Subject: Special Diet Group?

Hello!  I am new to BigOven, but am loving it so far.  My question is if there is any way to categorize a food as an allergy diet, or Chrones friendly, or something along those lines.  This is the only special diet category I can find.  My son is on a special allergy diet to determine which foods he is allergic to.  A friend of mine has a son with Chrones disease and his diet is similar.  I've been going through my recipes and re-creating them using allergy/chrones friendly alternatives with great results!  I'd like to post them for anyone else who could use them.  They are wheat, gluten, dairy, egg, citrus, peanut, chocolate, and pork free.
 
Thanks!
Chelli

Sounds like you have made a lot of progress!
 
You can do this using tags in BigOven.  Go to the Notes/Tags tab,  click the Edit button,  type the new tag in the box ("Crohns", maybe), and click the add button.
When you post the recipe to bigoven.com, that tag will be there.
 
You can start a new Crohn's disease discussion group, and include your recipes in that groups.  You may be able to attract other interested people to discuss Crones disease-friendly cooking in your new group, with everyone's adapted recipes as a focus.  To make it easy for you and everyone else to search by tag, you need to be sure to spell your new tag the same way every time.
 
You can use the "more options" screen of "Find Recipes" to search specifically on tags, in order to turn up, for example, only those turkey recipes that have the "Crohns" tag.
 
Good Luck!
P.S.  You can also get "how to" help from the creator of bigoven in the Forums.  Click "Help" on the red bar above, or go directly to the forums
