Alpha-gal-friendly recipes without mammal meat
Alpha-gal syndrome is an allergy to a sugar found in mammal meat and products made from it. These recipes use poultry, fish, seafood and plants instead, and avoid gelatin. Some people with alpha-gal also react to dairy; tell the app if you do.
What Gluten watches for: beef, pork, lamb, venison, gelatin, lard, beef stock and, for some people, dairy.

Alpha-gal cooking questions
Is chicken safe with alpha-gal?
Yes. Birds and fish don’t carry alpha-gal. Watch for hidden mammal products like beef stock, lard and gelatin.
Can people with alpha-gal eat dairy?
Many can, some can’t. Mark it in your profile and Gluten will treat dairy as a swap for you.
