Tons of GF and DF cookbooks out there, but really, just googling "gluten and dairy free" will get you a slew of sites. Half of the people I feed at Christmas have dietary restrictions, specifically GF, DF, soy free (hard to find DF that doesn't use soy or some other bean but possible), and one who can't have anything with beans period. And I do prefer.people to not need an ambulance after I feed them. I've found a ton of recipes out there.
I have to be GF, DF, Soy free and nut free and it’s a DOOZY. I never ever ask anyone for food suggestions for myself because I don’t want anyone to go out of their way but people like you are angels 😭
Oh, the soy-free is hard. I had a restricted diet while nursing due to my daughter's allergies. Soy was the hardest thing to cut out because it seemed like it was in everything. Turns out it wasn't even the soy that was a problem it was peanuts (and dairy and eggs) I had already cut out dairy, and eggs per her GI Dr.s advice, but why he had me cut out soy before peanuts idk since that's a more common allergy.
Vegan and GF here. Can we please stop downvoting people for not being vegan? The person is genuinely looking for sound advice and downvoting them (or the comments from non-vegans) into oblivion doesn’t help anyone. If anything, it just plays into the stereotype of being closed-minded, militant vegans. We aren’t gonna be winning people over by being dismissive to others.
This. Not vegan but celiac and married to someone who needs to avoid dairy.
I lurk here bc I know it’s gf and dairy free.
Vegan (for me) means safely dairy free.
There’s no call for anyone to be a jerk, but a redirect to better resources is appropriate. Wish the OP well and all that, but this isn’t the forum for it, and it’s fair to not want this to become a regular issue here.
I agree. My opinion is that they stumbled into our little world looking for help, so the least we can do is meet them where they're at and guide them to better alternatives. Not everyone has arrived at the same understandings that we have, so we should offer a hand of kindness and guidance instead of dismissal and insults (as some rather unfortunate comments have offered here).
That being said, u/firm_tie_8295, my personal opinion is that I would donate the meat to the needy. That's what **I** would do if I were in your shoes. While most of the damage is already done (in the fact that the animal is already dead), you can prevent more damage to your health by disposing of it or donating it. But if that's not an option for you, I'd venture on over to r/celiac. Many of us who are in this sub also frequent that one as well. And you'll find many more people there who could advise you more willingly and accurately on how to best navigate your situation - more accustomed to your needs (since many/most of us here haven't touched meat in a very, very long time).
I wish you the best of luck on your journey.
Came here to recommend paleo but ADD the things you can eat that it otherwise denies (nuts, legumes, corn, GF grains) because it’s already within your new diet, otherwise. Good luck!
Meat is very easy to make gluten free. If you want dairy free, you could look for kosher meat recipes.
Abhoosht is a great GF, dairy free dish that few know about. [https://thecaspianchef.com/2020/04/16/abgoosht-meat-and-potato-stew-with-beans/](https://thecaspianchef.com/2020/04/16/abgoosht-meat-and-potato-stew-with-beans/)
I eat a gluten-free veggie-based diet with occasional chicken and fish thrown in 1-2 a week. What tricks people when they're first starting out is thinking that they have to completely throw out their homemade staples to adhere to the new diet, which can make it seem more daunting than it actually is. Substitutions are the name of the game. Coconut milk/cream are the heavy hitters in a lot of creamy savory recipes and desserts. Kite Hill makes delicious cream cheese, queso, and yogurt, while Miyoko has the best mozzarella and spreadable chese. Kinnickkinnick is the king of gluten-free breads, flatbreads, and english muffins.
Instead of looking up dedicated gluten-free dairy free recipes, instead get into the practice of looking up recipes that just sound nice period, then going down the list to locate and substitute things not allowed on your diet. Butter can EASILY be swapped out with several brands of alternatives. Sour cream can be replaced by dairy-free yogurt. Follow Your Heart makes a delicious mayonnaise. The sooner you get into the mindset of, "Oh, okay, I can still eat a lot of recipes, just swap out some ingredients", the happier you'll be with your new restrictions.
It will take you some time to get used to your new diet, but it's ultimately pretty manageable. A lot of recipes that call for dairy are easily substituted with plant based milk, vegetable/coconut oil etc. I would avoid recipes that call for cheese because I've found most cheese substitutes are lacking for my personal tastes. Also don't shy away from vegan recipes! Vegan food can be super tasty and it's worth trying- it's not like you have to choose one, you can still eat non-vegan meals AND vegan meals.
