Gluten....and millet and egg free diet!? Help!

amg-slurp

Hi all!

Was having problems with my stomach, and in general the past while and decided to do something about it and got an allergy test done.
This was done by a kinseoligist (sp).

She confirmed what i thought about eggs anyway, gluten was no real surprise either.

So basically she recommeneded i avoid gluten for 3 months, millet for one and eggs....forever! Severe reaction to them apparantly.

So basically im looking for advise on diet.

I workout 3 times a week, if that has any bearing on things!

Looking at gluten free bread and cereals today, and most if not all i saw contained millet, and/or eggs!

Breakfast is my main issue! What do i/can i have?!

Lunch is ok, chicken or fish and salad is my usual.

Dinner again, maybe a struggle?

And snacks!! Cashews are good, but not for every snack!

Help me!

I can't find the ingredients list atm but have you looked at Juvela gluten & wheat free pure oats for breakfast (not 100% sure if millet free though).

Pistachios might be an alternative to the cashews. Gluten free pretzels are now available also (again not sure about the Millet).

As far as dinner is concerned Turkey breast fillets are a tasty alternative to chicken (higher in protein & lower in fat), sweet potato & sweet peppers is an idea & depending on your training may even help!

It's a tough one with regards to millet.

You could always have a fruit breakfast and/or gluten free sausages & bake your own bread for toast?

Sam Mills pasta range (penne,fruisili, spaghetti) is 100% corn flower & water so maybe pasta with bacon & soy sauce as a snack, you can always make your own sauces & have bolognaise.....

Alopex

kinesiology for allergy testing is a load of nonsense.

of course you're allergic to wheat everyone is to some extent really. it was introduced to the human diet long after humans evolved

eggs - you already knew from personal experience.

Don't bother with gluten free bread. no one should be eating bread to begin with.

have some bacon for breakfast but not sausages. is it specifically chicken eggs or all eggs you are allergic to? maybe you could get some duck or quail eggs. it is also possible you are only allergic to the whites or only allergic to the yolks

amg, you obviously have a rich source of information from Alopex.

If I was you I would take all of his/her advice. Like he/she said no one should eat bread, oh wait no one should smoke cigarettes either but.....well you know. :rolleyes:

I assume that Alopex is a qualified nutritionist of some description & has in-depth knowledge of the ceoliac condition & ceoliac sprue (which is not present in all humans) which I have had since birth.

Oh, and Alopex, the testing method you are referring to is applied kinesiology, because, as probably are fully aware, Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement (not a dig at OP)

to the OP, I hope you find some alternatives to the egg/millet containing foods...

_Whimsical_

OP there are still lots of things you can eat, don't panic.
This store does gluten free foods and list ingredients of all the foods so it might give you some ideas: www.ecodirect.ie

For breakfast you could have a gluten and millet free Museli or follow the suggestions you've had already. For dinner there is stir fries, gluten free curry and gluten free pasta and pasta sauces. Most of Llyod Grossmans range of currys and pasta sauces are gluten and egg free as far as I know. You can check on his brands website. Also Knorr Medium Spicey Curry sauce for adding to chicken etc is gluten free and very tasty so worth a try.

Snacks wise there are salty nuts and also sweet nut bars which are very tasty and a good alternative for sugary treats.You can get them in health shops and that website I linked you too. Walkers lightly salted crisps only contain oil,salt and potato so they're ok too if you're so inclined!

jesus thats some amount of passive aggressive self-righteousness to cram into one post.

So to conclude. . . kinesiology for diagnosing allergies is a load of nonsense . . as I said. how pedantic do you have to be to bring that up?
