What on earth do I cook for a celiac with lactose allergy as well?

Question

My mate can't stomach wheat (gluten or Dairy produce, so what wonderful cullerny dish can I dish up, oh by the way she also is allergc to shellfish :0(

Answer 1

there is a wonderful cookbook called "The Allergy Free Cookbook" you can very likely get it inexpensively on eBay. One of my daughters has celiac type allergies and is allergic to eggs and my other daughter has some opposite allergies on top of that I babysit a child who has completely different food allergies from my two. This book covers all th major allergies and gives suggestions for substitutions in popular dishes. This helps me a lot because I never know what to use in place of soething that I cannot use.
Also, check out Namastefoods.com they sell mixes for breads, pizza crust, muffins, etc that are all wheat, gluten, egg, dairy, potato,corn and soy free. This is wonerful because my daughter cannot have wheat or corn and many of hte gluten free products I find have cornstarch or corn productsi n them. The mixes they offer are really good too- you are definitely not giving up taste.
Another suggestion I have is The Gluten Free Gourmet books- she has some great recipes and when you learn what you can substitute for dairy you can really put these recipes to good use. DOnt be afraid to experiment in the kitchen.
If you like soy sauce (a big no no for a GF diet- try Tamari sauce in its place- this is good for chicken or beef stir fry with veggies- very easy to cook and my whole family loves it.
Marinate some chicken in Tamari and put it on the grill.
Pasta- instead of regular wheat pasta try Tinkyada- it is made with brown rice flour- it has a slightly different texture but tastes great. We generally use brown rice, brown rice pasta, and potatos as our starch, oyu can cook up any vegetable that is acceptable for her dietary needs and there are tons of ways to season and dress up chicken and beef- for gravies, use arrowroot and or any of the acceptable GF flours to thicken it up.
It can be very challenging but when you figure out and can focus on what you can use rather than what you cannot- it gets a lot easier
Another thing, if eggs are on the no no list, there are some pretty decent egg replacers out there - for baking oyu can even replace 2 eggs with 4 -6 tbsp of flax seed blended with 1 cup of water.
Coconut milk can be used to replace regular milk in almost any recipe.

Answer 2

You could make a vegetable risotto, that always goes down well in this house (we don't eat wheat). Anything with rice, basically! You could also get some gluten-free taco shells (made from corn) and make some tacos - fry some mince with the spices (check to see if it's gluten free) then serve with guacamole, etc. Again, it's what we eat :-)

Otherwise, how about a good old-fashioned Shepherd's Pie? Easy peasy and no gluten :-)

Answer 3

Baked chicken spiced with pepper, garlic, and paprika (McCormick spices will clearly list gluten if it contains any)

Tinkyada spaghetti with Ragu and a salad with a gluten free dairy free dressing like italian dressing (kraft)

Pork or beef ribs in BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Rays is gluten free).

All fresh vegetables are naturally gluten free and they can be prepared with dairy-free margarine, salt, and pepper. Most fresh meats are gluten free and can be prepared with a variety of spices.

There are recipes listed on www.epicurious.com, just search for gluten free, same thing for www.allrecipes.com. Also, www.glutenfreeforum.com has some recipes.

Answer 4

my mum has celiac allergy as well so i usally cook for her and im 12 her favourate is spaghetti you can buy wheat free stuff from most places it just that its a bit more money but always check on the back of the packet for wheat.

Answer 5

What about a mixed leaf salad. Buy a bag of salad, put it in a large bowl and put in chopped bits and pieces, cucumber, advocado, bacon, chicken, peppers, tomatoes etc then put in some salad dressing and mix it all up with your hand. Then put it on a large soup plate. I work in a pub and get a few celiacs come in they often choose that. Alternatively, ask him to let you know what he likes to eat. x

Answer 6

Vegetables with quinoa. Quinoa is as easy to cook as rice. Same process, and it's gluten-free and delicious.

Answer 7

Wouldn't it make sense to ask her what she would like? That way you won't go to the trouble of cooking something for her that she can't eat ...

Answer 8

Beef Roulade
Celery Heart wrapped in thin steak, casseroled in beef gravy

Answer 9
