As a mother, I understand how distressing it could be to find out your child is allergic to a particular foodstuff. And how hurting it could be to see your angel suffering from allergic reactions. I was shocked and worried. Initially, I couldn’t think of anything else but his allergic reactions. But somewhere, I knew I couldn’t sit idle forever doing anything about it! And that’s where I started researching and exploring things. Nevertheless, as a girl brought up in a traditional Marathi household, I usually couldn’t go beyond vegetarian options. But then I realized it isn’t about me and what I like. It is about my child, what suits him, and his nutritional needs. Accordingly, I stepped ahead and started thinking about unconventional recipes. I started following various blogs, channels, etc., to learn different innovative recipes that would suit my son. But then, I realized preparing a vegan recipe using substitutes isn’t similar to cooking for a child allergic to certain foodstuffs. I had many restrictions to take care of while ensuring I kept discovering and learning. Honestly, while a few recipes worked, some didn’t. I kept noting the latter to know and remember what not to do. But I once again realized that keeping the experiential learning to myself won’t help. I must share these recipes with mothers going through the same experience, and they resonate with me. And, that’s now Gruballergy was born! You are free to explore. Connect with me for specific guidance on the receipt part. But these recipes are purely based on my experience. Hence, I suggest not to try any recipe without a doctor’s consultation.