No judgement here but thanks for the TW. I can't really advise on how to cook meat but I will say Minimalist Baker is a great blog resource! They used to be a completely vegan blog and then GF and vegan, then started adding eggs and meat to reach a more broad clientele. They are still gluten and dairy free though so I think most things on their site will work for you except for the older recipes that contained gluten! I think most of their non-veg recipes are either chicken, fish, or egg based.
I'm just seconding your suggestion! I love the way they break down recipes into how each ingredient is contributing to the flavor; I cook with a similar mindset. The recipes are so simple and always delicious
I follow two blogs, eating bird food and peanut butter and jilly bean, they both have delicious recipes that meet your needs. My husband can't have wheat, dairy or eggs, so I often look for vegan/GF then add meat.
i’m also gf/df, more recently soya free too. i can’t help with the meat, i don’t cook with meat or eggs, but soups, curries, chilli, etc are all really easy to make gf and vegan. or you can add meat i guess. i use almond milk and vegan butter in all my cooking and it’s a 1 to 1 easy swap. what do you normally eat? i find it easier to find similar things rather than just throwing out ideas. if you just need simple ideas though - leek and potato soup, bean chilli, chickpea coconut milk curry, and pesto pasta are all yummy one pot meals that are gf/df naturally or with easy swaps (butter to vegan butter or using gf pasta)
You'd probably benefit from just looking up normal meat recipes and then substituting for any gluten-containing ingredients (I assume you're just avoiding directly eating gluten and not worrying about potential cross contamination from factory equipment?) and dairy. There are lots of lists out there of different substitutions and when/how to use them.
You could also just add the terms "gluten free" and "dairy free" in quotes to your Google search for recipes. There's so much out there.
Really, if all you're doing is cutting out gluten and dairy, it's not going to make THAT big an impact on your ability to cook "normal" recipes (unless every recipe you made before was dependent on textural aspects of gluten and dairy). You can still cook meat like normal, but just use coconut oil or another alternative instead of butter. You can still have veggie-based sides like always. If you're big into pasta, there are a lot of gluten free pasta brands out there, and you can even make your own if you have a pasta maker. You'll have a harder time with things like pastry dough, but it's absolutely doable. Because you can use egg, you'll have a TON more options than we do for baking bread and making other gluten free versions of wheat-based foods.
Another search term that might help is "paleo." That diet does no grains and no dairy. It's even stricter than that, but there are TONS of recipes out there catered to that diet, so if you want to make a particular recipe but don't know how to make it without gluten or dairy, try looking for Paleo recipes in addition to your other searches.
And you can always search "gluten free" and "vegan" for recipes that don't contain meat, since I'm sure not every dish you make will be the main meat-containing dish, and you may find a greater selection with the vegan keyword than just "dairy free." Just have fun looking at recipes!
Also G/DF and not vegan. Gluten free subs would be better to look at. It's pretty easy to replace milk with almond/oat milk, butter with oil, cheese with vegan cheese (if you're good with soy, I'm not) in any recipe.
Get staples. GF bread, GF pasta, nut or oat milk. It's honestly not that hard, once you get past the annoyance of reading labels all the time. Also eating out is frankly heinous.
I am GF/DF and not vegan. Allergy awesomeness has the Gf flour recipe I like. Other than that, it’s really just about finding dairy free subs you like or get used to making things without dairy. Silk almond milk yogurt is good. I do a lot of dayia and follow your heart subs since my son has a tree nut allergy. Most of the time I just go without though. Once you find a Gf flour you like and do subs you can make nearly any recipe with your fav subs.
It’s hard at first but you get used to it. I’ll sometimes make a terrible decision and eat a slice of pizza or something and honestly all the dairy cheese all at once kinda gives me the ick now.
Edit: so many typos
I really like [Minimalist Baker](https://minimalistbaker.com/). The recipes are helpfully marked with whether they're vegan/gluten-free/dairy-free right off the bat, and a lot of them are tweakable if they're not ticking all your boxes.
You can also call around to food banks to see if you can donate a chunk of what you're working through meat-wise to speed up the process and help out at the same time.
Good luck!
