Argh I know nothing about dairy and gluten free diets, I did find myself in the Free From aisle in Sainsburys today so that is worth a look as they have alot of gluten free products

I think you will be ok to drink Whisky

…my two go to recipe sites are GoodFood and Happy Foodie because they’re such simple to follow recipes plus they do many one pot/traybake types as well, which are perfect…Nadiya also does dairy free and gluten free as well, I think and she tends to simplify as well…so her recipes are worth a look…

…I will speak to some friends as well who have diet requirements and ask them for recommendations as well..

…I’m going to try that chickpea and sweet potato curry and the Spicy Lentil soup for lunches…:love:..

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

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.

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

Thanks, they sound good. :love:

Will check them out. :love:

What did the doctor say, fatty change your wicked ways

Omg!!

Don’t worry Kate it’s only me

:joker: :wavey:

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

My nephew who is 6 has the same problem

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

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

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?

I don't think so but they sound great

They are glorious, as are quinoa crisps.

I want to try these.

The first time I saw them I was like no way

…yeah I very rarely eat crisps but when I do, these are the ones I have…

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.

what's the dairy free cheese like?

I had the cathedral city one. It’s pretty good to be fair.

Does it actually taste like cheese?

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

…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…

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.

…that really is terrific, Gusto…you’ve adapted wonderfully to a new eating plan, which is quite a challenging thing…great job, you…:love:..

Thanks. :hee::hee:
