What are your allergen-free food rules?

I found a fun blog post about gluten-free eating. The author writes down her gluten-free rules that she tries to live by.
Most rules have a positive spirit behind them that is refreshing to read. And they can be expanded beyond gluten-free.

Here are a few of them here:

• 6. If I feel horrible after eating something ... don't eat it anymore! Wait 2 weeks and try again but if I feel bad ... again ... end the relationship with that food! Find a new love !!! (the author talks about coconut milk ice cream, which I've written about before)
  
• 8. Be open to new foods from around the world. I might actually like something and connect with a culture via the food that I never knew about. My grandmother told me you learn something new every day!


• 9. Honor the food that I am about to eat with a moment to take in the palette of colors, aroma and the presentation of the meal. Thank the chef, (even if it is me)


• 10. Most of all ... Celebrate the foods that I can eat!
