You would probably do well to browse through the local bookstore. Even if you can't find a cookbook solely dedicated to the foods you can have, you might find one with a number of recipes that look good to you and within your ability. In particular, check out the cookbooks designed for students, beginning cooks, or those with little time.

Another possibility is to go with allergy cookbooks. I have two: Food Allergy Survival Guide and Allergy Cuisine. However, I generally just pick out the recipes I can have from my other books, making substitutions if possible. I've only made a couple things from the first book and nothing from the second yet, though, so I don't know if I can give a ringing endorsement :lol: You can look at reviews at Lame Advertisement.

What your best bet would be is cooking lessons from a good chef (note-- not a cook. This is where it is better to go for a Gordon Ramsey than a Rachel Ray). They know their ingredients inside and out and can help find something that you can eat that will keep you healthy. Some places to find these are by looking for a culinary school in the area and then calling their information office to see if any of the professors give private lessons or specialize in food allergies.

Hi holdthegluten - That is a beautiful baby - is it yours?

For cookbooks I've read good things about these; (excerpt from the www.seattletimes.com)

"Allergy-Free Cookbook: No Eggs, No Dairy, No Nuts, No Gluten" (DK Publishing, $25) by Alice Sherwood is an indispensable guide for anyone learning to live with allergies. It's full of recipes and useful tips for shopping and traveling. But it's the chart for substituting ingredients that will transform your kitchen and cooking.

"Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Cooking: Over 200 Delicious Recipes to Help You Live a Healthier, Allergy-Free Life" (Marlowe & Company, $16.95), written by Gig Harbor resident Susan O'Brien, is a real cook's book. O'Brien's creative recipes make eating healthfully both easy and enjoyable.

For an easy resource, try the blog written by the Gluten free Goddess- Karina, who has celiac and many more allergies than just dairy and soy. Her blog is fun (well, for me anyway) but she takes some of the stress and worry out of cooking if you're new to it.

Good luck!

Another book would be: Cooking Free, by Carol Fenster, PhD. This book has 200 recipes for people with multiple food allergies including alternatives to gluten,dairy,and sugar.

I've purchased most of my books used on-line thru Amazon. Some of the new books are shipped free and the price is very reasonable.

Your local library may also have many allergy type cookbooks. You would have to browse thru them and pick which recipes would work for you using substitutes.

Also, google dairy,gluten,soy,etc. free and check out the results. Many free recipes on line. Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link

Narrow your search on these website by using the words gluten free, etc.

Cooking Free by Carol Fenster has gluten, dairy, egg, and sugar free recipes. She does use soy (in the form of tofu) frequently as a dairy replacement, but most of her recipes don't have it.

my nutritionist published a book i really like - it is mostly gluten, dairy, soy free - I can't verify right now because I loaned it to my parents. His website is "wholelifenutrition.net". He has some sample recipies on his site.

Good luck.

Oh yeah, also, raw food cookbooks can be helpful that way - though they like to include raw soy sauce, it can be avoided quite easily. And any time they call for soaked oat groats, you can use soaked buckwheat groats. You have to be willing to eat raw, though. (I have been and it's going very well so far.) Ani Phyo's cookbook is great, and Raw Food Real Life is pretty good too. Ani's is simpler.

Good luck.

I would suggest "Cooking Free", too. My husband bought it for me last Christmas--it's very good :)

If there is a Whole Foods store by you they can help you with things like that. And I know the one by me offers a class every month!

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
