I am having such a hard time getting my 2 teens on anti-yeast diet. 3 of us sick. 2 no wheat, no milk.
Does anyone have a weekly meal plan like Mom's roast chicken on Monday and so on that I could look at to avoid reinventing the wheel? I like the recipes here but they become a jumble and I am having trouble organizing them into a much needed shopping and cooking plan.
My daughter is not showing the improvement we would like to see on orals. We HAVE to get down so she feels better or if not can keep a piccline in.
They are picky, due to smell and taste sensitivity. Son with AS and also husband do not like anything with mixed ingredients like chili. This is very demotivating as I hate plain food. My daughter developes aversions and some is Mepron-angry so forcing seems counter-productive.
They are steadily putting on weight. I am good example with little effect.
It is a challenge for me energy-wise to make a balenced dinner just timing simple meals with one meat and 2 veggies. I wax and wane shopping kids complain nothing in house and go crazy on snacking on whatever they can get their hands on when I nap or turn my head.
We eat out too much when we are out all day with dr appts.
To the point..I am summoning my energy to create a weekly meal plan-roast chicken on Monday and so forth like Mom did.
Does anyone have such a plan that I could look at as to not unnecessarily reinvent the wheel?
I feel a victory coming on now that I am enjoying some cognitive and energy improvements myself.

not sure how picky your kids are...but if they like fish thats been a LIFESAVER for me.
Its super easy, high protein, easy to digest..to cook..to eat..and if you get salmon its loaded with omega3s and helped me put on much needed weight.
I have any easy fish recipe if you would like it. I just serve it with veggies and sometimes some applesauce.
Also, making things like 'wraps' only instead of using tortillas use large romaine lettuce leaves to wrap the contents up. You can put in steak, chicken, tomato, onion, homemade guacamole and salsa (depending on what their stomachs tolerate).
I find eating a little organic applesauce helps my stomach throughout the day with both hunger and digestion...its loaded with fiber.
Can they eat goat milk products?

I wouldn't recommend fish because of its mercury content and other contaminants(esp. farm-raised salmon)--not good for people fighting Lyme, I wouldn't think.
Wish I could offer some meal plans. I'm so weak these days I sometimes just whip up a protein shake for a meal. So, I'm no help.
When I do make meals it's usually boneless chicken on a bed of salad greens or steak tips on a bed of salad greens, or an omelette with veggies. BORING!
Good luck! It must be so difficult feeding your family. My heart goes out to you!

Gee, I was hoping for some recipes!! Char, you might do a search in General Support for recipes. Seems like we did have some good recipes a few months ago.
I eat very plain. Now that I have celiac, it just got even plainer...if that's possible...and if "plainer" is a word!

hi char
I don't have recipes at hand right now but have you thought about using a crock pot?
In the morning when I have more energy I just throw stuff in/add water and it slow simmers all day. Great when I am usually tired out by dinner time its ready to go.
Its great for making stews and soups. I bought a small recipe book used at amazon for "slow simmering meals". Specially good variety for people that only eat meats & veggie.
Also an easy grabb is grilling. I marinate meat and veggies in olive oil/garlic and lemon juice and throw in some other spices depending on what I am marinateing. Then I just throw the bowl at my hubby to grill.
This is good for veggies too. Like squash. You just cut it long ways and lay it on the grill. (brush with olive oil for non sticking on grill or wipe the grill with olive oil for non-sticking.)
Just another way of seeing the meats and veggies but in a different way.
Heinz makes a sugar free ketchup called " One carb".
You can make a mock barboque sauce with this as a base or even use tomatoe paste. I can't find my recipe but it is something like this: Heinz one carb tomatoe sauce-Add tad of lemon juice,onions,garlic and stevia/or xylitol to taste. To spice up the sauce you can add horseradish or salsa if your tummy is up to it.
OK- tomatoes have a sugar content but if you are just using enough to coat the chicken or meat its really not that bad.
hope this helps
p.s. The candida conncection cookbook has some good recipes and so does this webb site at the bottom.- But some of the recipes have to be modifyed for stickter anti-yeast diets:
p.s. I am so sorry... I listed the wrong webb site. Here is the anti-yest recipe site:
quote: I wouldn't recommend fish because of its mercury content and other contaminants(esp. farm-raised salmon)--not good for people fighting Lyme, I wouldn't think.
Actually Salmon is an excellent choice and fish in general is, so long as you remember the old adage, "Location, location, location.."
Salmon and other fresh ocean fish should come from the northern waters of Alaska. If you purchase such fish online (as I do) go to websites which feature Alaskan fish and fresh fruits and berries, all organic. "Organic" is the key word.
I cannot and will not settle for a miserable diet but will modify my diet to include fresh fruits, vegetables and natural/organic food products.
Currently, we purchase our beef and chicken from organic growers. It costs more but is well worth the extra cost.

