Gluten-Free, Vegetarian And Paleo Meal Ideas?

Complicated, huh?!

 

I've been vegetarian for years and a few weeks before I was diagnosed my boyfriend decided to try the Paleo diet. It might sound a bit faddy but it occurred to me that there are perhaps folk here who have to follow a similar diet (no grains, dairy or potatoes) due to other intolerances? 

 

So between us, all grains, potatoes, gluten, dairy, meat and fish are out. Does anyone have any meal ideas that would fit this plan? We are pretty limited at the moment and would love some new ideas! Even grain/potato/dairy light would be good (as these are less of a priority to avoid). 

Look forward to hearing your ideas :)

You can't be both Paleo and Vegetarian as Paleo removes grains, legumes, dairy.  I think that leaves nuts and quinoa for protein sources - quinoa is not a grain, but some folks can't tolerate it due to the very high quantity of lectin.

 

You can be gluten-free and vegetarian or gluten-free and paleo, but don't see how you can be all three.

 

That being said - you can be gluten free, vegetarian and remove potato by replacing with sweet potato.

 

Is your boyfriend vegetarian as well?

 

Many of us with multiple intolerance due end up eating very similar to paleo, which includes meat.  In fact there are no other protein sources I can eat safely - and it is extremely limiting -- I don't suggest limiting yourself more than gluten-free and vegetarian during your early days gluten-free.

I make jokes with my husband sometimes about how I'm going to starve to death because I can't eat anything. This is always a joke because although I have vast intolerances there is far more I can eat. 

 

On the other hand, it isn't a joke when I saw your post and thought to myself that you really are in danger of starving. If not literally to death, at least to the point of  malnutrition and possibly hospitalization if you think you can be gluten free, vegetarian and paleo. It seems outright dangerous to eliminate nearly every source of protein in existence from your diet. Mostly, as pointed out, it's that you can't really be vegetarian and paleo at the same time. It just doesn't work since being paleo is almost the same thing as being a meatatarian.

If you have real intolerances, you should remove those foods, of course.

If you are a celiac, you need sources of protein.

Taking out meat, fish, dairy and legumes will make your choices extremely limited.

I respect being vegetarian, but you simply cannot be

vegetarian and paleo at the same time. That's contradictory. 

Paleo = meat.

I should have clarified - we are (very) long distance so this isn't a 24/7 diet. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas before we start eating separate dinners. I don't plan to starve myself (or him) to death. I was thinking along the lines of No Meat Athlete's 'The Paleo Diet for Vegetarians'. Obviously it's an adaptation which is why I said the Paleo bit is a little flexible.

One of my favorites is Cauliflower "rice" or "fried-rice" - there are many recipes out there for these.

I, too, was mis-diagnosed for over 30 years as having colitis and IBS.  I am new to blogging (no time) but found the Celiac.com site today looking for gluten-free recipes.  Any site suggestions for some?  I've been on a gluten-free diet for 3 years and have lost 100 lbs and all my "arthritis" symptoms.  I've got the "Wheat Belly" book and cook book but Davis uses more carbs than I care to ingest.  Any advice will be welcome.  I can't believe how good I feel living gluten free.

Very complicated.  :D I disagree that it can't be done, but it is difficult. I've been a vegetarian for five years now, but I'm probably going to start adding a little meat into my diet once I move back to the U.S. and can know with certainty where my meat comes from. I'd honestly rather not, but since going gluten free/egg free/dairy free, well, I've been hungry yo! And my body is telling me it wants something with a little more substance. 

 

Do you eat seafood? If so, I know a great recipe for Thai style mussels.  Open Original Shared Link

 

It's SOOO delicious. 

 

 

ANYWAY, if you are determined to do paleo/veg, here are a few places that I've found recipes:

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
