### input:
I am an African American women who has suffered with asthma, wide spread eczema and allergies all my life. I have learned to cope, but my food allergy list is very long: shell fish, coconut, sesame seeds, quinoa, flax and every nut created. My allergy is so severe, I carry an injectory pin in case of emergency. I don t eat out because of unlisted food ingredients, utensil cross-contamination. Because of my dark skin, the scars and large white skin patches from childhood body rash caused me not to wear a skirt going on forty years eve though the rash has been arrested for many years. With the onset of menopause, my food allergy list grow longer, it includes corn, soy and wheat according to my doctor. My question is what food can I substitute for the above mentioned prohibited ones? Also, is there a procedure for evening out my skin? Any advise will be appreciated. Thanks, B.

### output:

Hello have gone through your question and understand your concern. Food allergies can give hard time, but there is always a substitute. The imitation crab meat available in the market including other imitation meats are loaded with chemicals and at least 2% of real meat which can evoke allergic reaction. Try using hard-boiled egg white, king oyster mushroom, Shitake mushroom and Japanese eggplant instead of shell fish. There are various newer methods to treat the hypo-pigmented scars but if only for cosmetic purpose the easiest and cheapest way to deal with the scars is camouflage. Use cosmetics or artificial tan for the purpose or consult a dermatologist for further examination and treatment. Thank you.
