Topic: Allergy Support Group / Coping with Multiple Food Allergies

My husband, who is 2 months shy of 76 years old, has had hives all over his body since last Thanksgiving. He was diagnosed this past Thursday with multiple food allergies – 14 different things. The ones that cause most concern are milk, eggs and wheat. Our allergist gave us 3 pages of things to avoid in these catagories and we can deal with that. Our biggest problem seems to be what to have for breakfast without eggs, wheat or milk. For two days now, we have eaten oatmeal. He never used milk on oatmeal before, so that is not a problem, but what do I do when he becomes bored with the same thing every day. He is also diabetic, so he cannot just do without breakfast as he said he would do. To keep him motivated, I told him I would only eat whatever he eats. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
