I am feeling so overwhelmed by what i cannot eat. In addition to gluten free I cannot have pork or seafood. I cannot have fruits (except tropical and citrus) and I cannot have most vegetables raw.
But this is not my biggest problem- my biggest problem is that i have to have a low protein diet. Not exceptionally low in protein- but so much lower than the average.
And i'm trying to limit my rice- which is pretty much all i eat - rice cakes, steamed rice and rice flour pasta to two servings a day.
I'm so stressed. Are there any sites that can help me? Where I can put in what i cannot eat and they can still come up with meal plans?

It sounds to me like you should still be able to eat a lot of the recipes in the book. Trim Healthy Pancakes made with gluten free oats, fooled ya pizza or the crust with cheese, coconut flour and flax, Just like Campbells tomato soup, smoothies made with protein powder, sub quinoa for some of the rice you are eating, egg white wraps. . . I think you can totally do it!

I am not sure if you want to share but why exactly do you have to avoid all those things? Is it a permanant long term thing or is it due to an illness and therefore possibly temporary or because of some medications you are taking? Do you have the book? Pearl and Serene have done a lot of research and might be able to help you tweak the plan if they knew more of the whys. (They might be able to help without the whys too I agree with Jody in that there a several things in the book you could use but they all include protein so I am not sure how low you have to keep it. Good luck! You could always private message Pearl and Serene if you didn't want to share here with us all! Although there may be someone who shares the same situation or illness that could relate!

Just start by marking all the recipes you CAN eat, In this book, and in other cookbooks that have plan-approved recipes. When you've done that and have a meal plan to work with, then go back through your other recipes, and see if they can be tweaked for your needs.

I have a LOT of allergies and am a carrier for a metabolic disease called CPKU - and one of my children have the disease and is on a specialized diet of a specialized formula from the hospital and specialized foods. My husband and I are carriers for this disease and while bio classes say that if you are a carrier of a disease you won't have symptoms- it doesnt' work that way for cpku- so i do eat meat /dairy/grains but it has to be small amounts each day- otherwise I am plagued with headaches among other things.

Ack! I didn't read clearly the part about needing to limit protein! I hope you find some answers.

Hi! My daughter has Celiac and is a Type 1 diabetic. So, she cannot have gluten and has to follow low carb. We also don't eat pork or seafood,except clean fish. I have been in cancer treatment for 5 years and follow no gluten. I was thrilled to see many recipes without gluten and a lot of alternatives to wheat flours being used. I thought this was very GF friendly and have been implementing a lot of the recipes with my daughter as well as myself. What about the Greek yogurt with Stevia and berries. Good protein and very balanced with no gluten. Many things can be adapted to be gluten free also. Hope this helps.
