Hello LISTSERV,

You have been a great help to me. I was wondering if those of you that
are more "experienced" would be so kind as to help me with my new "food
life-style" and challenges.

THE FOLLOWING ARE MY RESTRICTIONS:

no gluten, wheat and their derivatives 
no corn products and their derivatives
no white (wheat) vinegar
no yellow (wheat vinegar) mustard

no sweeteners, including "artificial sweeteners" like Nutri-Sweet &
Splenda
no alcohols of any kind
no balsamic vinegar (too much like a concentrated sweetener)

no cow's-milk dairy
no soy products
no beans and legumes


THE FOLLOWING FOODS ARE ALLOWED IN MY DIET:

different varieties of steamed rice (when my stomach can take it...I can't
digest those grainy gluten-free breads and tortillas) 
cooked potatoes (always work!)
red bell peppers, carrots, and grapes (always work!)

Westbrae "unsweetened" Unketchup with "fruit juice" & "apple cider
vinegar"
yellow mustard made with "apple-cider vinegar"
Trader Joe's Mayonnaise made with "lemon juice concentrate" & "apple-cider
vinegar"
Bubbies pickle relish: "vinegar-free, sweetener-free, and gluten-free"

"Stevia Clear", honey, and pure maple syrup (the only sweeteners I can
handle)
apple-cider vinegar (the only vinegar I can handle)

MILK: goat/sheep/buffalo dairy products (cheeses & yogurts are ok)
EGGS: hard-boiled & poached. . . (scrambled & fried eggs...tend to get me
sick)
MEAT: beef, chicken, turkey. . .(baked, boiled, or all natural cold-cuts
are ok...fried, burnt, or grilled meets get me sick)

SOOOOO........what do I eat? I'm afraid of eating food. 
Every time I eat something new I get sick. So all I've been eating for the
past 2 months "with success" is hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs, goat yogurt,
red bell peppers, grapes and carrot sticks with my own thousand island
dressing I've made from the above condiments.

But I don't know what "else" to eat.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm really starting to get tired of eating hard-boiled eggs, goat yogurt,
and veggies.
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions. I will post a summary.

with MUCH appreciation, Ona Evans
