Anyone out here live a Gluten Free Life?
 

I am just curious if anyone here is living a gluten free life. I ask since my girl friend was just diagnosed with celiac (gluten allergy). She is having a great deal of trouble since she is already a picky eater to find things to eat. If anyone out here is I would love to get some ideas for quick meals.

Have a good one! Cheers.

Picky eaters with dietary restrictions is tricky.

Here are 2 sources you could try:

Akins Diet- These recipes are all cab free so no gluten. She could add a potato or rice for her crabs.

Asian food- Many Asian dishes use Rice as there primary starch so there is no gluten problem.

There is a good fried rice thread here, that is quick and essay.

Two dishes that a friend of mine has made (he was on Akins) that were quick and yummy.

1.

Replace pasta in a meat sauce with egg whites (these should be hard boiled and cut up)

2.

Now this one is a little strange but I love it and make it for myself.
Ground Turkey burger with slice of red pepper and mustered
Rapped is Seaweed paper (the kind used for Sushi)

Good luck

Thanks Clark... for some reason your recipe links are showing up.

It is just a challenge since I eat everything in sight. She she was just diagnose with this allergy it is a bit of a challenge. She has developed slight reactions to many things which include eggs, nuts, and soy. All problematic, but we are slowing finding things that work.

Thanks again.

The Atkins book has some good reading about food allergies and how to identify what foods cause negative reactions.

I am gluten free!

I am not gluten free, but I did work in a kitchen that catered to quite a few gluten-free people. Granted I am typing this drunk and high, it could be a teeny bit off.. so


Anyways we used to cook a dinner that consisted of 4 seperate courses. We therefore had the ability to cater to everyones needs. Gluten Free people cake alot, and we would bake or cook a variety of things for them to eat. Basically we subbed 'rice' products as much as power. Soy also works well. From muffins to a starch alternative with their lamb chops.. we did it all. Feel free to reply here or PM me. (hopefully I'll be sober!)

Good Luck!
