Hi,

My family is gluten-free, soy free, casin free, legume free, and most unhappily nightshade free. Does anyone have any good substitues for tomatoes and most importantly spicy flavors like peppers. We used to eat hot food all the time and now are unsure what is ok and what to sub with. thanks for your help.

I don't know about tomatoes, but you could use things like mustard, radishes, and wasabi (which is a type of radish).

As for tomatoes, I think it would depend on the recipe. In general, they're sweet and acidic. So, I'd try to substitute their flavor components (at least if it's actually a "cooked" item and not raw item) rather than the fruit itself. Maybe a lightly sweet wine.

I use lots of LIME JUICE and CUMIN and CORIANDER yum. :D

Black beans... pinto beans both make good sauces if you puree them and add lime juice and cumin coriander and garlic. I eat lots of guacamole.

Do you like pineapple salsa? I make it with garlic, pineapple salt, and cilantro. it's yummy with chips!

I ditto the coriander and cumin. A lot of my raw food recipies call for those, and they are pretty good. Black pepper is, of course, okay. That's a tough one though, if you want the heat. wasabi, but that won't be any good in tacos.

Oh, mustard greens are really good. and hot. but only around right now for the year.

And brown mustard seed (already mentioned I think) and hot radishes - I ditto that. Arugula is spicy (also called rocket?)

Nomato replaces tomato sauce. The Gluten Free Mall carries it.

Thanks for the help,

I just bought coriander this week for a pad thai recipe that meets all of are dietary restictions and I love cumin but haven't been using it after I ran out, don't know why. I will have to locate a wasabi that is free of all the crap we don't eat. Hubby has been eating it, but it's not oK for my dd. I think the nomato has soy in it, which is a real bummer. I am dying to make pizza of something with tomato flavor.

Thanks again, let me know if you think of anything else,

No soy in Nomato. I dont do soy either.

Carrots, Water, Beets, Onions, Garlic, Spices. No Nightshades.

I just used it today to make a delicious italian soup.

ginger is pretty spicy. you can get ginger powder in any spice dept. or the actual root in the produce dept. it makes a lovely tea if you boil little bits of the root.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