Hi char
Sorry I put up the wrong link in my last post. Corrected to the anti-yeast recipe site.
Recipe for fried eggplant: read down further because you can use this eggplant in lieu of pasta in many recipes.
take one medium eggplant 2 eggs(wisked) almond safflower or olive oil(very little oil is needed)
cut off ends of eggplant-then slice then 1/4" circles. first dip each slice into to egg bowl then dip into the almond flour bowl heat oil on med high.
tips on frying: don't want the eggplant to sit in oil that doesnt sizzel as soon as it heats the oil) pan fry on both side untill soft and golden brown Drain well on paper
Spaghetti sauce: 1 can large tomatoe sauce Sautee in olive oil:onions, sliced peppers and diced tomatoes,till onions are clear add chopped or crushed garlic at end.
Add can of SF tomatoes sauce. Look for the kind that says just tomatoes water and salt. Add *italian spices to taste-*basil's nice in this too. And if you like spicey some *crushed red peppers to taste.
Simmer for 1 1/2 hours at low heat. Stirring occationally.
Now frezze into small and large containers and you are all set to use the fried eggplant in other recipes.
Eggplant lasagna:
preheat oven to 325 Take one greased casserole glass pan-
Layer the fryed eggplant with tomatoe suace and fried onions(fry till clear) One layer of eggplant one thin layer of tomatoe sause If you don't have a dairy problem layer with sprinkled chesse Keep layering till it reachs the top Cover Bake for 45 minets to and hour at 350 or 325 .
Eggplant parm:
take the fried egg plant drizzle some of the tomatoe sauce you made from the above recipe and put sprinkle some grated sheese on top(cheese of your choice) Can cover (If you like a crispier version don't cover) Bake at 350 till bubbling.
p.s. I was never a fan of eggplant untill I started the anti-yeast diet

It's just me and 2 cats and I'm never home, so I don't have a weekly plan. But I do have advice.
There is a great cookbook, the Yeast Connection Cookbook by William Crook. You can buy it on Amazon.
I found that a George Forman grill was my best friend when I was on the anti-yeast diet. It was just so easy to cook meat. You could keep your son's plain and marinate everybody else's. Or if you make chile, then make a hamburger out of some of the meat for your son and just throw it on the grill.
Since you mentioned your kids snack, I've got some snack suggestions. Since I'm never home, I live on snacks.
Snacks:
1. Rid your house of any non-yeast friendly snacks.
2. Keep ready to eat veggies around. Take the time to cut or wash them, and keep them in snack size containers so the kids can grab them. Baby carrots, raw string beans, cut cucumber, cherry tomotatoes (if they are eating that high sugar).
3. If your kids need a dip, use yogurt as a base. There are middle eastern/greek yogurt sauces you can buy that are usualy kept with the hummus that I love. If you are eating beans, then hummus could be a good dip too.
4. Always have hard-boiled eggs in the fridge. My stepmother has an egg slicer that I loved as a kid. Maybe your kids would enjoy eggs more with one of these.
5. If you and your kids are eating whole grains, then Ryvita has Rye crackers. They are semi-tasteless and not for a total no-crab diet. But they fill the belly.
6. Raw nuts, with nothing added. Some people worry about molds. Almonds are often considered the best nut. If you put them in smaller snack-size containers, it can also help portion control.
7. Leftovers. If you do roast a chicken, get a big one and leave the leftover chicken in the fridge so the kids can easily grab that. Also do the same with turkey, etc.
8. There is a brand of frozen waffle's called Vans. I think they have a special low carb, I know they have gluten free. If your kids are eating some carbs, again, easy snack they can pop in the microwave or toaster.

Love van's organic waffles
They come in the frezzer section. They come wheat free/egg/casin free yeast free and sugar free but are sweetened with pear juice.
The blueberry kind- the sugar content is higher.

It soooo good, especially if you like custard and must be: gluten free, sugar free, milk free
Its also very very very good for you, but tastes like it could actually be bad:
Baked Custard: preheat oven to 350
beat together 6 orgainc omega 3 fatty acid eggs with:
6-8 packets of stevia (depends on how sweet you want it)
teaspoon of real vanilla extract (optional or use some other extract if you wish)
Now, I know for alot of you fruit is a big no no, but blueberries are an antioxdant powerhouse, high fiber, and really you only end up eating a small amount, same with any other berry you may use. Point being, feel free to mix in:
2 handfuls of any berry, shredded and unsweetened coconut, almond slivers, pecans, unsweetend carob chips or unsweetened cocoa chips (all organic of course) if chocolate is OK for you.
In a small pot:
mix 2 cups of rice milk (unsweetened vanilla) or almond milk with 1 cup of organic coconut milk (if you use the full fat version, which I recommend due to all the wonderful lauric acid in it there will be extra calories, which is good for most of us..,but if weight is an issue-use the low fat kind)
Heat the milk mixture up until it comes to an almost boil.
lighlty grease a round cake pan (or custard dishes) with coconut oil.
Add hot milk mixture SLOWLY to stevia & egg & fruit mixture. Once blended poor into pan (dishes).
Sprinkle with cinammon
Place pan (dishes) in a water bath...a large roasting pan will due. Just place the custard pan inside the roasting pan and fill with hot almost boiling water up to the top of the custard line.
Place in oven, center rack. Bake for about 50 minutes, it will be done when a knife insterted in center comes out clean.
Sprinkle top with an extra stevia packet.
It works as a great breakfast or dessert.
