New...anyone else dealing with foold allergies?

New to the website and curious to see if anyone else is trying to loose weight why dealing with food allergies to the biggies: Gluten, Dairy and etc.

Look into Paleo, I don't eat dairy or anything with gluten in it ... just meat, fruit, veggies, nuts and beans ... that's pretty much it...

Thanks! I've been gluten free for 5yrs, and dairy free for almost 3yrs, but found out my hormones were contributing to preventing my weight loss. Frustrated when I look at all these weight loss websites and the menu plans are all geared for regular people with no food allergies. And all my friends that are gluten free, are having the OPPOSITE problem, need to gain weight (if only), so it's frustrating not having people get the struggle.

My diary is open if you want to add me, you can see what I'm eating. It's generally a lot.

I am 100% nut free, tree nut free, soy free, and egg free (95% of the time, only eat in baked goods). I am also usually dairy free, but have been experimenting the past few days with it and lets just say my stomach is not very happy.

The only thing I drink besides water is coffee. Luckily, my stomach is able to handle non-dairy creamers so I put that in my coffee. If I need a dairy alternative, I use Vance's Dari-Free. It is a fat-free, casien-free non-dairy milk alternative derived from potatoes. It sounds gross, but it works well. I do not eat it plain, but it tastes like the milk left over in a bowl of sugary cereal (from what I can remember). Usually though I do not cook with dairy. For butter, I use the soy free, dairy free smart balance. As for eggs, I use egg replacer when making baked goods. The worst allergy is soy by far. It's in absolutely everything, soy protein especially (salad dressings, broths, bbq sauces, breads, deli meats etc.). I can have soybean oil and soy lecithin though.
