I always seem to be run down and feeling ill and while at the doctors the other day for DD i mentioned it to my Doc and she made an appointment for me, I went today and was told i should NOT be eating DAIRY or WHEAT!!!! i have NO idea about cooking or eating without these things....i eat alot...i mean ALOT of DAIRY and bread and pasta.
Im now sitting at home with a fridge full of stuff ive been told not to eat!!
SO....all those out there who have been doing this for a while, i would love some help!! DH said he would do it with me so i dont have to make two meals all the time, DD eats what we eat, but il carry on giving her dairy etc.
Ive googled a few things but it all seems so confusing! and i dont have time to sit on the computer all afternoon trying to get my head around it!
I know what i cant eat with Dairy and im not keen on soy + its so expencive and i know that some other things have dairy in them, but some good ideas for replacing wheat would be great.
Were you given a reason? did they at least do some tests?
there is a blog called gluten free girl which will help with the wheat free thing, there are a lot of gluten free recipes there. I don't know about dairy but I'm sure someone will be able to point you in the right direction.
Im going for some propper tests in a few weeks but in the mean time she told me to avoid them. i dont know but if it makes me feel better im willing to give it a shot. she was a bit dismisive about it really. like i should know not to be eating this stuff already!
after a bit more reading i have decided im going to keep a food diary and do my very best to cut these this out, but if i do eat something i shoudnt atleast i will have it writen down and il know if it made me feel bad. we will see. thanks pixie
If you dont like soy, have you tried rice milk? My sister used to be allerigic to dairy, wheat and soy amongst other things, and me being the chef of the family had to find some foods for her to eat.
Gluten free flours are EXPENSIVE I use almond meal or hazelnut meal, I manage to buy a kilo of that for 10 dollars at cash & carry.
There are many things you can eat, my sister ended up putting on 20kg when she couldnt eat certain things because I made her so much foods. Just try to use more fruits and veges in things. Julie Stafford has some great books with heaps of recipes. She wrote them after her husband got diagnosed with cancer, determined that eating healthier foods would cure him. And it did.
Other dairy substitutes.. Goats feta, canola spread instead of butter, Im pretty sure that there is also a dairy free tasty cheese you can get. Dont know where from though.
Hope this helps. If you need any recipes, let me know. Ive got a wheat free/dairy free chocolate cake that I make for my shop (secret recipe) but I'll let u have it.
Thanks for the advice poopie...didnt realise you could get dairy free cheese!! amazing. might hit you up for the chocy cake recipie if it all gets too much /
