My mom had developed irritable bowel disease, which has
radically changed what she can and cannot eat.

Do any of you have favourite websites/recipes for cooking
for a person who must stay gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-
free and chocolate-free?

I'm accumulating recipes slowly, and devising my work
arounds, but it is presenting some challenges.

I've had ulcerative colitis since I was 14 years old and was
told to stay away from caffeine, sugar, spices, sodium,
dairy, chocolate, fiber, god, I can't even remember now!
I've gone and done so many trendy diets since then, but I'm
improving. Best ideas are to fully cook veggies, avoid tomato-
based sauces (those can *still* do it to me), and eat
chicken, fish, pork, shellfish and red meat in small
portions. If she gets overly full, she'll have an episode.
But really, it's not that hard! If your mom likes cheese,
hard cheeses are much easier to digest. So go with Parmesans
or even Swiss; it's easier than mozzarella or cheddar.
Believe it or not, you have TONS of options. I know you
don't think so now. I've been eating this way for over 20
years and I've actually come to prefer it. If I eat over at
someone else's house, I just explain that I can't have that
certain thing and I explain why. Most people have heard of
the disease and they'll be more than happy to get you
something else. Things to definitely avoid? Mexican, Chinese
and quite a bit of Italian. Those always get me. I also
can't do strong garlic, onions, or very herbal foods. Bland
is better. Because I've been forced to eat this way I can't
palatably stand any salt, spice, herb, whatever, although my
stomach can *now*. I've managed to settle things down.

Please encourage your mom to stay as stress free as
possible. Tell her to eat low fiber, low salt, low spice
foods (also avoid heavy carbs like rice & oatmeal, does it
EVERY time to me), no caffeine, learn to like Sprite and 7-
Up, stay away from salad bars and processed foods, no
preservatives, and always, ALWAYS be near a bathroom! LOL

Good luck!

Believe it or not, it's easier than you think...

Just eat nothing but real, fresh foods. Fresh meats, fresh
veggies, fresh fruits.

Cook the meats and veggies of course. <G> Watch the higher
cellulose ones tho like Brocolli, Cauliflower and all of
that family. I can't tolerate cucumbers.

No additives, no pre-prepared boxed meals.

Cheese in VERY small amounts seems to be ok for me.

Works for me..... I've had IBS since I was 12. That's 30
years. Took me awhile to figure it out but now that I've
switched over to that type of eating, I'm pain free most of
the time unless I get under an excess stress load, and Noni
leaf capsules help with that.

Good luck!

There are plenty of references on the Net, try googling for
some. I did last year for two visitors that sprung it on me
as a challenge.

Try using Coeliac as the spelling as that is what I think is
used in Europe

Coeliac and IBS are not the same thing, but it can still
be helpful.

Since discovering my Gluten intolerance I've had to learn
how to cook all over again and I like spicy foods. Home
cooked mexican food is my savior, Chinese food also, just
get gluten free tamari from your health food store. I
recently found a gluten free (it doesn't say it but the
ingredients are safe) Hoisin sauce, which was wonderful
smeared on salmon before grilling it over coals. All kinds
of peppers are on my menu including Habanero. Use masa
flour for wheat flour when you need to bread fish or
cutlets. Cross contamination is the enemy, you can't use
wooden spoons used for other cooking. Any surface must be
wheat free, a toaster cannot be used for both Celiac and
Wheat bread. Chips in Restaurants are corn but the grease
is contaminated by frying breaded things, also the fries.
Do not lick envelopes they contain gluten, now I use a dish
of water and wipe with my finger. Cookie sheets used before
can be used if you line them with parchment. Read labels,
MSG is made from wheat, Kosher sausage without grain
fillings are ok, most Hot Dogs and sausage is not ok. Gram
flour (garbanzo flour) make a great substitution for a
flour gravy. Get some books "Against the Grain" at a Health
food store. I now use tapioca flour, Quinoa flour, amaranth
flour, corn starch, masa harina, potato starch, sorgum
flour, Xantham gum and make crepes, waffles, pancakes and
scones that are as as good as wheat ones. These supplies
are available if you are in the US at Kroger, Health Food
stores and asian Markets. The gluten free mixes are good,
the gluten free bread and frozen dinners suck. The gluten
free stores on the internet charge waaaayyyy tooo much. You
don't have to pay an arm and a leg to maintain this diet,
but there is a lot to learn. Rice noodles are good they
cook quicker and so are Quinoa noodles, the corn noodles
are hard to work with and have a pastey texture. Spice
mixtures like curry do not say wheat but they use is al a
lubricant in the spice chutes, so I make my own curry
mixture and masala. Every now and then I have to have fried
chicken or fried fish and hushpuppies just use Quaker
Harina instead of white flour.

