    Allergy-Free Recipes: Delicious Ideas and a Moving Story | Kayla Cappiello

    Allergy-Free Recipes: Delicious Ideas and a Moving Story | Kayla Cappiello

    The queen of healthy allergy-free recipes joins The Exam Room with delicious and safe recipes that anyone can enjoy.
     
    Kayla Cappiello specializes in recipes that are gluten free and can easily be transformed into dairy-free, nut-free, low-fat vegan masterpieces.
     
    Her passion in the kitchen stems from her own experiences with food allergies. The journey began with acute episodes that landed her in the emergency room after eating nuts as a child.
     
    As an adult, she often felt sick and tired and had brain fog. Doctors were baffled by her symptoms before discovering that she has celiac disease and was lactose intolerant in addition to having the nut allergy. Even something as simple as a sandwich would knock her for a loop.
     
    Kayla didn't want to stop eating all of her favorite foods, so she began to develop allergy-free recipes for the dishes she loved.
     
    She joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about balancing making healthy decisions without sacrificing flavor and how her delicious journey has her feeling better than ever.
     
    On This Episode
    - How to make any recipe allergy friendly
    - Replicating original flavors with gluten- and dairy-free ingredients
    - Finding strength to still eat healthy while struggling to fit in
    - The perfect gluten-free bagel
    - Plant-based cream cheese
    - Vegan Buffalo mac and cheese recipe
    - Five-ingredient banana bread recipe
    - Pecan-stuffed dates recipe
    - Healthy dessert recipes
    - Allergy-free Chinese food, including General Tso's and lettuce wraps
    - Tater-tot taco meat
    - Nice cream

Rickydelflorida ,

Very informative and inspiring

This podcast has been very instrumental in helping me to become meat free and healthy. I love the guest speakers and topics.

Water33g19 ,

It’s a good one but….

Only one thing…can we get less talk from Chuck & his ‘weight loss story’ as us long-time listeners are really getting tired of all the references to ‘when I weighed *** I or ate this much when I was ***, etc. He’s a great interviewer but…pls stick to questions meant for them and not you. Content is great & all the new info we all appreciate-thx

Bubblhd ,

Love this podcast! I never miss an episode and I always learn something new.
