Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Welcome in here with us, I sure hope after you browse the recipe files you can come up with some good recipes to use. It has to be hard trying to plan your diet out. Especially with a husband that doesn't care to eat veggies. Hang in there. Enjoy time spent in here with us.

Soooo, I have to avoid (translates don't eat this unless you like pain) all meat, poultry, seafood, all beans (including soy beans from which most veggie burgers are made), all peas, mushrooms, asparagus, spinach, cauliflower and any other food that has purines in it or that basically has any taste. That leaves um, let's see . . . lettuce and not much else (slight exaggeration, of course) It is complicated, because the diabetic diet seems to be diametrically opposed to the gout diet. I can't be a real vegetarian because I can't/shouldn't eat some of the foods that you substitute for meat. I am also clinically positive for Lupus as well as have degenerate joint disease all through my spine. It was thought that I also had pernicious anemia, but it has been determined that it is an absorption problem and not actually pernicious anemia. I guess that's a good thing. I found a recipe for burgers that I want to try that uses ground up veggies, but my husband won't eat the way I should and I am NOT cooking two meals every night! For anyone who may not know, the gout diet says 50%+ of your diet should be carbs, but I have to count/limit those for the diabetes. Gout says avoid whole grains and diabetes say avoid white flour. I told Chanda that I joke and say I am on a medication diet because I take 19 pills a day, not counting pain meds. I've not found much that addresses these two medical issues at the same time so any ideas/suggestions that anyone has will be appreciated. Linda I was born in a cross-fire hurricane And I howled at my ma in the driving rain, But its all right now, in fact, its a gas! But its all right. Im jumpin jack flash, Its a gas! gas! gas!
