Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 OK, I'm going to try this again: Can somebody kindly direct me to a vegan/gluten free diet book. something simple. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 How does one obtain sufficient amounts of protein eating this way? My doctor says I need 20 grams of protein at each meal.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 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.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 You can also purchase vegan protein packs at a health or wholefood market.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 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.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Are almonds a complete protein? Does it matter? I've always been concerned.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 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. Pam On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 7:55 PM, D GRADISKA <allegria47 wrote: > > > ITS JUST NOT ENOUGH FOR ME. I EXERCISE A LOT AND LIFT WEIGHTS.....

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 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.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 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....

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.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 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!
