@msrobotics Dear Friend, I have had OAS for over two years now and can tell you it's very complicated. It's more than just raw fruits, vegetables, and nuts. It's how your food is processed, stored, and cooked. For example, the coffee bean would be a typical allergen for us. However, it goes through so much transformation to end up in the ground state, that your immune system will never be able to read its protein and mistake it for a tree pollen. So I do lots of reading on MS Copilot (or any AI tool) to determine what's safe for me. Another example is bread. As long as it's white and has been thoroughly cooked, it might be safe. That's because there are no granules left that contain pollen like multi-grain bread. Best of luck!

@jwfletcher Unfortunately, regular pasta has not been the case for me and has likely been my biggest issue since I was a little kid causing me to always be hot. We never knew I had allergies, just asthma. Like you, I only found out about the allergies in the last two years.
