My name is Elijah. I like gaming, sports, and cooking. I also like music. It helps me calm down when I am upset. I play the violin and the guitar. I also like art. I like to draw, sketch fantasy things that look real, and work with wood. I really like cars and someday want to rebuild an old car with my dad.
I have a celiac disease, severe allergies to lots of foods, and I am lactose intolerant. I have 3 sisters, 2 of who have celiac as well. I live with my parents and grandparents. My grandpa has celiac as well. This makes eating and cooking a challenge. We cook together since we eat some of the same things. I like to find good recipes and fix them so my sisters, grandpa, and I can eat them.
I do home-school so that I don’t get things that I am allergic to. When I eat things that I am allergic to I get a red rash with bumps that itch and look awful. It is rough to be a teenager with a rash on my face.
I want to help others that struggle with physical problems related to diet. I like to bake and cook so I will be making recipes that I can eat and cook. I will share these recipes with you on my web site.
I also make things to use in the kitchen. I make cutting boards. My sister makes cotton hypoallergenic market bags, kitchen scrubbies and cloths. We might be obsessed with kitchen things, just a little, but that is me and my family.
I hope I can share things that will be helpful to you.
I invite you to follow me on Facebook and Twitter.
