Try Finding a Meal i can Actually Eat!!!

Baked eggplant with homemade marinara sauce? Black bean burgers with avocado (or skip the avo if it ties into one of your allergies)? Chickpea salad with diced cucumber and fresh herbs? Gluten free oatmeal? Homemade vegetable soup? Scrambled tofu?

You have it rough, that's for sure!

I'm not sure what GF pasta is made with, so maybe you can't have it, but I made a simple and tasty dish today;

In a pan on medium-high heat start to cook garlic until it's beginning to brown with a small amount of oil. Turn down heat to medium and add white fish (was cod in this case) chopped into small pieces, maybe 1'x1' (make sure even size). Put a lid on top, and start to chop cherry tomatoes into quarters. I used overripe ones, so they cooked really well. Add them onces chopped up, and also add any herbs you like - I love basil and parslea. Here you could also add snap peas or more greens to cook and add in. Once the fish is starting to fall apart you know you're done. I had this mixed into GF pasta, but you could alternatively have it with... hmm... that's a hard one. I am not sure what you tend to have as a carb. You could of course make this more into a soup and add sea weed, stock (or make stock since you have many allergies) etc

Get a bunch of ingredients you CAN have and play around.

edit: p.s. I love garlic so much so always have 2+ cloves in everything I cook (which is only ever for one hehe)

oh another one I thought of, my mum used to often mix a bunch of different beans (soaked or tinned) and mash them lightly with some tinned tuna and made them into little patties by grilling them or lightly frying them. We had Japanese bread crumbs on the outside, but I don't think they're necessary at all. Have it with and cooked veggies (pumkpin maybe?) also mashed and mixed in.

Tough list.

Soup au pistou. Essentially vegetable soup with a dollop of pesto in it. Skip the pine nuts and cheese when you make the pesto.

Stir fried tofu with black bean sauce and veg.

fruit salad, eggs and dairy, tapioca and pudding comes to mind.

Can you have sweet potatoes? Totally different species than regular potato so just wondering. I love them!

So basically i have about a bagillion allergies and simply cannot find many foods that i can actually eat to create variety in my diet....does anyone have any suggestions that fall within the following criteria (these are all my allergies not just 'foods i dont like')

Vegan
Gluten Free (im coeliac)
No rice
No potatoes
No spices (allergic to pretty much all of them)
No mushrooms
No pomegranates
No nuts
No goji berries
No raw veggies (my stomach reacts to them and make me throw up)
Cant have too much salt as i have a degenerative heart condition (from being sick when younger)
Generally needs to be high fiber because i have digestive issues (again, a legacy from illness)

Yep...i think thats about it...i really feel like im ending up eating the same thing all the time now

Any help welcome!
Thanks so much!

Wow you poor lass, I'm severly intolerant to onion leek and chive, mildly intolerant to garlic. Its a nightmare finding the right stuff to eat without any of those ingredients.....I also am a little intolerant to bread so don't have it all the time.

I could recommend things like free from gluten pasta, I find those quite tasty, and will eat them at home instead of normal pasta all of the time, also the free from spaghetti is good too. You could try something mild like the pasta with a bit of olive oil and herbs and whatever vegetable/meat you can eat, its nice with bacon and peas, you could add a dairy lea triangle or which ever soft cheese you eat to boost it up a bit. Of course you would have to look for the one made from corn and not rice as I see you are unable to eat rice too. I really feel for you! If I think of anything else I will let you know.

I also have corn bread, its like a cracker but made just from corn, and you can have anything on those, I've not found anything that doesn't taste nice on them, you could have pate, houmus, all sorts within your allergy limits of course. I have them with nutella but now I'm back on my calorie counting I have to limit that somewhat!!!

Like what another person has said protien can be good, nothing wrong with the occasional steak if you can't eat anything else......Good luck xx

EDIT: Just realised you are vegan sorry!!! If its by choice though with your allergies you might consider a change with all your limits.......but there is plenty of non meat meat around I think but I don't know alot about that.

Anything oat based. Home made oatmeal cookies and quick-breads or muffins made with oats or oat flour only. You can buy oat flour or make it in a food processor using dry oats.

If she's vegan I'd say the fish is a no-no!

How are you with lentils? I love those puy lentils, the fat green or black ones. They are really good tossed in a salad dressing.

ah yeah my bad, totally missed that. How on earth you can get enough protein I don't know. My sister has been vegan for some time but in the end she now needs to be eating fish to get more protein in her diet. You can get fish from sustainable sources if you look carefully. Fish are just fill of goodness, but I understand if there is an ethical thing. Everyone is able to make their own decisions

Fajitas should work. Sautee veggies you like in Pam and eat in corn tortillas. You can also make enchiladas with soy protein.