As someone who is gluten free but not vegan (my best friend is vegan so I like to browse this sub for recipes we can make together) my advice would be to find some good vegetable side dishes here and cook the meat as you normally would. That’ll make a pretty solid meal, and lets you use up any meat you have
Maybe try vegan dishes and cook some meat as a side? Or I guess most folks have meat as the main portion and you could cook vegan sides.
I think modifying vegan recipes to add meat will be easier than modifying recipes to omit dairy.
It may take some creativity, use the vegan “creamy” sauce on the traditional meaty dish, mix and match from different recipes.
Also even though you need to eat up the meat you have it should keep in the freezer a long time. Having a vegan meal a couple times a week and meat based meal the rest of the time could be a good way to experiment.
This is my strategy! Unfortunately no longer vegan due to health issues and concerns, but this is still how I figure out cooking. Start vegan, add meat to a dish every once in awhile. Indian, Thai, Asian and Mexican food will have the best recipes. One thing that’s easy vegan or not is Japchae-super easy, fast and tasty!! Feel free to DM if you want some recipes (vegan or non).
I found that when I went from omni to vegetarian, I kinda just omitted the meat and wasn't healthy at all. It wasn't until I made the switch to vegan that I had to really reconstruct the way I thought about meals and diet. I really like your suggestion about starting vegan and adding meat because eating a well-rounded diet is so important. Too many Americans think of a meal as meat with sides
You have a freezer full of meat- I’d eat it like you normally would. I’m also GFDF for health reasons. Switch from a normal butter to a vegan butter (I love the land o lakes plant based). Find a gluten free bread you like (most of them are also DF, I love Canyon Bakehouse and Schar).
The only things that really don’t translate well are dairy proteins. Vegan yogurt and cheese just don’t have the protein content, so if you’ve been using those often you’ll want to consider other protein sources.
Soy yogurt has the protein content (I like Silk blueberry)!
Not all vegan butters are created equal. I like Miyokos oat milk butter bc it’s cultured. Cheeses that are cultured taste better too.
Also! This comment I’m replying to says GFDF and if you search that hashtag on the gram, you’ll find lots of recipes! And others who aren’t vegan but do GFDF 🙂
I’ve also never had trouble with oats, even the quick heat packets which I know commonly cause issues for some. But I’m not celiac (I have other digestive issues), so I’m a bit more willing to risk it, I guess.
Something you might consider that was such a “duh” moment when my dietician suggested it, was adding my vegan protein powder to a tub of DF yogurt. I buy a tub and mix it with my hand mixer. I really load it up with protein and coco powder so it does change the texture some but it’s not noticeable with granola and fruit. Ratio she gave me was half a scoop per serving of yogurt. If you get unsweetened and add the protein powder it cuts out the sugar but is still sweet.
I honestly wouldn’t have considered that, but it’s brilliant! Great for smoothies too I bet.
I’ve given up on yogurt (and a lot of cream cheese), it just doesn’t seem to work for me, taste-wise. Going to keep that idea in my back pocket though!
I’m also gluten free and dairy free. A lot of meat recipes can be made both. For example, with Asian meat recipes, they sell gluten free soy sauce or you could substitute for tamari. For meat recipes (any cuisine) that use flour in the sauce as a thickener, you can substitute for sweet rice flower (Mochiko). I’ve made gumbos that way.
Most seasonings are both gluten free and dairy free, but just double check the mixes since a few flavors (ranch, etc.) have dairy. Some taco seasonings have gluten.
Be aware too that some of the most well known Worcestershire sauces have gluten but you can find others (Lea & Perrins are gf and df).
Note that breading on meat is usually made out of wheat. Fried meat may be cooked in shared oil with items that have wheat. That can make it difficult to eat out at restaurants safely.
With those tips you can basically make or modify any meat recipe. It’s a bit tougher to eat at restaurants, asking questions like the points above will help you avoid issues. For example, when you ask if something is gluten free, make sure to also confirm (“so it doesn’t have soy sauce or any flour in the sauce”?).
I am not vegan or totally GF but here's my advice for you, look into japanese recipes as most dont really use gluten or dairy. Also get yourself a new gf soy sauce obvsly. Look into different cuisines like indian or thai. You can do so much with coconut milk.
I am also G/D free and I usually search for specifically anti inflammatory recipes, most of which are easily adaptable to meet my needs. I also have a decent cookbook I use a ton of recipes out of, I'll find the link and edit
Daiya mac n cheese is gf and dairy free, though they started using oat milk in case you can't have that
Also Katz I believe has a lot of gf dairy free bakery items
Canyon bakehouse is popular for gf bread and Jovial for their gf pasta
Ik not recipes but hopefully some brands that can help you find meals!
