Life as a limited foodie

We love food.  We love to discover the flavor, texture, smell, and even sound of food.  But, in the recent past our foodie-ness has had to take us to new and wonderful places because we can't eat many of the foods we used to.  Here's our current list of avoids:

All dairy -Butter, Cheese, Milk, Yoghurt
Fruit: Apricot, Banana, Grapefruit, Nectarine, Orange, Pear, Pineapple
Grains: Barley, Couscous, Flaxseed, Kamut, Oat, Psyllium seed, Rye, Spelt, Triticale, Wheat
Meat/alt: Beef, Egg white and Yolk, Gelatin, Tofu
Misc: Barley Malt, Brewer’s yeast
Nuts: Almond, Cashew, Pistachio
Oil: Flaxseed oil, soy oil
Spices/Seasonings: MSG, Poppy seed, Tumeric, Tamari, Soy Sauce
Vegetables/Beans: Kidney Bean, Navy Bean, Pinto Bean, Soy bean, Asparagus, Brussels Sprout, Kale

I learned them by dividing them into these categories.  It's been almost 6 months and I'm finally getting the hang of it!
