eggs, and soy are the main ones. Soy is especially tough to work around. It's in almost everything. Milk is also on the list but it's not a bad one. I haven't had milk on its own in awhile but a little butter here and there isn't too bad. There are still things that I'm not too sure about and others I've been told to avoid due to what other people in my case shouldn't eat, like nuts and fish. It's kind of wishy-washy at this stage. I don't use an epipen as it's not that kind of allergy, and I don't know enough about it yet to know how I would be effected by cross-contamination.

Anyway, the convention got me a contact with the Hotel and I was able to make my needs known to them a few days ago. So I should be taken care of and have no intention of starving to death. Bonus.

Sayonara.

I've been through wheat and eggs (my reactions have changed in the past 30 years, but I've been there, and it makes breakfast kinda weird, so scrap pre-conceived notions of "breakfast food" and don't listen to people who try to tell you that toast and eggs are mandatory for "a real breakfast." Rice with hot sauce has made a damned good breakfast for me for many years.)

Glad it looks like you have a plan in place!

My wife n I have started eating more avocado recently.
If not on the allergen list, this makes a great non-processed spread.

We even add it in fruit salad; gives it a great different addition.

Is it wheat specifically or gluten? If its wheat you could possibly have rye bread. I understand your issue with soy as it is in practically everything. Let me look into stuff and see if I can come up with a treat.

But contact the quest, tell them you do have food sensitivities and see if they can accommodate your needs. Sounds like you could possibly have corn products.

[Ninjatron]

Rye is also on the bad list, as is Barley.

Corn I am not allergic to.

Okay, that indicates to me that it is a gluten issue. Rya and barley have significantly smaller amounts of gluten which is why wheat flour is typicaly added to those flours to make bread.

It is gluten that provides the strechy aspect to bread dough. hard (bread) flours have more of it, pastry flours have less of it.

Maybe I can look up some corn chips and make a guac for you to enjoy. Guac I could make quite easily.

[Ninjatron]

That's very generous. Thank you. Though I have to say that I don't eat tomato anymore either and I absolutely detest onions. I'm not sure if guacamole without those ingredients is still considered guacamole, but as long as it tastes good, whatever man!

Who is your favorite Transformers character? Oh wait, is it Starscream? It's Starscream, right?

I don't know if this helps at all, but as someone mentioned, you could just bring your own food...I noticed on Google Maps that there is a Walmart and a Loblaws 10 minutes from the hotel (20, if you take the bus like I will be. ^_^)

[Ninjatron]

I am going to bring as much food as I can, and will probably bring a cooler, but beyond that it's not like I can properly refrigerate and cook in my hotel room.

Sayonara.

We made guac without any of that. generally pico is used. Essentially, salt, lime pepper and avocado makes up guac - or the guac I am used to making.

Yeah Starscream's my favourite. He's my inspiration on never giving up on my goals.