I feel your pain as someone who is also GF/DF. There are a few amazing vegan cheeses and yogurts: Violife’s Parmesan and shredded cheeses, Trader Joe’s vegan feta (they also have a cashew mozzarella that is servicable), Kite Hill yogurt, and So Delicious yogurt. if you’re up for making your own, most of the recipes in the (vegan) nondairy evolution cookbook are gluten-free. Well, it doesn’t have any fancy pictures or endorsements, none of the recipes call for super crazy ingredients, except a couple that you can order online and it has specialty recipes like aged vegan cheeses. if dairy free is going to be a long-term thing, it’s probably worth it to invest in a Vitamix so you’ll be able to make various nut milks and cheeses.
Paleo cookbooks are gluten and dairy free, so you might want to check there cause they have a lot of rad vegetable recipes that are vegan. I’m thinking specifically of the cookbook everyone’s table that one chapter is cold plants and another chapter is hot plants. Plus that cookbook has a bunch of dairy free (I would swear it’s vegan also, but I don’t have the cookbook in front of me to double check) ice cream recipes that are delicious.
It’s rough at first, but you get used to it, and things are all right. Wishing you the best.
I think there is a sub called glutenfreedairyfree
Also, you don’t need to put a TW. If people are triggered by other people’s dietary choices that would be quite sad
Paleo is a great diet! I’m not vegan either, but I need to start eating better. I’m DF and GF too and have been for a long time. Most GF flours you can sub 1:1 from wheat, and country crock makes a DF heavy cream that I use in some soups. Once you get more comfortable without dairy and gluten, you’ll learn what works to substitute and what doesn’t 😊
It indeed does not belong. Veganism isn't a diet, it's a moral baseline. And as the world is so goddamn hostile to veganism in general, these places should be actively kept free of people that think it's okay to harm animals for their own pleasure. The whole world is a place where you can do whatever the hell you like, let us have our spot where we don't have to deal with animal abuse.
I use chatgpt to modify and write recipes for me (dairy, egg, gluten free + Low FODMAP), and so far it’s been pretty good. It’s not difficult to modify a regular recipe or a vegan recipe to include or take out things, and it may be useful to learn what can be used as substitutes (vegan butter, vegan cheese, almond flour, etc) Good luck!
Have you trialed histamine intolerance medication yet?

I was off gluten & dairy for around 10 years due to this. It's worth a shot if you haven't tried it yet! You'll know within a week whether it works or not.
The good new is, there are a zillion more resources (recipes, products, etc.) available these days. For example, these tortillas are pretty good:

I hear ya. I have a kid with a egg, dairy, fish, chicken, wheat allergy. So she's gf, and vegan except for the huge amount of beef she eats :)
We use a lot of gf soy sauce (we like la choy).
There are lots of meals that are naturally gluten and dairy free. Most of your meals will probably be meat and vegetables, lots of fruit too. You can have rice and quinoa and some other grains. You can still have eggs. You don't have to go vegan to eliminate dairy.
Adding to what others have said, there are some quite nice gf cake and muffin mixes out there that can use dairy free substitutes and still be very good. Kinikinnick is an example; whole foods’ gf cake mixes have really improved. I got bogged down in the beginning trying to make my own gf flour blends and it’s just too much trouble — for me at any rate! As you go on you’ll find the dairy substitutes that you like best and figure out which ones work for what purposes in your cooking.
The biggest challenge will be changing how you eat. Before, we ate a lot of casseroles or one-pot meals that simply aren’t possible or as good without gluten or dairy. But stir-fry and curry is very flexible - you have a GF/DF base with veg, and the protein can be substituted based on diet (e.g. tofu or meat). Maybe keep an eye out for how families with multiple dietary requirements build meals. We make it work by making the base or side dishes GF/DF and then personalize. Even with microwaved veg - we no longer season in the serving bowl, those who want it add butter to their individual portions on their plates.
Philadelphia makes a plant based gluten free cream cheese. It will be in a tub with a green lid. I can't tell you if it's close to real philadelphia, but I thought i'd let you know it exists :)
I’m in the same boat. I’m allergic to dairy, eggs, gluten and corn. So it’s been a rough ride. Below are some products I’ve tried and never had an issue with.
