Added Antifungals in Shredded Cheese
Still missing something that is triggering an allergy... When I looked at the shredded cheeses, I noticed this ingredient: Natamycin.

I'll be shredding my own cheese, thank you.

High Tyramine?
Tyramine is a monomine compound that naturally occurs in foods. More prominently,tyramine is associated with migraines. Since Parmesan cheese is to blame for many rashes, I wanted to research chemical similarities between soy and aged cheese. At this point in my research, the link is tyramine. I am open to criticism or comments on this topic. Enlighten me.
A Whole New World, Literally
We do most of our shopping from fresh foods and the perimeter of the market. The basics such as cheese, milk, eggs, produce, and meat make up our basic shopping list. However, I decided to look into some kosher foods, after learning that many do not contain soy. After spending an hour in the global market, I noticed that each ethnic food group contains one or two new items for us to try, but by far the kosher foods present a huge find!
Another blessing of Passover!
