OK, I'm going to try this again: Can somebody kindly direct me to a

vegan/gluten free diet book. something simple. I don't like to cook. I just

want to find out the basics and take it from there.

 

Any help?

 

PS I'm not interested in sweets. I just want to know how to eat 3 healthy meals

a day that are vegan and gluten free.

 

Thanks,

Diana

Many Chinese dishes can be made vegan and gluten free - you just need to use

wheat free tamari sauce instead of soy sauce and mo meat. Also many Mexican

dishes can also be made GF and vegan - just choose those that don't have any

meat and leave out the cheese.

How does one obtain sufficient amounts of protein eating this way? My doctor

says I need 20 grams of protein at each meal. This is my dilemma.

All foods contain protein. Grains, nuts, seeds, beans are higher than

others, but everything has some protein. 11 almonds is one protein

serving for one of your meals.

You can also purchase vegan protein packs at a health or wholefood market. These

help to supply needed proteins for vegans and other nutrients.

Are you looking for menu plans? There really aren't any books on the market

that I know of. Do you have any other allergies/restrictions other than

gluten free and vegan? Do you require any special considerations like

diabetic, high/low protein, low fat, etc?

 

I've been working on some menu plans and I will try to help you work

something out if you'd like. Soy is the main source of protein for many

vegetarians but if soy is an issue it poses more challenges, but it's not

impossible. Anyway, if menu plans sound more like what your interested in

let me know and what restrictions you need and we can work out some plans.

Feel free to e-mail me off list if you'd prefer.

 

Take Care,

Are almonds a complete protein? Does it matter? I've always been concerned. Cuz

my diet consists of veggies, nuts, seeds, and the parmesan cheese I just can't

give up!

Beans should not be a problem for celiacs, unless you are intolerant of

them. Soy may be the exception, as some celiacs react to the soy proteins

the same way as gluten.

 

There are lots of ways to eat beans other than just rice and beans, you can

have a varied diet. Chili, curry, soup, sprouted, bean dips, bean milks,

bean flours, etc. If you don't want to spend a lot of time cooking, you can

use canned beans. I love my pressure cooker for beans.

 

Nuts and seeds, and nut and seed butters are a convenient way to get higher

protein without a lot of cooking. Trail mixes, nut bars, dips for

fruit/veggies, etc.

Diana,

there are hockey players, olympic athletes, and even triatholon people who

are vegans.

You might just need to check on the quality of your food and make sure to

get enough greens, as well as protein and carb containing foods...

Right. I spoke with my doc in California today - I'm in Colorado at the

moment... and he has suggested a number of supplements that have been shown in

clinical trials to help people like myself who have auto immune diseases.

 

you're right - it's a question of balance and understanding how to attain that

balance. I've suffered too long.

 

Thanks,

Diana

I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis a few years back. My rheumie

wanted me to go onto methotrexate or plaquenal. I refused them both

based on their side effect profiles and instead went to Dr Fuhrman for

a consult (via telephone).

 

His nutritional advice put my RA into complete remission and reduced

all my inflammatory markers to normal. My BP dropped from sky high to

90/60, and my cholesterol dropped to below 160 from over 260.

 

I am pain free and feel great.

 

His plan for me is as follows. (He has a standard autoimmune protocol

that he tweaks for individual patients)

 

Strict vegan (anyone wiht an autoimmune disease should avoid all

animal products at al costs as they are inflammatory)

No processed foods

No salt

No cafeine or alcohol

No sugar (this is a HUGE one for us. I even have to limit fruit to one

fruit a day - one per meal)

No snacking between meals.

No sprouts as they cause RA flares (don't know if this applies to

other autoimmune diseases or not)

 

avoid my allergens = gluten, dairy, soy, eggplant, potato and tomato.

 

try to make the core of my diet cruciferous veg with a special

concentration on the bitter ones like watercress, mustard greens and

turnip greens.

 

drink cruciferous juice twice a day. eat soup for lunch that contains

mustard or turnip greens (I make a delicious soup by cooking up a

quart of carrot juice, a pound each of collards/kale and mustard

greens/turnip greens, 3-4 large vidalia onions and 4 or 5 zucchini.

once cooked I puree it with 1/2 cup of cashew nuts to aid the

absorption of the nutrients. it's full of phytonutrients and tastes

wonderful)

 

eat a salad each lunchtime that contains arugula (and watercress if

you can)

 

eat watercress daily (I add mine ot salad and smoothies)

 

here's the only exception to the no animal products rule. he has me

taking 4,500mg of EPA and DHA combined from fish oil. Those of us

with autoimmune diseases often can't change DHA to EPA. I happen to be

one of them and vegan DHA does not help me

 

take a tablespoon of ground flax seeds a day

 

2 oz of raw nuts and seeds

 

high doses of probiotics daily

 

vitamin d supplement (check your status to see if you are deficient.

people wiht autoimmune diseases often are)

 

B12 shots weekly (this is specific to me as I have a peripheral

neuropathy of unknown etiology that is controlled by B12 shots and

alpha lipoic acid)

 

try to eat 2 lbs of leafy greens a day with as many of them as

possible coming from cruciferous greens. try ot ensure that every

mouthful of food is as full of phytonutrients as possible

 

limit grains and starchy veg (this is specific to me as I don't react

well to them)

OMG, Sherene, thank you so much for sharing this info with me. I am so

grateful. I'm printing out this info and incorporating it into my protocol. I

think you and I have a great deal in common.

 

Are you familiar with LDN (low dose naltrexone) which has been shown in clinical

trials to help those of us with autoimmune disease? Once I become healthier I'm

definitely going to try it....

 

Best,

Diana

yes, I am aware of it, however, I have no need for it because with

S,

 

My understanding from my doc, however, that LDN has shown less antibodies

attacking our organs. Have you heard about this. My doc also says LDN

increases endorphins which makes us feel generally better as well.

 

What does you doc have to say about LDN? I hate to take anything but its become

so bad with auto immune issues that I am obliged to take some drugs. I do find,

however, that if I stick to my vegan diet I feel considerably better than if eat

fish, meat, dairy, egg whites, etc.

he's totally against taking medications for autoimmune diseases. He

wow, you must be considerably healthier than I. Just a one day water fast

flares my asthma to the point of emergency room visits.

 

I guess we're all so different that we have to find what works best for us.

 

I do fast safely, but only one day and with greens and water.

fasting should only be done when your treating physician says you are

healthy enough to do so, when you are off ALL meds and have had at

least 6 weeks of a high phytonutrient rich diet and none of the triggers

That is awesome that this diet has helped with your RA. I too have RA, was

diagnosed in 2001. I noticed that being vegan and gluten free helps immensely. I

too have rejected methotrexate. But I am on Humira. It alone is working for me,

combined with being a GF mostly vegan ( I do eat eggs occasionally). But it is

good to know there are others going through this and that you aren't on any

medicines at all. Congrats to you both for being RA free and for sticking to

this diet, it doesn't sound easy!

try to eat 2 lbs of leafy greens a day with as many of them as

possible coming from cruciferous greens. try ot ensure that every

mouthful of food is as full of phytonutrients as possible

well to them)
