The queen of healthy allergy-free recipes joins The Exam Room with delicious and safe recipes that anyone can enjoy.   Kayla Cappiello specializes in recipes that are gluten free and can easily be transformed into dairy-free, nut-free, low-fat vegan masterpieces.   Her passion in the kitchen stems from her own experiences with food allergies. The journey began with acute episodes that landed her in the emergency room after eating nuts as a child.   As an adult, she often felt sick and tired and had brain fog. Doctors were baffled by her symptoms before discovering that she has celiac disease and was lactose intolerant in addition to having the nut allergy. Even something as simple as a sandwich would knock her for a loop.   Kayla didn't want to stop eating all of her favorite foods, so she began to develop allergy-free recipes for the dishes she loved.   She joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about balancing making healthy decisions without sacrificing flavor and how her delicious journey has her feeling better than ever.   On This Episode - How to make any recipe allergy friendly - Replicating original flavors with gluten- and dairy-free ingredients - Finding strength to still eat healthy while struggling to fit in - The perfect gluten-free bagel - Plant-based cream cheese - Vegan Buffalo mac and cheese recipe - Five-ingredient banana bread recipe - Pecan-stuffed dates recipe - Healthy dessert recipes - Allergy-free Chinese food, including General Tso's and lettuce wraps - Tater-tot taco meat - Nice cream - And more!  — — OUR FRIENDS — — Kayla Cappiello Easy Allergy-Free Cookbook: https://amzn.to/3TOhbH7 Website: https://kaylacappiello.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kaylacappiello Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kaylacappiellomealprep — — KAYLA’S RECIPES — — Vegan Buffalo Mac and Cheese: https://kaylacappiello.com/vegan-buffalo-mac-and-cheese 5-Ingredient Banana Bread: https://kaylacappiello.com/5-ingredient-vegan-banana-bread-gluten-free Pecan Stuffed Dates: https://kaylacappiello.com/pecan-stuffed-dates-gluten-free — — UNIVERSAL MEALS — — Recipes: http://universalmeals.org — — THIS IS US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — - Exclusive early access to select interviews - Pre-sale opportunities for live event tickets - Exclusive live online events VIP sign up: https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — SUBSCRIBE & SHARE — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.
