<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> July 23, 2006 Long Beach, CA 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 --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Get on board.
