I have an interesting family. My daughter and husband are dairy allergic. My son is celiac and egg allergy. We are also vegetarians. I found the the tofu pups at our grocery store and that made me SO happy to be able to give him hotdogs again! Burgers are a little harder. So for you vegetarians out there what do you eat? What brands have you found that excite you?

Can't wait to find out!

hi there! im vegan and had a hard time at the begining of being gluten-free because almost all meat subtitutes as you know are filled with wheat and wheat gluten.

the only "burgers" i have found that are gluten-free and vegan are SUNSHINE burgers. they are really good i think and they come in 3 flavors.. original.. spicy black bean .. and bar b q.

there are also franklin farms veggie burgers but they have egg whites in them.

ive been making alot of things with tempeh and started cooking with tofu a bit more.

i make a "chicken" salad with tempeh thats GREAT!!

i do tofu scram with veggies and salsa for breakfast.

i make stir fry alot. all different kinds.

i make "BLT"s with "bacon" that i actually make from coconut ( i know, sounds crazy!!)

"egg" salad with tofu and veganise.

all kinds of things.. i love sharing recipes so if your interested let me know!!

I am not a vegetarian, but I have a few products to recommend.

All flavours of McCormick bouillon cubes are vegetarian. Those flavours include chicken, beef, and vegetable.

Thai Kitchen has some vegan and gluten free food.

Natur-a makes some really good rice milk that is gluten-free, dairy free, and vegetarian.

My very favorite main dish salad salad:

Mixed baby greens

shredded carrots

chopped red pepper

chopped green onions

avocado chunks

canned or frozen corn

dried cranberries (I like the cherry--flavored ones best) or sliced fresh strawberries

toasted pecans

goat cheese crumbles (are you allergic to all dairy or just cow dairy?)

raspberry vinaigrette (raspberry jam mxed with olive oil, balsamic, salt and pepper) or

lemon vinaigrette (fresh-squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, a splashof balsamic, salt pepper, and sometimes garlic)

YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM :)

authentic foods makes a falafel mix, or you can make your own (garbanzo beans and bean flour) that works quite well for burgers. (I'd probably add black beans if I was making my own for a more burger-y taste)

WE also eat the TOfu Pups and I was so excited to find them. My son loves them. I am going to try and get the sunrich burgers.

We eat tofu stir fried vegetables, etc.

We mainly eat mexican food though or pasta's.

We eat alot of taco salads, taco's out of soft corn shells and crunchy.

We use Pamela's pancake mix.

Soups out of beans and vege's.

Baked potatoes.

I know this isn't much help. I have some recipes coming my way soon to make main entree's, so I will post them when they come.

It is challenging and I am not dairy free, but thinking about trying it soon. I have done it before, but not while I was also gluten free.

I really miss being able to have oats.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I don't eat meat often. My new sandwiches are corn tortillas with either homemade hummus or guacamole as the filling. Yummy.

I'm having this problem myself. Since my C-diff infection meat and I don't get along. I can eat a tiny bit every couple days but that's about it. But, my vegetarian options are very limited because I can't do legumes (beans etc) which is used so much! Pretty much my mom has been really inventive with tofu and I started using portabello mushrooms for my "burger" yeah it's a bit of a stretch!

Felidae, where are you getting the corn tortillas? The only ones I've found, I think from Planet Organic, are frozen and I have a heck of a time doing anything with them. They are too brittle. Maybe I got a bad batch.

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      My daughter also has it, and it's much better to discover it early. What was the positive level for her test? If she has over 10x that level, and you have celiac disease, I'm not sure if a biopsy is necessary to diagnose her. In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase...

      I forgot to mention that I also had to avoid eggs for a few years after initially going gluten-free, but could eat duck eggs without issues. Fresh duck eggs can often be found in Asian markets (be sure they are fresh eggs, because they sell various kinds of duck eggs that look the same like salted eggs, eggs with embryos inside, etc.), farmer's markets, and...

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      UPDATE: here I am a couple months past my full diagnosis and going gluten free. I’ve been feeling a lot better. More energy, joint pain has gone down a lot. Haven’t really had the headaches and migraines I’ve had for years. My daughter(age 17) has had some symptoms which we thought were something else, but with my diagnosis I said, have ...

If she has over 10x that level, and you have celiac disease, I'm not sure if a biopsy is necessary to diagnose her. In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children!

      I have increased my vitamin intake Vitamin B Complex plus 2 Thiamax, NeuroMag, Benfotiamine with breakfast. I continue reading and watching gluten free items that I eat. Breakfast is Bobs Redmill gluten-free oatmeal with Chobani zero sugar yogurt a banana and blueberries. Lunch since im at a deli gluten-free is hard to come by so I stick with turkey with gluten-free Promise bread. Dinner varies like gluten-free pasta, tacos, chicken, sausage, meat etc. rice or take out from gluten-free places. I have decided to stay away from gluten-free pizza as I feel I felt weird with it unless its store bought frozen. I am going to try to make my own gluten-free bread, Bagels. I have been good with baking gluten-free treats like cookies, muffins. Snacks if its not fruit, veggies I grab a protein bar or chocolate guilty pleasure reeses, hersheys, York PP. I am going to start to use my fitness pal app to track what I eat and note when I feel off to see if I can pinpoint if a trend of a certain gluten-free food is a culprit. I noticed once in a while I feel a little bloated, gassy that I think is from the pizza so I am going to avoid it and continue narrowing it down. I have been doing very well and I have learned even if you think you are doing everything 100% gluten-free eating it can sneak in without you knowing. This year is more traveling which im afraid of but have already looked into gluten-free places in Nashville which they have and back to Aruba I went last year and have the gluten-free places already selected. Most restaurants I have been to have been very helpful with what to stay away from to avoid CC. If a place states they don't have any gluten-free the I stick with a salad or when I took my kids to breakfast as much as I miss the breakfast this place serves I played it safe with yogurt and a fruit bowl so at least my kids were happy to go there again. Local farmers market has great gluten-free items that I treat myself to like different types of breads, baked goods. My journey continues...
