First, you need to call your doctor. Typically, only a few beans are tested because that covers all of them, essentially. If you react to one type of bean, you're more likely to react to beans X,Y,Z. But you need to contact your doctor to see what those will be. Also, if you react to some legumes, there is always a chance that you will react to more, either now or in the future. So no matter what, I'd eat beans with care. Re: the beans - it WAS an allergy test, yes? I only ask because if it's just stomach pain and cramping, there are other conditions that can cause this, such as fructose malabsorption if you react to oligo fructans (which beans have). Re: recipes - here's the bad news, because the answer is, pretty much, a big fat no: there are no sites that cater specifically to these allergies. There are also no brands that do this, either, although EnjoyLife is close: it is free from gluten, dairy, eggs, nuts, peanuts, and soy...possibly shrimp, too. Legumes, they may have. Enjoy Life brand just does goodies, though, like chocolate chips and cookies. For everything else, condiments, sauces, and so on: for the most part, you'll have to make it yourself. They simply don't make these with more than one or two allergens in mind, that I've seen. Olive oil is a good bet for oil, because here in the USA they sell enough that a facility is likely to be ONLY olives and nothing else. Corn oil, vegetable oil, and others can be grain, and therefore gluten, contaminated, so not as good. You can also purchase your own fat from a butcher - you may have to request it ahead of time - and render your own tallow or lard (tallow is from beef and sheep, lard is from pigs). There are sunflower butters that may be peanut free, but you can't use the brand I'm most familiar with, Sunbutter, because they are now adding soy. :-/ I believe there may be other brands, though. Tinkyada pasta is a rice pasta that might do nicely - just cook it in half sauce, half water, for a better flavor. Otherwise, it's more bland than regular pasta. coconut aminos is the name of a sauce that is a good soy sauce substitute - you'll find it in health food stores near the soy sauce. This is going to be a HUGE change. The amount of time you will need to spend cooking is about to triple, if you wish to eat good tasting food that you were used to. Recipes will need to be substituted a lot, or made up completely on your own. A few exceptions: raw food recipes - Any Phyo is a good start for this. These will be vegan, so no eggs or dairy or shrimp. They don't involve cooking, or much cooking, so they are often grain and legume free. Nuts are often used, and soy sometimes, but the recipes are useful for ideas about how to substitute to make things creamy, or how to bind foods together, that sort of thing. African recipes - many of these are free from many of your allergens. A soft, flexible fermented bread from Ethiopia (Injera), is like a sourdough crepe, essentially. You have to find traditional recipes, though, because new ones add wheat. Asian recipes = a lot of these may be free of your allergens, if you make the sauces yourself. That's what you'll find a lot of: needing old, traditional recipes that use the most basic ingredients. How to make tomato sauce, homemade candies (really easy, actually), homemade mustard (also easy), blend your own nut butters, and so on. It can be done, truly, but it's going to be a long, long process. Don't give up, though - you'll get there. Good luck!
