Gluten Free, Lactose Free, Egg Free And Yeast Free

Ive been gluten-free for months, so thats not a problem but very shortly I am starting a detox/cleanse diet to try and re-build my body with good bacteria and starve out my yeast infection....(on the recommendation of my natropath)....

Im terrified though - what can I cook for dinner?

Breakfast, lunches and snacks should be ok - I'll just live off smoothies, fruit and salads but what can I have for dinner?

gluten-free pasta should still be ok and rice but iver never been good at making things from scratch - im a jar/can/packet mix kinda girl!

Please help! Does anyone have any tasty/easy meal ideas?

Thanks

Erin

p.s - Sorry, I should have specified before but with this detox/cleanse diet I will not only have to be gluten free but also lactose free, egg free and yeast free....*sigh*...im not looking forward to it! I guess meat and veg or spaghetti with home made sauce?

Soups and gluten-free bread?

Plain meats are safe--it is the seasonings in prepared meat that could be a problem.

Plain vegetables and fruits are inherently gluten-free. Choose the ones you like, and add only seasonings you know are safe. Pure herbs and spices are gluten-free. Avoid prepared seasoning mixes. Butter and margarine are gluten-free.

A baked potato is easy to make and is gluten-free. Garnish it with butter (or margarine), chives, bacon bits, cheese or sour cream. All of those are gluten-free.

There are lots of gluten-free pasta products available.

Just a few ideas off the top of my head.

i've been craving a nice hot bowl of chicken and rice soup the past few days, so that's my suggestion. boil some chicken legs/pieces in water for half an hour. remove from water, take the meat off, then throw the bones back in. add chopped celery, carrots, onions, maybe a little garlic, and boil for an hour or so. shred the chicken, cook up some rice, and add that. hm, now i might just have to go make some :)

maybe some fish/chicken w/ steamed veggies. squeeze a little lemon juice on top. or a shredded chicken salad. my husband's fave meal is chicken (w/ some herbs or spices) and potato wedges (tossed in a little olive oil, salt and pepper, baked for half an hour).

good luck!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
