With all due respect, please don't suggest tofue recipes...I've tried tofu, BLECH!Now what the heck do I eat?
Try Vegan. I'm not a vegetarian, but I LOVE vegan recipes.
I just have to say this first: I know you said you've tried Tofu. But thats like saying I don't like beer when you've only ever tried Budweiser. There are many different kinds of tofu. My wife is Thai. I never liked tofu before I met her.
Had to get that out of the way.
Theres TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) which is kind of like ground beef. You can use it the same way. Its not tofu, but it is soy based. It makes great tacos. Or you can stir fry it.
It looks like you can still eat chicken and pork?
There are plenty of Asian recipes that either are or can be converted to your diet. They don't use wheat, dairy, corn or tomatoes much. You can substitute chicken for beef or fish in just about any recipe.
There are vegan recipes that taste fantastic as long as you accept that they are NOT whatever you liked before.
You're lucky. I had a friend who had to give up, Salt, Meat and Fat. He's now a vegan.
Good luck. I'm pulling for you.Now what the heck do I eat?
I can't imagine a life without tofu...
Back to the subject, I think you should eat some rice and vegetables, like cabbage and spinach. Vegetables are good for your health, and rice is surprisingly wheat free.
Wow, that would be really tough to come up with a meal! So for breakfast, how about fruit and nuts. Or you could get to the health food store and pick up some bread that isn't made with wheat or corn flour (there are some out there) and make toast.
The allergist didn't take you off eggs, just the whites, so you could scramble some egg yolks for breakfast or boil the eggs and take off the whites to use them for egg salad.
Sorry, I can't recommend a website. But you could go back to the allergist and I'll bet he/she would have some ideas as well.
By the way, there are plenty of other vegetables out there to try other than corn and tomatoes. Sliced cucumber goes well on sandwiches (if you can find the bread) as does sliced zuchinni. Grilled portabello mushrooms make a nice burger. Most people liken them to beef.
There are rice cereals which you could eat with soy milk (which is quite good - just don't get the vanilla, way too sweet.) You can use that to make a bowl of cereal You can also get soy cheeses. Check your grocery store near the produce section (or the deli area) and look for soy alternatives to meat. I particularly like soyrizo (but I like mexican foods) and gimme lean products - they make a soy based sausage and soy based ';ground beef';. Also, in the freezer section, Morningstar Farms has some decent meat substitutes.
Good luck
You can eat everything else! That's the way you have to look at it. There are tons of other grains, fruits and veggies out there. How about beans, nuts. brown rice, quinoa?
That's a good excuse to go
vegan if I've ever seen one.
I am vegan myself and the only
thing in you list, that is in a lot
of the food I eat, is tomato.
I guess the best thing to do, is
to check out some of the vegan
cookery websites. Google it and
watch out for the tomatoes.
;) good luck.

My husband and I found out about an eating program that may help you too. It is based on what your blood type is. It is called eat right 4 your type, there are books as well as recipes.
Find out what your blood type is by going to: www.4yourtype.com. look for:
Home Blood-Typing Kit-Right 4 Your Type. Order the test kit.
The eat right 4 your type book will give you a list of all the foods you can eat that will work with your body and a list of all those to avoid in every food group.
It sound like you may be an A blood type,
ask your doc. if he has heard of this eating program.
Hope this helps.
try rice! What about nuts? potatoes? lettuce?
Use your favorite search engine and type in wheat free, you will get lots of hits for that. http://www.veganwolf.com/vegan_cooking_s鈥?/a> has a list of alternatives for the other things. Vans brand frozen waffles makes dairy, egg, and wheat free waffles, you can find them in most grocery stores or try a Whole Foods market.
Breakfast:
Oatmeal with raisins, peanut butter and apples, soy or rice milk, orange juice, etc.
Lunch and dinner:
Beans, vegetarian chili, rice, vegetables, stir fry, salads, etc.
Snacks and dessert:
Because of your allergies I think nuts, seeds, and fruit (except bananas) will be good for snacks. Fruit is also a good substitute for desserts on its own or with a little sugar. You can wash strawberries (don't dry them) and roll them on a plate that has regular granulated sugar to coat the berries. It makes already sweet strawberries into super sweet desserts. You can do that with just about any fruit.
You poor thing. That's a lot of ingredients to avoid! You'll need to do a lot of cooking from scratch. Lots of pork, chicken, rice and potatoes. Of course, lots of veggies.
Some ideas:
Olive oil roasted potatoes, pork chops or roast, steamed green beans.
- Spanish style chicken and rice with salad
- Homemade chicken and rice soup
- Pork chops braised with cabbage, potatoes, apples and saurkraut
- Ham and bean soup, pea soup, lentil soup
- Roasted chicken or baked chicken pieces
You can make Thai curries with thai rice noodles, chicken, veggies, coconut milk and thai curry paste. Google for recipes.
Breakfasty stuff:
- Make up a bunch of hash browns with sausage (pork, chicken or turkey).
- Oatmeal with soy milk
- Soy yogurt
Snacks: Hummus and baby carrots, fruit,
Some high-end supermarkets carry wheat free sandwich bread. You'll find them frozen, not in the regular bread section.
Good luck!
