I hope you still do the same. As an adult with many food intolerances (and friends in the same boat), I know what it's like to be constantly searching for ways to make and buy good food that won't make us ill. There are many, many of us out here and we're craving a publication like this. Please don't make us wait any longer!

I was wondering what has become of this idea and will it go into publication? I would love an update. I am very interested in the Food Allergy Magazine Idea...

I love all animals. I also have Allergic Family members, I know how personally life changing an allergy diagnoses can be. I am currently struggling to learn how to bake with alternative flours (GF & rice & corn are out)and baking without butter/margerine.. I am learning the difference between sticky flours & protein flours. The allergy magazine is something that hundreds of thousands of us need. It could literally help make the lives better of thousands of us by taking us out of this overwhelming new life and helping us make sense of the kitchen which has suddenly become an enemy at every counter and every meal. 57% is the majority and should be the clear winner, making a positive change in the lives of thousands of people is something to be proud of,,,, I have pets, 4 currently and they are furry family members.

Those of us who deal with food allergies every day search for easy, delicious meals to serve our family and friends. My best moments are when someone says, "This tastes fantastic! How can it be free of dairy and eggs?" For some recipes to help get you started, see www.foodallergyassistant.com. The idea for a food allergy magazine is fantastic!

I have a daughter who is allergic to 7 or the 8 top allergens and a husband that is allergic to 2 of them. It's hard enough to pull information together, I'm not going to buy several differnt magazines just to get a little information. Please let us know!!!

However, this week I was also given my new allergy test results and now in addition, I am soy-free, egg-free, dairy-free, yeast-free and have to avoid other fruits and vegetables. I am so thankful to find out that Alexis proposed such a wonderful idea for a magazine. It makes me even more happy that she won. I applaud her for her idea and also Martha for making this happen for all of us that have food allergies. Can't wait to find get my own subscription!

People don't know how hard it is to have them. My daughter is now 4 and was diagnosed with Celiac Disease at the age of 1. The first year was so hard. The cost of gluten-free food is crazy and hard to find. If more commerical companies became aware of this disease and other allergies and food intolerances and tried to market products geared towards alleries/food intolerances, people would buy them. I think that is more important than a devoting a magazine geared towards pets. Animals are important too, don't get me wrong, but allergies are a life or death situation. I look forward to seeing it. I would definitely buy it. Dear Martha,

I only recently discovered that I am gluten sensitive (after 5 miscarriages and no clear reason until now). Only after going off of gluten as a trial did I realize that I have had this issue my entire life and had NO idea that what I was feeling and how I was digesting food was not normal - my chronic sinusitis is gone, I am sleeping better, I have more energy, oh, and digestion is easy now - no belly aches, no tums. I think there are many millons of people out there who are in the same boat and over time will start to realize they have food intolerances, and having this publication available will be a godsend to them - in fact, it may help some folks realize they have these intolerances and suddenly feel better and heal lifelong ailments. The reason so many people who voted heard about it from food intolerance support boards is because it is so difficult to get information on how to cook, dine out, etc - we are a very strong connected group, but we are just the beginning- expect more and more to be diagnosed in the next few years. While going off of gluten was scary for me, I have never looked back because I suddenly have more energy, absorb vitamins taht never seemed to "work" but now do, and hopefully I will be carrying a pregnancy to term. Bravo for moving forward with this idea. I am so happy the food alergy publication won. I only recently discovered that I am gluten sensitive (after 5 miscarriages and no clear reason until now).

My son in 17 yrs and for the last 3 yrs he has suffered with eczema (skin becomes red, oozes and crusts over, then peels) after eating anything with any amount of dairy. It has been extremely frustrating to remove these products from his diet, since dairy is at the top of his list. This idea will help mothers, such as myself, to find new hope and give them back the joy of cooking/baking something tasteful for a family member who feels trapped by food allergies. Thank you for helping an enormous audience. Michelle M., Kona, HI Dear Martha,
