Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Have had allergy tests with a view to curing my rheumatoid arthritis. Need to avoid for 3 months nightshades, grapes, soy and other pulses, some nuts but not cashews and almonds. Am finding meals a real struggle as I get bored with just vegetables, as much as I love them. Does anyone have any suggestions, dinner is the worst. Avoiding these foods along with being gluten and dairy free is really difficult. I am missing my potato, tomato and tofu heaps. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Sweet potato, yams and winter squashes work well in any recipe that uses potatoes. Grated beets (raw and/or cooked) work well instead of tomato. The flavours are all a little different of course, but they are excellent nutrition and your immune system will appreciate the break. :-) Deborah Have had allergy tests with a view to curing my rheumatoid arthritis.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Have you looked at " raw food " websites and recipe books? They will not have very much gluten, soy, pulses, or potato. They will have a good number of nuts, which you can sub seeds or your legal nuts. You'll need to watch for peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, etc. but If you can cut the major allergens out, that will be a help. Here are some nightshade free recipes you might be able to use/modify: http://www.gloriagilbere.com/PotatoAlt.htm http://www.gloriagilbere.com/TomatoAlt.htm http://www.marksdailyapple.com/healthy-tastes-great-no-nightshades-in-sight/ Some other cuisines to look at might be vegetarian sushi, Indian (see spice mixtures here: http://freckledfacemamarecipes.blogspot.com/2009/01/im-back-with-homemade-coconu\ t-yogurt.html), smoothies.
