It seems every month I am discovering a new food allergy attacking my gut biome. I am getting nervous that my next step is going to be to axe the gluten.

I am already lactose-intolerant. Most acidic things as well (i.e. tomatoes, pineapple, onion family including garlic). The latest is animal fat, no more lamb, oxtail, ribs, or ribeye steaks.

I’m fairly diverse and I’d call myself an accomplished home cook. I typically eat pretty well rounded I would say. No breakfast, or maybe a swig of kefir. Sandwiches for lunch everyday. Not big on sweets. No soda, lots of water. Dinner of meat and rice, with a side of sauteed veg is a typical easy night. I’ll make my own pasta, stews and soups are fairly regular too. Try to eat one vegetarian dinner a week.

Is there any hope to have anything good left if I was forced to cut out gluten as well? Or am i doomed to blandness?

Does anyone have any foody websites they visit with such dietary restrictions? It seems i can’t find anything quite niche enough that doesn’t go full vegan (I understand I have to substitute some things myself in any recipes. But when 80%< is substituted I don’t think that counts as following the recipe)

Or is there any cuisine in particular that seems to be easier to make gluten free?

Just looking for help in general here, any advice.

  • There is a supermarket where I live whose almost all products are gluten free. We don’t buy them because they’re gluten free, but because they’re generally cheaper than other supermarkets, having gluten or not. I think that bread and other pastries are the only products that are not gluten free, but I don’t care.
