Even though my world revolves on being sensitive to 12 different foods (including cane sugar and yeast), I can imagine that some people are sensitive to only a few foods, or some without any.  And I say to you – good for you!  You can eat whatever you want!  However, I know a lot of people who may not necessarily be sensitive to foods but are supposed to watch what they eat for some reason or another.  Some may have to avoid salt, others may have to avoid dairy, and others may be looking for sweeteners with low glycemic indices. Whether you have only mild irritations or severe limitations to your diet, we can all support one another in the quest for good nutrition.

Hi, everyone. Welcome to my first foray into the blogosphere. My name is Alissa, and by day I am an economist. I really enjoy analyzing data and figuring out the implications of various trends. However, every day I manage a number of food sensitivities. For the past three months I have learned much about digestion, nutrients from food, and food substitutes, and am excited to share my findings with you. I also look forward to discussing the ways that you too are incorporating new foods or avoiding old ones from your daily life. We can even talk about the economy too! So I hope you join me on this journey of living with food sensitivities. Come find your sensitive side!
