Hey everyone! I'm u/sagescott, a founding moderator of r/alphagalrecipes.

If you're here because a tick bite has turned your entire relationship with food upside down, welcome. This is a good place to land. And if you've been living with alpha-gal syndrome for a while and you're still figuring out what to cook on a Tuesday night — also welcome.

What this community is for:

This is a place to share recipes, ask ingredient questions, and cheer each other on when something actually turns out delicious. Alpha-gal syndrome affects everyone a little differently, so you'll find a range of approaches here — from strict avoidance to navigating personal tolerances. Be kind about that! What works for one person may not work for another, and that's not a character flaw.

A few ground rules:

• Share recipes you've actually tried. Notes on what worked (and what didn't) are always appreciated.
• Label claims aren't medical advice — including anything shared here. Always read your own labels and work with your allergist on personal tolerance questions.
• Be generous with encouragement. A lot of people find this community when they're overwhelmed and hungry and a little terrified. Treat them accordingly.

Now, what are you cooking?

My herb garden is out of control, so I made dill dip. It takes about five minutes to make and works equally well with with regular or dairy-free sour cream. The remaining ingredients are all alpha-gal friendly.
