My fiance' Alex has a number of allergies. He has celiacs disease, but also is allergic to nuts, eggs, dairy, casein, green beans, on top of all of the grains. I've cooked for him occasionally, but not on a regular basis since we don't live together. Here is my question... After we get married and move into our new home, how can I balance his allergies with my own diet? Should I give up these things as well? Is it unhealthy for someone without allergies to go without all of those things? I think my plan is to switch to a gluten free diet, but to keep eating eggs and small amounts of dairy, since it will be easier to keep dairy from getting cross-contaminated into his food. Any help or advice would be appreciated! (Also, Alex has said that I don't need to cut out anything from my diet that I don't want to, but I really would prefer for our whole kitchen to be accessible to him... and to only cook one meal instead of two).

I think it's all about compromise. He has such a diverse number of allergies that it will be hard not to cook different meals on occasion. As time goes by you'll have go-to recipes that you can both eat and then there'll be others where substitions have to be made. You'll figure what works as time progresses. Enjoy the process!
