I don't think gluten is my problem since that's what I've been eating since I came off dairy. I really don't think dairy is my problem either. I think it is mainly going to be raw veggies (which I love), and high fiber stuff.....including nuts, seedy-things, skins on stuff, and many, many green things. Like you said, "mostly water!" haha! Thanks again. have a good day!

Have you discussed this with a dietician? Ask your doctor for a recommendation for seeing one at your local hospital. I received a lot of helpful hints from the hospital dietician before I was discharged from the hospital. My SIL made an appt. with a dietician when he was faced with a difficult food restrictions.

my dietician is covered by medical insurance. Most is covered as a preventive type of medicine, i'm sure they can help. I have a list of foods I can eat, and it's narrow too, but I cheat and pay for it later. I eat a lot of nuts for my proteins. good luck

My husband has thyroid cancer which prompted a low iodine, dairy free + diet - there are downloadable recipes at thyca.org - very helpful; it seems there may be some recipes that may assist you in your search.

Homemade soup is good anytime. Just make it with any veggies you can eat,with meat or without. It's even better the next day. I like to put the ingreds in slo cooker after supper,then turn on low & let it go all night.Can be frozen,also keeps good in the fridge.
Can you have meat loaf,maybe use very lean ground turkey.Also easy to slice & wrap for feezer. Fruit salad keeps well,using fruit you can have.Good luck......Google for low fat recipes.
