what would you eat?

[Deleted User] · July 2013

I have a little bit of time (a week or two) to get my shit together. I found out yesterday that both P & I have food intolerances to wheat, gluten, dairy, and eggs. I will need to cut these things completely out of our diets, but I know we will both feel so much better.

ANYway, what would you eat on your last week of food that you love but have to give up? It can't be chocolate though, because DS gets the banshee screams if I eat it.

GO!!

Some really good ice cream. The really high butterfat kind like Haagan Dazs. You'll never get that flavor and texture out of non-dairy ice cream. Just don't eat it before bed.

Bread. I lurve me some bread! I think there are gluten free kinds though (or at least gluten free flour)

Yum! Maybe I will make a nice loaf of bread! Eat it with plenty of butter. Mmmmm

Bread, cheese, and eggs. Like a mcmuffin but better.

mydixiewrecked · July 2013

a really decadent cheese fondue and a black olive tapenade with crusty bread.

Mexican food. All day. Every day.

Taco, enchiladas, burritos, chimichangas, mexican beer, carne asade....

Speaking from the other side:

Bread. Good, good bread. Fresh loaves of French bread that are crusty on the outside and oh so warm and slighty chewy on the inside. Restaurant bread bowls. Fluffy white bread that doesn't cost $5 a tiny loaf.

Omelets. With cheese. Cheesy omelets.

Take out. Order every meal you can this week, and get it delivered. Delivery flies out the door when you cut those things out. Chinese food with lots of gluteny soy sauce and egg noodles. Pizza with extra cheese.

Pastries. Yummy little bites of sugary goodness that all have either gluten, dairy or egg in them.

In all seriousness, if you want tips, PM me. I am currently gf, as is DD. I have been both dairy and egg free in the past. It's not hard once you get used to it. It's not even all that sad once you realize how much better you feel, but there is a learning curve.

French bread. Fresh. (I do have a recipe and make my own, but it's so not the same as just being able to buy that shit).

Not that you can tell what I miss most from my post up there.

Manateearmz · July 2013

You are so strong. I couldn't do it.

Well, I kind of don't have a choice. It's not like I'm trying out a new fad diet, ya know?

EMOmamma · July 2013

When I had to go dairy and soy free the things I missed most were cheese and any eating out. You're pretty much fucked in the restaurant dept so I would get your fav take out right meow!

The only thing on your list of foods to give up that I eat is eggs, so I feel your pain.

Biscuits. OMG I miss biscuits. They are just not the same when gluten free. Also diner pancakes. And a maple bar. Also falafel sandwiches. Maybe a calzone? Also bagels.

This may be an overwhelming amount of food, but these are the ones I miss and have a hard time replicating.

Eggs benedict for a four in one hit.

I have an awesome recipe for biscuits...do you bake?

Just as an FYI you should slowly eliminate foods (gluten anyway, not too sure about the others) or you can get withdrawal effects and feel lousy. To answer our original question eggs Benedict for sure.

tbmadeamistake · July 2013

I never got withdrawal symptoms and I quit all of those cold turkey. This is the second time I've heard of the withdrawal aspect, I need to go google

Karschingham · July 2013

Definitely pizza. When I had to be dairy free, I would just craaaaaave pizza.

Yeah, I'm supposed to start with that will be the easiest. That will be dairy.

Hey, did you do this for your kid? How did it affect her? I mean, if you don't mind me asking. Like mood, bowels, etc.

[Deleted User] · July 2013

Yeah, the bread substitutes will be fine/easy-ish. The no cheese will be a bitch long term because I love it so. But no goat or soy as a substitute, so it blows.

kikalynne · July 2013

One of my nanny kids is gluten free and has a dairy intolerance as well. There are some surprisingly delicious alternatives out there. The GF bread is expensive but really quite yummy. They make some great GF beers (for you, obviously). And the dark chocolate SILK milk is delicious. They even make it in little juice box-like containers.

I'm really sorry about no cheese. That sucks dude.

Yes, we found out my dd has celiac too. Luckily my son doesn't and he eats gluten. It was pretty easy. She wasn't eating a terribly large amount of gluten containing foods-she's always been a predominantly fruit, veggie and cheese eater so it only involved switching her crackers and pasta. She was struggling with chronic constipation and it went away after taking away gluten. She also made a number of gains developmentally as well. Good luck!
