no wheat, gluton or dairy

Over the last 5 years my sister has cut out all dairy, gluton and recently wheat from her diet. She has had stomach pain forever and cutting these out makes her tummy not ache anymore.

But now she lost so much weight and looks sick, like a skeleton. She is also having martial issues so she is stressed out. Im becoming increasenly worried about her health.

Is there a website or magizine that has food recipes with no wheat, gluton or dairy? All she eats is fruits veggies nuts. She isnt much of a meat eater..

    Ummm... Has she been to a doctor about the stomac pain and what could be causing it? There is a simple blood test to find out if you have Celiacs can't eat glutten. Wheat has glutten in it but rice does not. If she doesn't have Celiacs it could possibly IBS? Really it could be any number of things.

    For now look up IBS and a fodmap diet. There are also cookbooks out there with all glutten free recipes. Supermarkets sell glutten free food.

    My close friend shed so many pounds quick after he was diagnosed with Celiacs , and stopped eating glutten. After finding more things he could eat and playing around with his diet he gained a few pounds back, and is healthy, but is no longer heavy like he was.

    I'm sure being stressed about marital issues plays a BIG role.  Have you asked if she was talking to a doctor?  I made vegetarian tacos that were very yummy - you can get gluten free tortilla shells too.

    Has she seen a GI doctor to get an accurate diagnosis and/or a nutritionist to help with building a balanced diet?  It sounds like she's not getting enough protein and possibly not the right balance of fats (way too much polyunsaturated and omega-6).  If she won't eat much meat, does she eat meat substitutes?  Quorn makes gluten/dairy/soy free ones that I like.

    Paleo and Primal diet websites would probably be helpful for recipes since they don't use wheat or other gluten grains, and many do not use dairy either.

    Here are a few I like:

    My guess is that her weight loss is more due to her marital stress, than to her wheat, gluten and dairy free diet. I have a friend going through marital issues, and she has lost tons of weight this past year, just from stress and anxiety, it makes her have no appetite, and she was small to begin with, now she's tiny. Your sister should see a doctor, or a marriage therapist or counselor!
