Guest guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 Okay, I " m going to give this a try, gluten free and vegan. Can anyone help me make a list of some foods to start with? I need to avoid soy and nuts to start. After I clear my son's system in a week or two then I might try to add in almonds. Any ideas for foods to start? Thanks :} Kelli breastfeeding mom to allergic Cal 13 months, avoiding many foods for his sake and Emily 5, peanut and milk allergic as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Kelli, Keep it simple and enjoy: ~ all sorts of fresh and raw vegetables ~ fruits (raw and made into things like applesauce) ~ brown rice, quinoa, millet, and other whole grains (cooked and in patties, casseroles, etc. If the recipe calls for nuts you can usually just eliminate them without hindering anything) ~ potatoes; baked, fried, scalloped, steamed, boiled, etc. Have you had a chance to visit the archives for Vegan and Gluten Free? If you go to the " search " box on the message page you can type in an ingredient and get recipes. Or you can go to the messages # box and type in #1. That will get you to the beginning of the archived messages and you can see what recipes we have already posted. Scan them over and see if there is something interesting. We'll be happy to help you alter any recipes to eliminate soy or nuts.

YEAH!!! :-)) When I started, I lost symptoms I didn't even know I had until they were gone, because I had always had them and thought they were " normal " ! :-) >Can anyone help >me make a list of some foods to start with? Fruits: as wide a variety as possible everyday. GF whole grains: brown rice, buckwheat, teff, quinoa, millet, amaranthe Veggies: (as much as you can eat) leafy: lettuce and kal; tubers: beets, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnip; green and yellow: all the different types of cabbage, all colours of peppers, leeks, squash of all types (zucchini, pumpkin, acorn, butternut, buttercup, banana, etc). Legumes: (max. about 1 cup per day cooked to avoid overloading on protein) black beans, kidney beans, garbanzo, lentils, green and yellow peas (whole fresh or frozen, and split), etc. I'd suggest rotating them for variety... one day have brown rice, the next have teff, the next have quinoa, etc. Same with the legumes, one day have black beans, the next have kidney... etc. Generally, I like to have fruit and a grain for breakfast; fruit, veggies and legume for lunch; fruit for snacks; veggies and grain for dinner.
