    Try the cookbook "Appetite for Reduction." It is low fat vegan. Many of the recipes are or can be made gluten free. I've made many of them and they are creative and tasty.

    Good luck!

    If you doctor has you on this for an extended period of time I would get a new doctor. There are alternatives for wheat and meat to get your nutriants but you need dairy. It's on the food pyramid, the government doesn't put that out just for fun.

    Sounds like a renal diet maybe?? My husband is on the same thing and really has to watch his phospherous. The National Kidney Foundation has all kinds of resources. I hope this helps!

    Dairy is overrated. why are we the only species on earth that drinks another animals's breast milk. not to mention that there are many alternatives. And are you aware that approx 75% of aults in the world are lactose intolerant? Many comes from african and asian countries. Japan has highest living age and does not have as a population as many with osteoporosis.

    I would say that wouldn't be forever. And dairy doesn't mean all dairy- maybe he means no cows milk or lactose? If that's the case you can have goats milk or something instead of cow milk or get something with less/no lactose (the sugar in milk). Also why no meat??? surely he doesn't mean no meat at all, there is all kinds of red meats, and white meats + seafood.

    I don't think "no wheat, no meat, no dairy" is a very educated thing for a doc to say with little explanation or suggestions for alternatives, or even telling you to go see a dietician! 2nd opinion for the WIN!

    I have a very inflammed stomach so these foods create more acid in my stomach which leads to further pain and discomfort. im sure its not forever but until told otherwise i am going to stick with it. i have been eating this way for a few days now and can already feel an improvement.

    Very true! There is nothing unhealthy about the diet that your doctor recommended. Quinoa is a great alternative to grains but you can manage quite well on other proteins, fruits and veggies. Soy, almond and rice milks are satisfying. I truly believe that I feel best when not taking in dairy and having very little meat.

    There are so many alternatives today! Even in regular grocery stores. There are breads made from rice and other substitutes, even pizza wheat and dairy free. Tons of meat substitutes with soy, etc. I've lived without meat for 30 years with only great health to show for it. Dairy is over-rated as many have written here, and there are soy cheeses and yogurts. These are readily available and delicious if you feel the need to keep them in your diet. Once you start looking you should find lots to choose from.

    Have you been tested for Celiacs Disease??? It can be done by a blood test and really a colanoscopy is the true way to determine if thats it. I was diagnosed with it over 2 years ago because I had extreme stomach pains and also pains in my lower back as well. It took them over a year to diagnose me because at first they did think I was lactose and tolerant. But a blood test determined I had Celiacs. I stay away and Im highly allergic to wheat, barely, rye and oats but dairy is a huge part of my diet sometimes it can affect me if i have too much of it at one time but again with not being able to eat wheat a huge part of peoples everyday meals dairy is the one thing that I enjoy eating. Also I can eat any type of meat Im just cautious of the seasonings I put on it.
    I would ask for a second option or simply ask for doc to do a blood test for Celiacs. I had no idea thats what I had and once I got on a gluten free diet and have stayed on it religiously it has made me feel 100 times better!!!
    Goodluck and I hope all worksout for u!
