I need to host a pity party for me - who loves to cook. My teenage son just got diagnosed with this bizarre rare disease (thankfully, he's not in major danger, more of an inconvenience). In order to rule out certain foods as a contributing issue, he's on an elimination diet for 2 months - no milk, eggs, wheat, soy, shellfish or peanut.
So he has a "comrade in arms", I'm following the diet with him - with the exemption of alcohol! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
It is really hard to find sauces, etc. without the above ingredients - especially soy. Dinners are taking care of themselves - it's lunches that are hard. The only "breads" we've found are pretty yucky - so that's been tough. He's my picky eater, so he won't eat salads (that's practically all I've been eating).
If any of you have ever been on such a restrictive diet, please share your tips for surviving (besides lots of booze for mommy). <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />
