Answer 1

Indian
Indian cuisine is often vegetarian-friendly. Over 50% of all Indians do not eat meat and eggs, but they do eat dairy products. Many dishes contain milk, cheese or ghee (clarified butter). Indian breads are often topped with butter. Indian dishes are often cooked in ghee, which is clarified butter, so if you are a vegan you may want to ask whether preparations are fried in ghee or vegetable oil.


A potential problem with Indian restaurants is that it can be difficult to get a straight answer about what dishes contain animal products. I often ask several times to confirm that a dish is vegetarian. Indian servers often just give you a token yes to everything you say, just to be polite. Unless you ask the manager or owner, it can be difficult to get a straight answer about whether a dish is vegetarian. Even then I may be doubtful. This is a major reason, if you are a serious vegetarian, to avoid Indian restaurants that serve meat.


Naan bread sometimes contains eggs or yogurt in the dough, so you may want to ask about this.

Mulligatawny, a spicy lentil soup, often contains pieces of chicken and a meat broth.

Answer 2

Most people experience an adverse reaction to some food at some point in their life. This does not necessarily mean that the individual is allergic to that food. Food intolerances, including sensitivity to elevated levels of histamine in foods, can produce a response similar to an allergic reaction. Adverse reactions and suspected allergens can be identified through a detailed history and specific allergy testing by a physician or qualified specialist, to exclude other causes.
The difference between food allergies and food intolerance is how the body handles the offending food. In the case of an allergy, the immune system recognizes a chemical in the food (usually a protein) as an allergen, and produces antibodies against it.

A response to an allergen may manifest as:

• Swelling of the lips


Stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhea

Hives, rashes, eczema

Wheezing or breathing problems

Severely reduced blood pressure

Most common allergens are found in the following food groups:
1. Cows milk (especially among children)

2. Wheat (especially among children)

3. Soy (especially among children)

4. Eggs

5. Peanuts

6. Tree nuts

7. Fish/shellfish

8. Food additives (not true allergens, but capable of causing reaction or illness specific to a given person).

In most cases, children will outgrow their allergies to milk, wheat, soy, and eggs, but not to peanuts. Adults do not usually grow out of or loose their allergies.

Food intolerance is more common than a true allergy and does not involve the immune system. Intolerance is a metabolic problem in which the body cannot adequately digest the offending food. This is usually because of a chemical deficiency (i.e. an enzyme deficiency).

An individual with food intolerance can generally consume a small amount of the offending food without becoming symptomatic. However, that specific amount may be different for each individual. Intolerances, unlike allergies, seem to intensify with age.

Histamine sensitivity may be considered a type of food intolerance. Because histamine is a primary mediator of an allergic response in the body, consumption of histamine can elicit a similar response. Histamine toxicity is most frequently associated with the consumption of spoiled fish, but has also been associated with aged cheeses and red wines. Elevated levels of histamine occur naturally in these foods.
