Hello

My blood test revealed a mild intolerance to coriander, cumin and
dill. I want to keep eating curries,and without these ingredients if
possible, but as I've not experimented yet, I'm a bit worried that the
curries will now taste awful.

Is there anything I can use or make as alternatives, or, could I do
without them anyway and not notice much of a difference?

Thanks in advance

Use a lot of onions, fresh ginger, black pepper and serrano/jalapeno
peppers(if you can tolerate the heat) and some turmeric, cinnamon,
cloves and nutmeg to make your curries. You will barely miss the
coriander/cumin at least in tomato-based North Indian dishes. For
South Indian dishes like sambhar/rasam you are out of luck, although
you should be fine if you can stick to the coconut based ones like
kootu/avial.

Good Luck,
Kamala.

Who made this diagnosis? Was it a medical doctor, or some
kind of "alternative medicine" practitioner, like a chiropractor,
iridologist, or naturopath? Was the diagnosis made with a
device called a Syncrometer?

The test you took was 100% quackery-ignore it and ask for your money
back!!!

It may have been a wide-ranging blood screen for allergens similar to one I
took a while back. They take 6 or 8 tubes of blood and then test it against
literally hundreds of foods, pollens, and other potential allergens. The
problem with this test it that it is totally chemical in nature - if the
allergen in question causes a certain reaction in a blood sample it is
labeled as "sensitive." I pinned my doctor to the wall to get a more
detailed explanation of the benefits. He admitted that a sensitivity as
revealed by this test often did not correlate with actual symptoms or other
problems experienced by the patient. It is more useful as a screen. If it
reveals a sensitivity to something then you can remove that from your diet
for a while and see if you feel better. If so, great - if not, then there's
no reason not to go back to eating it.

I'm so glad someone else asked this first :-) I wondered the exact
thing and also what it means to be "intolerant" (mildly or otherwise)
to a spice.

That's not a medical condition --- it's just good sense.