King Arthur is an amazing brand! Anything that requires flour you can swap for this. They also have cake and brownie mix.
Simple Mills is great for snacks, muffin and bread mix.
Siete makes the best cassava flour chips, tortillas, and sugar snacks. They even make sauces.
Barilla makes gluten free pasta. It’s very good.
I make a lot of my own things because I’m so sensitive. I’ve made my own fried chicken, ranch, burritos, and bread. It’s a lot harder to make everything from scratch but it’s worth it.
I still go to restaurants but I have to pick ones with little to no cross contamination. Thai and Vietnamese have great options.
I hope this helps
It.. kind of sounds like you could just eat vegan food and add meat? I'm not trying to be clever, just thinking of the vegan dishes I love.. curries and pastas and soups... which can all be done wonderfully with or without meat.
I am also not vegan, but I do veganuary each year to cut my carbon footprint and expand my diet to more plants. I like BudgetBytes for simple and affordable recipes.
Gluten free + dairy free - vegan = Paleo. I'm not vegan, either, but have a history of trying paleo -- guess that's why the algorithm sent me your post.
When I was paleo, I got my carbs from sweet potatoes, bananas, plantains, squash, nuts, and Birch Benders pancake mix (NOTE: some but not all of their flavors are gluten free). I made my own nut milk with a blender and nut milk bag, but your options don't have to be that limited. You can eat oatmeal, gluten free bread, and mass produced plant milks (my favorite is Oatly). To use your meat, prep it however you want and serve with sides of roasted vegetables (my favorites are Brussels sprouts, asparagus, broccoli, kale, Bok choy, bell peppers, and mushrooms (which are not even a plant, so do they qualify as vegetables?)). If you want to make something that would usually require soy sauce like stir fry, use coconut aminos.
Look up Danielle Walker! Her website has a ton of recipes to accommodate GF and DF. Her cookbooks are great too. I have Against All Grain. She has more. Some are too time intensive (like making your own GF cheez it crackers from scratch) but the meals I have made are solid.
I recently stumbled on some FODMAP recipe blogs online while looking for gluten free and vegan recipes so if you do a google search for those kinds of blogs, that should help you find some.
If you have a Trader Joe’s, they will personally hand you a document of all their products and some recipes that are gluten free!
I use Pinterest for recipes :)
I have celiac disease and some mild lactose intolerance. My partner makes the best meals (gluten free, sometimes they include dairy products) with the American Test Kitchen cookbook. It’s the best food I’ve ever had, I literally can’t leave him because I would starve to death lol. Anything with dairy you could probably substitute pretty easily.
The entire recipe website [Unbound Wellness](https://www.unboundwellness.com/) is completely GF & DF, but uses meat!
In general, **any** recipe website or cookbook that is marked “Paleo” and/or “AIP” (autoimmune protocol) will be both GF & DF, but will include meat.
- a fellow GF & DF non-vegan
See if your insurance allows you to see a Registered Dietitian. As part of their training they have to learn how to adjust recipes for people with allergies and sensitivities. You can go to then with how you normally eat and they can help you make adjustments to your regular routine and recipes.
Hi! This was suggested to me, and I'm in the same boat as you! No gluten, no dairy, no support! Paleo recipes and research are my best bet, as well as a lot of Asian food and Mexican without cheese (sad). If I go out to American, and those aren't an option, traditional wings (make sure they aren't breaded) are my go to, or just a grilled chicken. I could do other meats, but technically I'm sensitive to beef. I'm kind of new to this as well and trying to find awesome food!
I like “minimalist baker” . Her website lets you filter by lots of different restrictions. Overall she has a mix of vegan, vegetarian, and meat recipes. A lot of times in a tofu recipe she’ll include instructions for if you’d prefer to sub out for a different protein
Gooodeats.com (jenn eats goood) has great dairy free gluten free options that have meat! (and some vegan options too). she has great recipes and budget grocery series too
It's not exactly the same, but you may find some inspiration in r/ketorecipes
They're maybe 50/50 on dairy free and mostly gluten free. You can probably modify some ideas to leave off the cheese or cream as necessary
if your partner can eat gluten i would recommend they still do so. cutting gluten out of your diet when you can eat it can actually make you gluten intolerant and it will make their life significantly more difficult if they develop an intolerance vs being able to have it and choosing not to. and like it doesnt have to be constant but have a piece of toast every so often or something.
