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!

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

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