Non-dairy protein food or meals to eat on a milk/egg free healthy diet?

Mysteriouschic

I recently got an allergy test done and it turns out I'm allergic to milk , nuts and eggs. I can't eat these for the next while but the eggs isn't as bad after a while I can reintroduce it.


I need some lunch/breakfast/dinner ideas. I used to use peanut butter , eggs for protein but now I need to cut them out.

Should I look at vegan recipes? but just add in meat?
Any ideas of other non-dairy protein food since I can't have milk,eggs, nuts. I know fish is protein but what other foods is protein?

I want to have a 40 protein 30 carbs 30 fat intake.

You could look at vegan or paleo recipes. is it the milk you're allergic to or the lactose?

The milk fat protein part.

Do you eat meat? Tons of protein in meat.

What kind of test was it? Some of them are a load of arse and only give you a list of the food you eat most.

Lean meat would be a good idea alright I'd say. Try getting calcium as well if ye're off the dairy. Boney Fish (but be careful with the bones) and Kale would be good sources I think.

Not sure what else you'd be losing out on because of dairy avoidance.

I'm a veggie so meat and fish are off the cards for me and I try to limit my dairy intake too. I use a lot of lentils, kidney beans, chickpeas, soya products (milk, cream and yogurt) and quinoa in my cooking. For breakfast, I live off oatbran - it's full of protein and f*cking delicious!

It was a finger prick one it seemed accurate for me enough as I used to have some reaction to milk when I was younger .

Have a look at the protein section here for ideas, as it's a paleo guide, no dairy

Is this where they test a drop of your blood, or did they scratch different sites on your skin with potential allergens?

A proper allergy test will generally involve some kind of a food challenge or an elimination diet. Hair sample or blood-drop tests are a waste of time.

It was a blood drop , it was in one of the private allergy testing clinics. I have to do a food challenge now with the results I've got and eliminate all those things. Then reintroduce them slowly to test my tolerance level. My mum did say I used to have a reaction to milk full fat when I was younger didn't say before the test. Nuts was a strange one though . I'll see with eliminating them if I feel better. I originally thought it was wheat which I was allergic to.

Just be careful where you spend your time and money, there's a huge amount of complete quacks claiming to be allergy specialists lately. My dad was even referred to one by his GP. A food challenge can involve hours of work, sitting with the doctor while you consume ever increasing amounts of the food in question, waiting for an allergic response.

If the test you had done was a Live Blood Microscopy or Dark Field Microscopy test it would be worth getting a proper test done before you eliminate any food groups from your diet. AFAIK, a proper RAST blood test involves taking more than a single drop of blood.

This NHS page gives a list of the main testing methods: http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Allergies/Pages/Whichallergytest.aspx

I'm not a doctor, I just did a bit of digging after my dad got fleeced by a bogus test, basically anyone can set up an office and conduct "allergy tests" without any regulation or qualifications and rip people off.

Oh right I already checked if it was a health related it was done in the fitzwilliams place . I'll see how this goes anyway. Oh wait it was a blood test not a prick test the one where they measure the antibodies. It took 2 weeks for the results.

Try bean sprouts you can grow lots of different types like mung or azuki beans. Takes a couple of days for them to grow and meant to be packed with protein. Easy to grow in your kitchen.

I'd be dubious to be honest.

They say it's a an IgG test, which I've seen criticised in a few places: http://www.allergy.org.au/health-professionals/papers/unorthodox-techniques-for-diagnosis-and-treatment#s4

A similar clinic in the UK were banned from advertising this as a clinically valid test: http://www.asa.org.uk/Rulings/Adjudications/2007/10/Yorktest-Laboratories-Ltd/TF_ADJ_43386.aspx

It might be best to get a full skin-prick test or RAST test done before you deprive yourself of delicious cheese.

How would you get a RAST test done? do you need a gp referral? my gp never listens to me as I know it isn't health related after tests already when I suggested it may be an allergy to food she said it wouldn't be. I guess it could be good to compare test results to be sure.

Maybe try another GP?

I was referred to temple street as a kid for a scratch/prick test to identify triggers for my asthma, I don't know where an adult would have to go.

Oh right I might give this a guy for at least 2 weeks and see then maybe go to a college gp instead.