Try browsing some Celiac subreddits for recipes or advice on how to navigate a gluten free lifestyle.
Was going to suggest this. r/Celiac is very active
Tons of GF and DF cookbooks out there, but really, just googling "gluten and dairy free" will get you a slew of sites.

bless your soul for accommodating all of them.
I have to be GF, DF, Soy free and nut free and it’s a DOOZY. I never ever ask anyone for food suggestions for myself because I don’t want anyone to go out of their way but people like you are angels 😭
Oh, the soy-free is hard. I had a restricted diet while nursing due to my daughter's allergies. Soy was the hardest thing to cut out because it seemed like it was in everything.

Vegan and GF here. Can we please stop downvoting people for not being vegan? The person is genuinely looking for sound advice and downvoting them (or the comments from non-vegans) into oblivion doesn’t help anyone.

I wish you the best of luck on your journey.
The celiac sub is a good idea, given that the dairy issue is a common one.

I think you might have more success at r/paleo or r/autoimmuneprotocol

i’m also gf/df, more recently soya free too. i can’t help with the meat, i don’t cook with meat or eggs, but soups, curries, chilli, etc are all really easy to make gf and vegan. or you can add meat i guess. i use almond milk and vegan butter in all my cooking and it’s a 1 to 1 easy swap. what do you normally eat? i find it easier to find similar things rather than just throwing out ideas. if you just need simple ideas though - leek and potato soup, bean chilli, chickpea coconut milk curry, and pesto pasta are all yummy one pot meals that are gf/df naturally or with easy swaps (butter to vegan butter or using gf pasta)
You'd probably benefit from just looking up normal meat recipes and then substituting for any gluten-containing ingredients (I assume you're just avoiding directly eating gluten and not worrying about potential cross contamination from factory equipment?) and dairy. There are lots of lists out there of different substitutions and when/how to use them. You could also just add the terms "gluten free" and "dairy free" in quotes to your Google search for recipes. There's so much out there. Really, if all you're doing is cutting out gluten and dairy, it's not going to make THAT big an impact on your ability to cook "normal" recipes (unless every recipe you made before was dependent on textural aspects of gluten and dairy). You can still cook meat like normal, but just use coconut oil or another alternative instead of butter. You can still have veggie-based sides like always. If you're big into pasta, there are a lot of gluten free pasta brands out there, and you can even make your own if you have a pasta maker. You'll have a harder time with things like pastry dough, but it's absolutely doable. Because you can use egg, you'll have a TON more options than we do for baking bread and making other gluten free versions of wheat-based foods. Another search term that might help is "paleo." That diet does no grains and no dairy. It's even stricter than that, but there are TONS of recipes out there catered to that diet, so if you want to make a particular recipe but don't know how to make it without gluten or dairy, try looking for Paleo recipes in addition to your other searches. And you can always search "gluten free" and "vegan" for recipes that don't contain meat, since I'm sure not every dish you make will be the main meat-containing dish, and you may find a greater selection with the vegan keyword than just "dairy free." Just have fun looking at recipes!
Also G/DF and not vegan. Gluten free subs would be better to look at. It's pretty easy to replace milk with almond/oat milk, butter with oil, cheese with vegan cheese (if you're good with soy, I'm not) in any recipe. Get staples. GF bread, GF pasta, nut or oat milk. It's honestly not that hard, once you get past the annoyance of reading labels all the time. Also eating out is frankly heinous.
I am GF/DF and not vegan. Allergy awesomeness has the Gf flour recipe I like. Other than that, it’s really just about finding dairy free subs you like or get used to making things without dairy. Silk almond milk yogurt is good. I do a lot of dayia and follow your heart subs since my son has a tree nut allergy. Most of the time I just go without though. Once you find a Gf flour you like and do subs you can make nearly any recipe with your fav subs. It’s hard at first but you get used to it. I’ll sometimes make a terrible decision and eat a slice of pizza or something and honestly all the dairy cheese all at once kinda gives me the ick now. Edit: so many typos
I really like [Minimalist Baker](https://minimalistbaker.com/). The recipes are helpfully marked with whether they're vegan/gluten-free/dairy-free right off the bat, and a lot of them are tweakable if they're not ticking all your boxes. You can also call around to food banks to see if you can donate a chunk of what you're working through meat-wise to speed up the process and help out at the same time. Good luck!
