Now I have 3 major things that are dangerous to me, Gluten, Corn, and Whey from dairy. I can deal with being around my other issues but these I can not.
Now keeping gluten out was pretty much eliminated awhile back after the burrito incident. IE I cater lunch every day and provide snacks to everyone.
BUT the sorry SOB keeps sneaking in corn syrup sodas or milk. I stopped going over there and helping my dad at his shop for fear of these. BUT I snapped yesterday and confronted him. I told him I would buy him cane sugar cokes and for him to stop risking my life bringing that s$#& in there and if he does it again I will have him sent home without pay. He flipped and started making excuses about drinking it for months and me not getting sick.....yeah I do not come over here. I told him the skin contact issue is just a rash, no big deal. BUT IF he opens one of those and it "sprits" and aerosols that corn syrup next to me and I inhale it then I get anaphylaxis. Then he starts up again, I shut him up by asking if he will pay the $1200-1500 for the ambulance ride when my throat swells up....then I go on to every detail of how you start getting the urge to swallow but can't then you have issues taking breath as it feels like your tongue is swelling up and going down your own throat. Your ability to take breath diminishes and gets harder. He then started offering to not drink anymore in the building and for me not to bother...I told him straight that was BS and he would give in and go drink them since he was addicted and he said yes.....so I bought him 2 cases for cane sugar soda and put in the fridge for him.....TIME will tell. 
Dear god between idiots like him and just finishing watching 12 seasons of SVU I am seriously losing hope in humanity. Don't even get me started on the inability to get people to donate to starting my food truck or helping when I was in need of medical services.

Can I assume that you keep an Epipen handy? Also, try to take it more easy on people who don't understand...especially if it's your dad. Acceptance of these issues is often a problem, even among close family members. This article we published in 2005 may be old, but still relevant:

Generic one I got for free, never had to use one.....all 4 reactions I have had before getting it I got through with liquid antihistamines and chewing pills. An odd method that requires a sound mind and control but doing so and letting it slowly work down my throat has opened it back up.  But I always keep shot bottles of liquid antihistamines and a pocket carrier with pills.  What really sucks is even after my throat feels weird, like hours of numb and pain and stays restricted.

      Peanut Butter cookies - on the crisp side.   approx 20 smallish cookies  1 C  plus 2 tblsp rounded. 'natural' peanut butter ( the kind you have to stir to blend the PB & oils)....  I know, it's a pain!! 1/2 c granulated sugar ....plus 2 tblsp dark brown sugar 1/4 c olive oil... plus 1 tblsp 1 large egg .....and 1 tsp vanilla 2 tsp cinnamon - optional but is yummy with the PB mix the above.  In another bowl mix the following dry ingredients: 1 cup brown rice flour  ( I use this  flour as it leaves no yucky after taste in my cookies & lb cakes..... and coffee cake, I buy it at the "Bulk Barn" here in Canada....... states side try health food stores??? I'm not sure where you can buy bulk food that also carries gluten free flours. 1/2 tsp baking soda.....1/4 tsp salt   (I use the pink sea salt) Mix well or sift, then mix with wet ingredients. heat oven to 350f, line baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll about 2 tblsp dough between your hands, place on cookie sheet and press down  with a fork.   The flatter the cookie the crispier it is.     Bake 13-14 min  When done leave on baking sheet till cool. Cheers, Florence

      I know it's after the holidays, but it would still be fun to do a cookie recipe exchange on this forum.

      I did talk to the nurse and she asked who told me no red meat.  I explained the person who called with the results of my blood work.  That was last week.  She told me the doctor was on vacation and would be back this week and she would talk to him and have someone call me this week.  I have not received a call yet.  I will call them back Monday as a reminder.

      Thanks for sharing the information. Vitamin is very important for our health.

      I shop a fair bit with Azure Standard. I bought Teff flour there and like it. they have a lot of items on your list but probably no soy flour, at least not by that name. https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/food/flour/teff/brown/teff-flour-brown-unifine-gluten-free/11211?package=FL294 As mentioned in another answer, Palouse is a high quality brand for dry beans, peas and other stuff. I buy some foods on your list from Rani. I've been happy with their products. https://ranibrand.com/ Azure and Rani often use terms that skirt around explicit "gluten free". I've contacted both of them and gained some comfort but it's always hard to be certain. FWIW, my IgA antibody levels are very low now, (after including their foods in my diet) so it appears I am being successful at avoiding gluten.
