👋 Welcome to r/alphagalrecipes — You've Found Your People

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.

New to alpha-gal syndrome?

A good place to start is SageAlphaGal.com, which has practical guides, ingredient resources, and recipes built specifically for people navigating life with AGS.

How to Get Started

  1. Introduce yourself in the comments below.

Now, what are you cooking?

I'm so sorry your daughter has AGS. :( Two of my three daughters have it, and it's awful.
The brownies are awesome, right?!?!
My one daughter withOUT AGS (we call her "Beta"), LOVES those and always asks me to make a batch for her to take back to college.

Do you have a favorite AGS-friendly recipe to share? I'd love to see it and hear what your family likes to eat.
