If you have Cheese Allergy and we discount any possibility of this allergy being related to an allergy to milk, then you more than likely have what is call a Food Intolerance instead of an allergy. During the fermenting process the milk products are separated into Curds and Whey. Most of the proteins responsible for the allergy reactions are in the Whey byproduct produced and the Curd portion will normally have very little or none of the proteins.

Histamines sometimes occur naturally in foods and when ingested can mimic an allergic reaction. Fermented foods such as cheese, and sauerkraut contain histamine, especially Blue cheese, Roquefort, and Parmesan.

The human body contains an enzyme called Diamine Oxidase that is responsible for the metabolizing of histamines. When the histamine-metabolizing enzyme Diamine Oxidase is saturated and the enzyme cannot metabolize any more of the histamine ingested then an allergic like reaction can occur.

Symptoms are usually dose related and the amount of histamines ingested determines the severity of the symptoms. Symptom includes cramping, flushing of the skin, headache, heart palpitations and hypo tension. Symptoms are not usually life-threatening.

Another problem with eating cheese is that mold can grow on cheese. This mold can be closely related to penicillin. Penicillin allergies are usually associated with the penicillin injections but for anyone suffering from an extreme allergy to penicillin should avoid ingesting any.

If you suffer from mold allergies or if you are allergic to mold spores then mold growing on cheese can also be a problem. Never take a chance with your life. Be sure the cheese you eat is fresh and mold is not growing on it. Discard any cheese that has any type of discoloration on it that may indicate mold is growing it.

No mater what type of allergy you are suffering from their is a good chance that you can find relief from the allergy symptoms. Common Vitamins and over the counter products can help with Allergies such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Quercitin, and Bromellain.

Vitamin C is nature’s protective nutrient, essential for defending the body against pollution and infection and enhances the bodies immune system. Take 1,000 to 5,000 mg daily.

Vitamin E protects the lung tissue from inhaled pollutants and aids in the functioning of the immune system.

Quercitin is a well known flavonoid. Flavonoids are powerful antioxidants and can reduce inflammation boost the immune system and strengthen blood vessels and improve circulation. Quercitin is also known for its ability to block the release of histamines, thus reducing or preventing allergy symptoms. Take 500 mg twice daily.

Bromellain will enhance the absorption of Quercetin. Take 100 mg twice daily.

If you are Allergic To Cheese then find a good health care professional prior to starting any type of home treatment.

Summer Avocado Pasta

My wife just made the most fabulous pasta dish for me. It’s ten o clock at night and I never like to eat that late so I told her I would just have a taste. I am now about to finish my second bowl ! This is a simple recipe that anyone can make, but the complexity of flavors is excellent. This is good for those who avoid meat as well.

These are the reasons I like this. We are experiencing 100+ degree temperatures where we live. The last thing I like when it’s this hot is a big heavy meal with a thick sauce. This one is nice and light for days like this. Her choice of a Linguine for the pasta kept it light too. My wife and a few other great chefs have opened my initially skeptical eyes to the world of and importance of textures in cooking. Now I notice that much more in a dish. I noticed right away with this one how well the cool juicy texture of the tomatoes complimented the warmer more dry avocado chunks. Just as you are experiencing this combination of flavors and textures you hit a bit of the crumbly Feta cheese, and lookout ! This combination just really works.

This is a nice light pasta dish filled with great flavors and textures for a hot summer day! I hope you enjoy this one as much as I have!

1 Package of a flavored pasta (We used Trader Joe’s Spinach & Chive Linguine Pasta)

1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar

1 14.5 oz. can of S&W Ready-Cut Tomatoes diced with roasted garlic

1-2 Diced Avocados

1 4 oz. Package Crumbled Traditional Feta Cheese

Cook pasta according to directions. When the pasta is done, drain and put it back in the pot. Add the chopped tomatoes and balsamic vinegar and heat. Plate the pasta and add the avocados and feta cheese on top. If you desire, you can add some parmesan cheese on top as well.

The Italian Bel Paese is made in smallish discs with a thin shiny rind. The paste has an ivory color with a few small holes. It is too firm to spread but a little too soft to slice well. It has a milky, buttery aroma and a gently buttery flavor with a slight tang to it. This rather bland gourmet cheese was created by the Galbani cheese family in the early part of the twentieth century to compete with the soft French cheeses. The label of the cheese depicts a map of Italy and a face of a young priest with a book called Bel Paese (beautiful country). We cut and wrap this cheese in wedges of 8 ounces and 1 pound.