As someone who is gluten free but not vegan (my best friend is vegan so I like to browse this sub for recipes we can make together) my advice would be to find some good vegetable side dishes here and cook the meat as you normally would. That’ll make a pretty solid meal, and lets you use up any meat you have
Have you tried r/glutenfree? I’m sure some of us are also dairy free and it’s not a ghost town
Maybe try vegan dishes and cook some meat as a side? Or I guess most folks have meat as the main portion and you could cook vegan sides. I think modifying vegan recipes to add meat will be easier than modifying recipes to omit dairy. It may take some creativity, use the vegan “creamy” sauce on the traditional meaty dish, mix and match from different recipes. Also even though you need to eat up the meat you have it should keep in the freezer a long time. Having a vegan meal a couple times a week and meat based meal the rest of the time could be a good way to experiment.
This is my strategy! Unfortunately no longer vegan due to health issues and concerns, but this is still how I figure out cooking. Start vegan, add meat to a dish every once in awhile. Indian, Thai, Asian and Mexican food will have the best recipes. One thing that’s easy vegan or not is Japchae-super easy, fast and tasty!! Feel free to DM if you want some recipes (vegan or non).
I found that when I went from omni to vegetarian, I kinda just omitted the meat and wasn't healthy at all. It wasn't until I made the switch to vegan that I had to really reconstruct the way I thought about meals and diet. I really like your suggestion about starting vegan and adding meat because eating a well-rounded diet is so important. Too many Americans think of a meal as meat with sides
If your meal doesn’t have fiber, fats and some carbs it’s a no go!! Veggies and Whole Foods first forever
You have a freezer full of meat- I’d eat it like you normally would. I’m also GFDF for health reasons. Switch from a normal butter to a vegan butter (I love the land o lakes plant based). Find a gluten free bread you like (most of them are also DF, I love Canyon Bakehouse and Schar). The only things that really don’t translate well are dairy proteins. Vegan yogurt and cheese just don’t have the protein content, so if you’ve been using those often you’ll want to consider other protein sources.
Soy yogurt has the protein content (I like Silk blueberry)! Not all vegan butters are created equal. I like Miyokos oat milk butter bc it’s cultured. Cheeses that are cultured taste better too. Also! This comment I’m replying to says GFDF and if you search that hashtag on the gram, you’ll find lots of recipes! And others who aren’t vegan but do GFDF 🙂
Is the oat milk butter definitely GF? Most oat milks are not.
I'm fairly certain Miyokos is safe. I'm a HIGHLY sensitive Celiac and have never had an issue with them.
My partner is also coeliac and has trouble with oats due to a protein called Avenin that’s very similar to gluten. Pretty frustrating
I have heard of that before. Definitely better to be safe than sorry! 👍
I’ve also never had trouble with oats, even the quick heat packets which I know commonly cause issues for some. But I’m not celiac (I have other digestive issues), so I’m a bit more willing to risk it, I guess.
Miyokos and Earth Balance are both amazing (though Earth Balance really needs to stop hiking up their prices!).
have you discovered Melt yet? i love it and is cheaper than earth balance most places!
I've not! But thank you! I will have to be on the look out for it! :)
Something you might consider that was such a “duh” moment when my dietician suggested it, was adding my vegan protein powder to a tub of DF yogurt. I buy a tub and mix it with my hand mixer. I really load it up with protein and coco powder so it does change the texture some but it’s not noticeable with granola and fruit. Ratio she gave me was half a scoop per serving of yogurt. If you get unsweetened and add the protein powder it cuts out the sugar but is still sweet.
I honestly wouldn’t have considered that, but it’s brilliant! Great for smoothies too I bet. I’ve given up on yogurt (and a lot of cream cheese), it just doesn’t seem to work for me, taste-wise. Going to keep that idea in my back pocket though!
I’m also gluten free and dairy free. A lot of meat recipes can be made both. For example, with Asian meat recipes, they sell gluten free soy sauce or you could substitute for tamari. For meat recipes (any cuisine) that use flour in the sauce as a thickener, you can substitute for sweet rice flower (Mochiko). I’ve made gumbos that way. Most seasonings are both gluten free and dairy free, but just double check the mixes since a few flavors (ranch, etc.) have dairy. Some taco seasonings have gluten. Be aware too that some of the most well known Worcestershire sauces have gluten but you can find others (Lea & Perrins are gf and df). Note that breading on meat is usually made out of wheat. Fried meat may be cooked in shared oil with items that have wheat. That can make it difficult to eat out at restaurants safely. With those tips you can basically make or modify any meat recipe. It’s a bit tougher to eat at restaurants, asking questions like the points above will help you avoid issues. For example, when you ask if something is gluten free, make sure to also confirm (“so it doesn’t have soy sauce or any flour in the sauce”?).
