I am so happy to have found your blog!!! I was a vegetarian for 10 years. 2 years ago I found I had to go gluten/dairy free. I felt lost in the food world. I went back to eating meat because I didn’t think there was anyway to remain a vegetarian and gluten/dairy free… all the substitutes were wheat based.

Now I have a wonderful place to start.
THANK YOU!!

We don’t have Bob’s Red Mill in Australia. I prefer F.G. Robert’s gluten-free flour, which is organic soy flour based, otherwise I just mix up a combination of potato starch, brown rice, chickpea, and tapioca starch flours. Sometimes instead of chickpea (strongish flavour) I use maize or buckwheat flour.

Hey Renee,

I’m a GF vegan as well (and also have a nut allergy). What is the brand of GF flour that you prefer? I’ve tried Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose GF flour a few times, but it had sort of an after-taste.

Thanks for the input, as well as for the excellent site!

I love your story! I decided to give up wheat and dairy this past January after dealing with some serious ear congestion that resulted in vertigo. I’ve had serious sinus congestion for years now and have noticed great improvement in my ability to breathe and smell things.

Fortunately I live in a town that makes eating out easy. Some of the hipper places label all the items on their menu that are wheat and or dairy free….so you don’t even have to ask.

I’m excited to have found your blog!

Hi, Kate!

Amaranth is gluten-free, indeed. A very tasty, healthy grain, too.

Hi there!
I’ve been vegie for a few years but I’m going vegan gluten free cos I have psoriatic arthritis. Thanks for this site- it’s brilliant. Do you know if amaranth is gluten free? (I’m guessing not) but I was planning on growing some this year.
Best wishes

Thanks, Dr Wangen. I’ll donate some recipes to your wiki soon. I don’t mind at all if you add a link, thanks!

Renee,

This is a great service you are providing. Thanks so much for sharing your recipes. Many of my patients are gluten intolerant and/or allergic to eggs and/or dairy products. It is great to have resources like this.

The Innate Health Foundation is a public charity that provides the IHFWiki - a wiki website that allows users to share info about restaurants, food products, recipes etc. that are useful to the food allergy/intolerance community. Maybe you would share some of your recipes there at http://www.InnateHealthFoundation.org/wiki/ ?

I hope you won’t mind if the IHFWiki provides a link to your site.

Renee,

This is a great service that you are providing. Many of my patients are gluten intolerant or allergic to eggs or dairy, or other foods. They need all the help they can get understanding that they can still eat excellent, tasty food and not get sick with IBS symptoms.

The Innate Health Foundation is a public charity supporting the food allergy and intolerance community with a Wiki (IHFWiki) that includes restaurant information, food products info, and recipes. Maybe you would be willing to share a few recipes there? http://www.InnateHealthFoundation.org/wiki/ is the link.

I hope you won’t mind if we add a link to your site on the IHFWiki.

Hi Renee,

I love the pictures of your cats and your recipes look great. I’m not vegan, but allergic to eggs and gluten intolerant. I’m hoping to learn a lot here and share something of my own if it turns out to be edible.

I am vegetarian but not vegan but am not very keen on eggs or milk (but I love cheese) so I have been interested in vegan recipes for quite a while. More recently my niece has been diagnosed celiac and so I have become aware of gluten free issues.

I have been making quite a few gluten free vegan dishes lately and am happy for you to check out my blog for recipes (pls acknowledge if you include them on your blog).

I’ve had a look at some of your blog and enjoy the posts!

thanks
Johanna

I’m not vegan, but love cooking and like to have a good variety to offer my non meat eater friends, as well as for personal enjoyment when the mood strikes.

This blog is the answer to my prayers! I’ve been searching for ages for a blog that fits my allergies etc. Books are good, but eventually my brain decides “I’ve read that” and it ends up on a shelf getting dusty”. with a blog I get weekly inspiration. Looking forward to delving your archives this week.
