What I'm eating

Oct 25, 2007 09:12

With my stomach being so weird, and not being able to eat gluten, dairy or eggs for several weeks, I'm having fun (more or less) trying to figure out what to eat. I'm in the first phase of being gluten free, and my nutritionist said not to worry about soysauce and other "hidden glutens" for now, until we figure out if it's really gluten. Lately, my ( Read more... )

I don't need to reiterate that everything but the rice & peanut butter came from the greenmarket do I? :)

Have I mentioned that the one thing I'm hating about this travel schedule is not being able to do the greenmarket? *sigh* I'm glad you're finding good options. You really are taking charge with this, which is so awesome.

FWIW, my sister is very sensitive to hidden glutens. Kikkoman claims their soy is gluten-free, because the proteins have been fully hydrolyzed by the fermentation process, for example, and she won't eat it. My mother's experience has also been that small amounts can make you just as miserable as large amounts.

Depending on the restaurant, they may have tamari (which is almost always gluten-free).

I know a lot about hidden glutens (I have a number of friends and relatives who have chrones or celiac), but the nutritionist feels it would be best for me to slowly ease into this and see if there is a general improvement after six weeks of not eating "obvious" wheat & gluten products.

estoile cooks dairy, gluten and egg-free for her son. Want I should point her in this direction?

Hi,

I'd love it if you posted a few recipies! I have a source for a GF flour, and I'm in the "testing phase" so I'm not yet sure if it's the gluten, the egg, the dairy, or all three that's been the trouble :( So, for now I just need to get through the first six weeks. Then, I'll see what next.

I don't really eat lots of bread anyway, so, that's no big deal.

But some cookies would be fantastic. I like having a sweet in the afternoon and not being able to is making me mad. Also, some breakfasty items would be great.

I'm good on the savory stuff mostly. It's a bit of sweet that I'm missing awfully :)
