Need recipe ideas pls

[Benjamin]

Been told by the doctor not to eat gluten or dairy for the foreseeable future. (:bawling:)

Anyone got/know of good recipes for dinners (can be meat/vegetarian/vegan)?

[Kate!]

Don't know recipes but we are on the Keto diet which means eating meat and virtually nothing else. Get some chops, bacon n sausage.

We do gluten free products in our factory.
It's a good range.

[Benjamin]

Just did a Tesco run. Pasta etc wasn’t too bad, but GF bread is extortionate! Decided to get GF flour and will my own.

I think you will be ok to drink Whisky

Perfect. Will just do whiskey for dinner. :laugh:

Don’t worry Kate it’s only me

[Benjamin]

What did the doctor say, fatty change your wicked ways

No, sadly not. I’ve had a bad tummy for a couple of weeks now.

[thesheriff443]

My nephew who is 6 has the same problem

[Glenn.]

My mum has colitis so I’m always looking for food she can’t eat.

[Niamh.]

Sorry I have none Ben however I may try Glenn's spicy lentil soup, love me some lentils

[bots]

dairy is fairly obvious and easy to avoid. Gluton is basically anything bread based, so it still leaves a bunch of options. Avoid restuarant food and takaways unless you know exactly what you are getting. Everything else is easy to substitute or avoid

Have you had lentil crisps?

[Niamh.]

Have you had lentil crisps?

I don't think so but they sound great

[Benjamin]

Have you had lentil crisps?

They are glorious, as are quinoa crisps.

[Kate!]

Have you had lentil crisps?

I want to try these.

[thesheriff443]

The first time I saw them I was like no way

[Ammi]

you can live on equal proportions of lentils and rice and it dirt cheap. Lentil soup is my absolute favourite and it is extremely good for you

Luckily I love lentils and my love for rice is back after years of back packing and overdoing rice dishes. :laugh:

Just had a sandwich with gluten free bread and dairy free cheese (plus meats, salad, hummus). Was actually ok. The bread not as soft as regular bread, but I can look around for better quality.

Does it actually taste like cheese?

[Benjamin]

Does it actually taste like cheese?

Yeah. Not a strong as cheese (usually have vintage/extra mature), more like a milder variety.

[Ammi]

…there are some great flourless cake recipes as well…Nigella and Mary Berry both have great and easy flourless chocolate cake recipes, if I recall…

[Gusto Brunt]

As a recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetic, I have recently turned to having at least 80% vegetables with every meal I eat.:shocked:

I can't really have milk. Maybe just a tiny bit with one cup of coffee in the morning. Just one cup of coffee per day.

But this mostly all veg diet I havn't lost weight but my blood sugars are really good. Only 5.3 glucose reading this morning which is terrific for a diabetic. :p :D

Sorry I can't help.
