Food allergies are making me Crazy!! Have any recipes without...?

I can't have: Wheat, oats, crab, strawberries, oranges, apples, potatoes, any seed or nut, carrots, tomatoes, corn, or soy. Essentailly, I can have rice, milk, meats, bananas (I hate them), and grapes. Help!





[Recently allergy tested because my skin and stomach suddenly decided to hate me.]

Food allergies are making me Crazy!! Have any recipes without...?
Wow.





Can you have all dairy products? There are many many receipes at recipes.com; I would however see what you can do to substitute ingredients by experiementing. Sounds like you can do meatloaf (use cooked rice for the agent); can you have breads, etc., made with rice flour?





A good salad is chopped turkey with grapes and a little mayo. There is the Greek dish of onions wrapped in grape leaves and baked. (I forgot what it is called). Rice pudding sound like you can eat that. Can you use some of these foods in small portions? For example, can you use a little tomato to make baste or just a little sauce?





You can use beef and chicken broth/drippings with corn starch to make a gravy to have change of pace as opposed to plain meat.





Sounds like you can do the pasta route - lots of pasta dishes - Alfredos, primovera, the white cheese and sauce dishes.





Good luck.





(And write a cookbook from the receipes you collect. )
Reply:I didn't even know it was possible to be allergic to all of those things. Are you sure it isn't something else - something in your environment, or maybe your refrigerator? That just doesn't sound right...





You can have more than that though...what about other vegetables? Broccoli, celery, cucumbers, etc. Are you allergic to legumes (beans and such) as well as nuts?
Reply:Look into the FAAN. Food Allergy and Anaphylactic Network. They will lead you in the right direction. Also there are many support groups for people with food allergies. Go find one.
Reply:That seems weird. Have you tried milk with cinnamon and sugar over rice (cooked rice)? Good for breakfast instead of bread or oats. Kabobs= meat, usually with rice, so that's an idea. Fried plantains instead of bananas? I'd be looking for a way to control or get a second opinion because you are left with a not very healthy diet.
