Going shopping today for my elimination diet. It says to buy avacados. But not really sure how to eat them.

Any ideas?

Also, what do you make with tapioca flour? Its on the list.

I think eating salad is the way to go. Not sure what to use for dressing. Can I use oil and balsamic vinegar? Please don't say just oil. :(

Can anyone give some creative tips for my very limited diet?

What do you do with a bunch of fruit?

Same question with a bunch of veggies.

How about sweet potatoes.

I really am stuck. Please help :huh:

You just eat it :D

Avocado - add some salt, grab a spoon, eat (yum). Or, put them on your salad. They make the oil and vinegar dressing creamy and good. Hmm, I put avocadoes on everything, but I'm not sure what else you can eat.

Veggies - steam them, grill them, roast them, sautee them, eat them raw. Organic veggies are good just as they are. You don't need to do much to them.

You can chop up sweet potatoes and bake them in the oven to make sweet potato fries.

I'm not sure if I'm really answering your question, but hopefully that helps a little.

Salad dressing? Sounds yummy. How do you do that? Just mix it in?

Thanks for the suggestions. You kinda helped. :D

When I cook the veggies... am I adding anything to them? honey, nuts,..... um.. I just don't know what I can have. All I know is it is very basic and I hate broing foods. I would rather not eat. Like today, I haven't eaten anything yet cause I have nothing to eat. I have food. It's just boring. I need to sweeten or spice or something. I can eat raw veggies and fresh fruit but that wont last two weeks. I'll end up starving myself and the diet will be a waste. :(

Yup. You just mix the oil and vinegar in with your avocado and other veggies. As you toss the salad, the avo blends with the oil and makes a good creamy dressing. If you can have honey that's a good thing to add (wisk it into the oil and vinegar before you add it to the veggies). Yum....and not at all boring :D

Aren't sweet potatoes considered nightshades? I haven't been eating them because I react to regular potatoes, but I haven't tried.

I have been using red wine vinegar from Wal-Mart with olive oil on my salads. Yum. The vinegar is labeled gluten-free.

The Elimination diet says no potatoes but sweet potatoes are ok. It also suggests eating them very often. That does sound kinda strange huh? I hear bad things about white potatoes. So, maybe you should look into that. You might be missing out for nothing. :(

I'll chck out the vinegar thanks

Hello there!

I'm afraid I don't know what's on your elimination diet, however, I recommend an avacado and tomato salad (cube both fruits, drizzle w/ olive oil, lemon, balsamic and sea salt - if your diet allows, throw in some feta cheese and some olives). As for sweet potatos, I like to slice them up, arrange on a cookie sheet, spray them with olive oil, sprinkle sea salt and coarse black pepper, and pop them in the oven for 15 minutes. Hope this helps a bit :)

I love avocado with salsa with chips or crackers and slicing up avocados dipping them with olive oil and sprinkling seasonings and baking them like a french fry.

For sweet potatoes I use this recipe a lot

Baked Cranberry with Sweet Potato

1 Cup fresh Pear, chopped big

1/2 Cup Raw Cranberries

3 Tablespoons Orange Juice Concentrate

1/2 Cup Dates, chopped

1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. allspice

2 large Sweet Pots, cubed

Combine all ingredients and place in a baking dish with cover. Bake at 400 degrees until soft, about one hour depending on your stove. and serve hot.

On a strict elimination diet, you're not going to get a lot of variety, and that's one thing that can make it really really hard.

As for avocados, I love eating them plain. :)

I love avocados plain, with some salt. Yum. I also like them with tomatoes and cucumber.

You can bake sweet potatoes and put some butter and cinnamon on them.

Fruit -- if you cut it up and put it on a plate it makes it nicer to eat and seems like it is more varied. Can you have nuts? They're good on a fruit salad, too.

For veggies, you can cut them up and stir-fry them in oil ... or lightly steam them and serve them over rice ... make salads .... toss some steamed veggies into some rice pasta with olive oil ....

I am with the rest of you, I love avocadoes plain too!

They are great as guacamole (mash them up with tomatoes, cumin, onion if you like S&P). If you can eat rice and beans, it goes GREAT on top of that, makes for a great and filling meal.

I also like to make green smoothies, as an interesting way to get my greens... take a handful or two of spinach and blend it up with fruit of your choice. I like to do apples and bananas or pears. Add water to thin it out. Blueberries add great taste too. It is surprisingly yummy!!

Hope that helps too!

Grumble grumble grumble . . . yeah, I remember looking them up. Sweet potatoes and Yams are not nightshades but from different families of plants. Didn't matter in my case, Sweet Potatoes made me sicker than potatoes did . . . sigh . . . But avacados are a wonderful food. When I can find good ones I eat them on or with everything. I make a cheese and avacado omlet. I love it in salads or cold pastas, or just as a side dish sliced with salt and garlic powder.

You can beat or whip sweet potatoes like you would any mashed potato. Add br.sugar and butter.

I have a yummy recipe somewhere from allrecipes website (type avocado in the search box) for a stuffed avocado- it was kind of a lot of work to chop everything, but they were a HIT at my SuperBowl party one year- since everyone seemed to be on a diet and shunning the chips and sandwiches.

Rock on Sweetfudge! I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as too much avocado! They are fantastic in a green smoothie and make it creamier. If you google greensmoothie, you can find all sorts of recipes.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Martha Mitchell · Posted

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