Good luck DaveR

Katra, funny, I have colitis and I can't eat fresh fruit.
Sends me immediately to the bathroom. Fresh veggies tend to
do the same. I thought IBS and colitis were very
similar.........

Have her send an email to: [email hidden] and tell him
she wants to sign up for celiac list - it's invaluable.

I doubt they sprang it on you as "a challenge" -- are you
sure they didn't tell you because one of them is coeliac?

Quoted message said:

That's correct.

For the record, I am wheat intolerant but not coeliac. I
cook a lot of Mexican food at home (no flour tortillas), and
a lot of stir-fry, curry and the like. Risotto is OK too, so
if they like Italian food you have an option there.

My "IBS" went away completely when I stopped eating wheat.

That's not to say it'll do the same for anyone else,
necessarily -- just a datapoint.

FWIW, I started with this recipe fromceliac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodid=625&p_catid=53&sid=91hH9H0-
8CMn3d8-34104100740.a0

"This recipe comes to us from Betty Doubravsky. "My wife
entered this in the Dolores County Fair here in Colorado and
won three ribbons ." - James
1/4 cup salad oil ( I use olive oil ) 1 beaten egg
2/2 cup milk 1 1/2 cup GF flour* plus 1 1/2 teaspoon
xanthan gum
3/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoon baking powder dash of salt

Combine salad oil, egg, and milk. Sift dry ingredients and
add, mixing will. Pour into greased 9x9x2 inch pan. Sprinkle
with Spicy Topping* and bake at 375 for about 25 minutes.

* Spicy Topping:

Combine 1/2 cup GF brown sugar, 2 tablespoons GF flour, 2
teaspoon ground GF cinnamon , 2 tablespoon melted butter,
3/4 cup broken nuts (your choice ). This is best fresh,
however if any of it does make it through the first day, it
never makes it through the second."

Then I changed it.

New ingredients:

2 large apples
1/4 c. apple juice
2/3 - 1/2 c. brown sugar cinnamon and nutmeg to taste

1 cup chopped walnuts (I bag) brown sugar to taste 3 tbp.
butter 1 cup whole walnuts (1 bag)

I subsituted an equivalent amount of applesauce for the oil
and doubled the recipe. Makes it low fat, produces a
slightly different but still agreeable texture.

I baked it in a 9" spring form pan, let it cool and then
sliced the cake in half horizontally.

I popped the two halves back under the broiler, to crisp
them up. Think twice baked, like biscotti. When toasted, I
put them aside to cool.

I pared two large apples, diced them, and put them and a
little apple juice in a small pot, bringing it to a slow
simmer. I added about, oh, a half cup of sugar, cinnamon and
nutmeg to taste, and cooked until the apples were tender. I
then scooped some of the juice back up, and blended it with
tsp of tapioca flour. I put that back in the sauce, and
cooked/stirred until it jelled up.

I melted the butter in a separate pan, added the chopped
walnuts, toasting them lightly, then added the brown sugar,
cooking long enough to caramelize the sugar.

Back to the cake.

I applied half the apple topping to the first cake layer,
and then put the top back on. I applied the remainder of the
apple topping to the top of the cake, smoothing the excess
jelled juice down around the sides. I then smooshed the
caramelized walnut/sugar mixture to the sides of the cake,
applying evenly all the way around. I garnished the edge fo
the cake with the whole walnuts.

It looks smashing. Tastes great.

Maybe you didn't have IBS. Celiac is constantly being mis-
diagnosed as IBS in the US. Today, doctors are still only
diagnosing Celiac as 1 in 4-5,000. The results from the
Univ. of Maryland and the Univ. of Chicago after looking at
some 13-15,000 people have now placed the rate of Celiac at
1 in 133 in the US.

That is a serious number as it is now twice the rate of
Europe that traditionally had a high rate of 1 in 250.

Exactly my point. That's why I put it in scare quotes.

I'm sure it is. I'm not in the US, however.
