What could I be allergic to in my bolognese?

Allergies, blood and immune system

Hello all I am trying to figure out which would be the most likely ingredient that causes me body to become so itchy all over. I made a Spaghetti Bolognaise which included beef mince, tin tomatoes, mixed herbs (ie rosemary, oregano etc), black pepper, salt and pasta. I want to make it again and leave out a couple of things which are known causes of an allergic reaction making the body itchy? hope someone can help thanks

Hi mike,

I get this reaction with wheat and milk and to a lesser degree, chillies. So, I’d say try it without the wheat first.

For the spaghetti, there are lots of alternatives out there these days and supermarkets stock their own brand often (this is in the uk ) it cooks slightly differently so, add a little oil to the water and stir so it doesn’t stick together.

Hope that helps.

Hi Beverly,
Thanks, I dont think Spag Bol has wheat or milk in it?
Maybe theres some kind of Spaghetti I can try but without what in it I am not sure.
Thanks

Hi Mike,

spaghetti is made from wheat. It’s durum wheat usually. Alternatives are usually made from corn, rice other non wheat flours.

Thanks, could it be one of the mixed herbs maybe? Normally dont have any issues with pasta.
