Please help me get my dh gluten free.

[Guest guest]

I've been vegan for many years and gluten free for a year. My dh has

ulcerative colitis and he is in really bad shape right now. He

cannot tolerate any fruits and only a few veggies so he eats a lot of

junk. He is not going to give up meat any time soon (if ever), but

he is willing to try to go gluten free. I am really happy about

this! Dinner is fine because he can just eat what I fix for ds and

myself. I have no idea what to feed him for breakfast, lunch, and

snacks.

 

He leaves for work at 5:00am and eats breakfast in the car. So, he

is usually eating pop tarts or toaster scrambles. The only thing I

can think of is gf muffins. I've never made them, but I'll try. I

guess I could make some kind of biscuit/meat thing too. Oh, I'm

cutting him off of dairy as well. I used to not feed him meat but,

last year he lost over 30 pounds in one month while having a flare up

so I have started making meat for him (gag). What other kind of

breakfast things can I make that won't be too messy?

 

Lunch and snacks will be an issue as well. He works for FedEx. He

cannot eat in the truck and sometimes does not get a lunch break. He

was taking pb and j sandwiches, but he's tired of them and I haven't

tried to make bread yet. For the past couple of weeks he has eaten

hot pockets. Like I said, sometimes he cannot get back to the

station to heat things up. I just don't have a clue as to what to

send for lunch. I would love some ideas. Last year during the

summer he would take an ice chest with lunch meat sandwiches, but

sometimes they were getting too hot (we live in Louisiana). I just

don't have a clue for lunch ideas.

 

I'm not even going to list all the junk he eats for snacks, but they

will have to go too. LOL

 

I would greatly appreciate any ideas!

 

Thanks,

Shannon

You might try the recipe files in this group. There are a lot of good recipes.

For breakfast, I like the Scrambled Tofu recipe. I make it a week ahead and

freeze them . Take one out each day and " nuke " it. I also like Cooking Free by

Carol Fenster, Ph.D.

 

For snacks, I take fruit like apples or bananas. apple rice cakes, Stretch

Island 100% vegan no sugar added fruit leather, boxed raisins. I have access to

a microwave at work, and take " last night's " dinner leftovers and canned fruit

that I put in a different container. Hubby does the same thing for work lunches

as I do. He eats what ever GF thing I cook for dinner. I am sure his snacks are

questionable. I don't even ask any more. You can only control what is eaten

inside the house.

 

 

Hope it helps.

Good Luck.

I second Fenster's book. The cornbread is very dependable in my experience

and makes good muffins. You could bake up lots of muffins and have them in

the freezer ready to grab. Can he tolerate nuts? They're a great carry along

snack. When we were eating meat, but gluten free, we would often just eat

deli meat rolled up, no bread at all. To beat the heat (and I must say it's

hysterical to think of this right now. I'm in Boston and it's about a

million degrees below zero today) keep bread in the freezer. The sandwich

will thaw by lunchtime. Heck, you could freeze the whole sandwich.

 

 

 

Can he tolerate beans? Thermos of soup? I like to toast chickpeas until

they're crunchy and have them as snacks. We like corn tortilla/refried beans

tortillas-they'd be fine for breakfast. Popcorn? Aren't' there some " just

add hot water " gf/vegan soups?

 

 

 

I hope being gluten free will help him heal so he can tolerate some other

good foods.

Soy nuts make a good snack.
