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!

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, ...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
