Default Gluten Free, Nightshade Free, Vegan Meal Idea

Hi Everyone

I am new to the site, I was diagnosed with CD 10 months ago, since then found out I had an intolerance to nightshades, still was not feeling right so decided a few weeks ago to give vegetarian foods a go and my digestive system has felt a little better, although its still early days.

I was recommended to this site and hope to find some recipes

Thanks

Any kind of fruit smoothie, spring vegetable risotto, polenta with a side salad. I can think of tons of vegan gluten free nightshade free meal options.

Thanks, yes Risottos have been a regular meal for me.

I have also found out that I feel quite sick from Beans, I am ok with Lentils but beans make me feel really crappy, I recently went back to my naturopath who muscle tested me against beans, lentils and a huge bag of food I took and she recommended I stay away from Beans, Apples, Pears, all nightshades, kiwi fruit. I feel so restricted and my digestive system feels pretty crappy after been super strict with GF diet for 11 months, I have had the blood test to check antibodies and I was within the normal range after about 7 months of been gluten free.

Polenta is something I have tried once and didnt like, I will try giving it ago and trying it a different way maybe.

I am taking alot of supliments and on such a restricted diet, I just really seem to still be struggling.

Thanks for the reply.

You might want to check and double-check your supplements for ingredients you aren't supposed to be eating.

Another idea for you: A friend of mine has ulcerative colitis. Western meds were not helping, so she started doing her own research. Eventually she came upon a "healing" diet that is mainly soft fruits and greens (romaine, kale, collards, etc.). She was on a 100% raw fruit and mixed baby greens diet for about 3 months when she started to feel much better. She has since been able to add quite a few "new" foods to her diet, including some lentils and cooked veggies. I put the link for the book below.

Default Polenta ideas

I love polenta, but my husband doesn't like the soft variety. I buy the ready-made tubes, slice it into thick french-fry shapes, and roast them on a well-oiled baking sheet at 400 degrees F for about 10-15 minutes, then flip and bake on the other side for about 10 minutes. They're great dipped in a creamy sauce like Abby's Table ranch or Veganaise with a sprinkle of herbs & spices.

Hi Lisa,
If you check online for muscle testing accuracy, it is 50%, so flip a coin on that one. The best test is one you can do yourself, elimination and then challenge the food. I had suspected nightshade sensitivity and did a 3 month elimination on all nightshade family (potato, tomato, eggplant, tobacco, Ashwaganda, and peppers of all kinds, except for peppercorns). I carried the list with me when eating out and I was very strict with it. When I did test it out (challenge), I had no reaction to them.

I still do rotate them in my diet. In any case there are plenty of non-nightshade family foods. Try a pesto sauce over gluten free pasta with a side salad... very yummy... or a liguine fetaccini (vegan cheeses).

Hope this helps!!
