I have found an "Erica Safe" GF, DF, SoyF, EggFree Pancake/waffle mix and I use our waffle iron. I use Real Maple syrup and I put two Turkey sausages with it. I use Earth Balance Coconut spread (in place of any butter types).

Cream of Rice with honey.

Rice Chex Cinnamon flavor with coconut milk.

With my gluten free local made bread I toast it (and if you can have peanut butter) I put a tablespoon on it and have it with my cereal every so often.

Home made bone broth very good healing properties too (I use "Cornish hen") seasoned with Sea Salt (I also am able to put in some GF noodles and carrot and celery and turn it into a "chicken" soup....very tasty and satisfying)

These are great things to rotate what you already are eating. I also don't eat bananas right now (too much fiber and more histamine than I can handle at the moment because I don't like them green). If you peel the zucchini it should be ok, leeks might be too gassy at this time, carrots and celery over cooked may be just fine.

We are all very different with what we can and can not eat. I didn't eat bananas for years, but others are OK with them. It shouldn't matter whether they are warm or not. The more ripe, the more histamines ( don't know if that is a problem for you. Too much of any sugar can cause issues.. I eat GF Chex cereals with almond milk. You could slice some banana into that. I found that blueberries were one of the easiest fruits to handle. King Aurther's GF pancake mix is the best. I make it with coconut oil or safflower oil and almond milk..... and use real maple syrup for dipping. I know it's boring, but eating less variety is the best way to heal .

Ken
the bland, small amount of ingredients eating plan is not forever..

once you remove all the major triggers and there has been good healing then you can have more variety with the eating plan.

Do you have Aldi in Belgium? they have gluten, dairy, soy free flour products and mixes. you can make your own pancakes by using a gluten free flour and mixing with safe liquids etc. just adjust a normal pancake recipe.

I also use rice protein powder, mix it with coconut water/rice milk - this is very good for days out/ work etc.

a few years ago when I worked in france for a few weeks, i managed to get products online delivered within france.
Have you looked for online shop that you can order products from?

Have you spent any time in the 'Dees Kitchen' part of the forum - LOADS of muffins/bread/biscuit recipes that suit multiple intolerances..
http://www.perskyfarms.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=7
you dont have to be an expert chef...

Also- paleo web sites have great recipes that are easily adaptable to suit MC intolerance's. Quite a few people here follow what a modified AI Paleo eating plan (auto immune paleo)

THX! Yes i have Aldi ln Belgium.
I Will take a kook tomorroW.

Do u gave a good paleo recept for those Rice protein/gf sf df Floor??
Normally paleo pancake is with banana and eggs. Correct?
The problem is that eggs give Me bloating and gass.
I think It's trigger food.

In dees kitchen there is 'egg replacement' options...

And if you google 'egg replacement' there will be some safe options...

I do ok on free range eggs where the chooks are not feed too much wheat/soy.

I also never boil eggs, as the shells are sometimes sprayed with soy oil.

Adjusting recipes to be MC safe is a bit of a chemistry experiment at first. But once you get your preferred mix sorted it becomes routine...

I can't do too much processed flour items. If I have them daily, I start to react. It is a 2-3 times a week sometimes food for me.

A google search 'gluten free belgium'

had the following article with links to where allergy free products can be purchased
http://www.glutenfreeblog.com/2013/06/g ... e-belgium/

http://www.specialgourmets.com/index/sh ... n,+Belgium
you dont have to eat at these places, just ask where they get their supplies

another travel article that mentions various cities areas and the stores/places that had items
https://glutenfreefortea.wordpress.com/ ... e-belgium/

a google search 'health food belgium'
brought up this store
http://www.happycow.net/reviews/natural ... sels-27324

if you go to stores like this, talk to the owner/manager they may be able to order products in for you that are Gluten, dairy and soy free...

when i was in france, the health food stores had cereals, rice cakes, and flour blends etc.

If none are local - try to find an online retailer. In Australia there are 4-5 places that i can order things online and get them delivered. the postage cost is fair given it would be 2 -3 hour drive to get the products.

Dear Ken,

Since you live in probably the highest rated best food kitchen country in Europe, there should be a wealth of opportunities for you, foodwise. Go to the farmers' food markets (aux marchés) and get the best raw ingredients you can find, and learn how to cook. Ask your mother, or some other knowledgeable elderly relative how to cook good, old fashion meals.

You are so lucky to live in Belgium!

Processed food is almost like poisin for us people with digestive problems. So, embrace what you have around you.

yes, belgium has indeed a more clean kitchen and high standards ;)
I can cook just like my mom, old skool pure things.
Im already doing this.

When I make pattattoo puree (mashed) I overcook carrots or other soft GI foods and mix it with the pattattoo.
very clean and healthy.
I can handle some other pure basics too.

I have another question:

I do eat rice crackers/waffles at work as a fast snack.
But in the store i do see 5 brands.
and 1 brand says: gluten free!
I dont understand. the other rice crackers also have just rice and salt as ingredient.
they are also gluten free right?
those gluten free are without salt and that sucks.
can i just eat the normal rice/salt crackers?

Since the 5 brands do not mention "gluten free" I guess that the producer cannot guarantee that the waffles are not contaminated, or HAVE gluten in them.

I would go for the one that says "gluten free" to be on the safe side. If you are so fond of salt, you may sprinkle the gluten free ones with some unrefined unbleached sea salt (carry around a small box with salt with you).

PS: Have you tried to make mashed potatoes by cooking and mashing 50/50 ordinary potatoes and sweet potatoes? If you can tolerate butter, add a good portion of butter into it.

Délicieux!

Ghee would be better than butter, as butter has casein. Ghee is clarified and has the casein removed.

That depends on the labeling laws in Belgium, and how well they are enforced. In the U.S., certain allergens (including gluten, soy, casein, etc.) have to be clearly noted on the label if they are in the product.

Some products that appear to be gluten free, but are not label gluten-fee, are indeed gluten free; but the manufacturer is afraid to label them as gluten-free because they cannot be sure that their suppliers are providing them with pure, gluten-free ingredients. As Lilia pointed out, it's safer to purchase the ones that are labeled as gluten-free.

The reason why so many gluten-free products are also salt-free is because so many people think that a GF diet is a healthier diet, and some people use the diet in order to lose weight, or just because they think that it is healthier than their current diet. And because so many so-called "health experts" incorrectly advise everyone to eat less salt, many people mistakenly view a low-salt diet as healthy. So naturally many manufacturers feel obligated to leave out the salt in GF foods.