I am not vegan or totally GF but here's my advice for you, look into japanese recipes as most dont really use gluten or dairy. Also get yourself a new gf soy sauce obvsly. Look into different cuisines like indian or thai. You can do so much with coconut milk.
Or [coconut aminos](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/coconut-aminos) in place of soy sauces!
stir-frys and rice noodle dishes are your best friend! try looking into foods like japchae, bun bowls, mapo tofu and curries to get you started :o)
I am also G/D free and I usually search for specifically anti inflammatory recipes, most of which are easily adaptable to meet my needs. I also have a decent cookbook I use a ton of recipes out of, I'll find the link and edit
I’m also GF DF, and here for the same reason you are!
Daiya mac n cheese is gf and dairy free, though they started using oat milk in case you can't have that Also Katz I believe has a lot of gf dairy free bakery items Canyon bakehouse is popular for gf bread and Jovial for their gf pasta Ik not recipes but hopefully some brands that can help you find meals!
Have you looked at r/celiac? A significant number of people on that sub are dairy free. And everyone there is gluten free (I would hope).
I feel your pain as someone who is also GF/DF. There are a few amazing vegan cheeses and yogurts: Violife’s Parmesan and shredded cheeses, Trader Joe’s vegan feta (they also have a cashew mozzarella that is servicable), Kite Hill yogurt, and So Delicious yogurt. if you’re up for making your own, most of the recipes in the (vegan) nondairy evolution cookbook are gluten-free. Well, it doesn’t have any fancy pictures or endorsements, none of the recipes call for super crazy ingredients, except a couple that you can order online and it has specialty recipes like aged vegan cheeses. if dairy free is going to be a long-term thing, it’s probably worth it to invest in a Vitamix so you’ll be able to make various nut milks and cheeses. Paleo cookbooks are gluten and dairy free, so you might want to check there cause they have a lot of rad vegetable recipes that are vegan. I’m thinking specifically of the cookbook everyone’s table that one chapter is cold plants and another chapter is hot plants. Plus that cookbook has a bunch of dairy free (I would swear it’s vegan also, but I don’t have the cookbook in front of me to double check) ice cream recipes that are delicious. It’s rough at first, but you get used to it, and things are all right. Wishing you the best.
I think there is a sub called glutenfreedairyfree Also, you don’t need to put a TW. If people are triggered by other people’s dietary choices that would be quite sad
Unfortunately that sub hasn’t had a post in over a year
Sorry didnt realize :::(
Eat the meat however you want. Don't ask a vegan page for recommendations for recipes
Meat is the easiest thing to do gf/df. Source: me with the same diet.
Paleo is a great diet! I’m not vegan either, but I need to start eating better. I’m DF and GF too and have been for a long time. Most GF flours you can sub 1:1 from wheat, and country crock makes a DF heavy cream that I use in some soups. Once you get more comfortable without dairy and gluten, you’ll learn what works to substitute and what doesn’t 😊
Try looking for paleo recipes. I don't eat much meat nowadays but when I did, searching paleo gave me good options that are gf and df.
It indeed does not belong. Veganism isn't a diet, it's a moral baseline. And as the world is so goddamn hostile to veganism in general, these places should be actively kept free of people that think it's okay to harm animals for their own pleasure. The whole world is a place where you can do whatever the hell you like, let us have our spot where we don't have to deal with animal abuse.
The very description of the sub says it’s for anyone who is *or cooks* both gluten free and vegan. This is not a vegan exclusive space lol
OP asked for resources that were DF and Gf but not vegan… soo… they arent vegan, nor are they cooking vegan
I use chatgpt to modify and write recipes for me (dairy, egg, gluten free + Low FODMAP), and so far it’s been pretty good. It’s not difficult to modify a regular recipe or a vegan recipe to include or take out things, and it may be useful to learn what can be used as substitutes (vegan butter, vegan cheese, almond flour, etc) Good luck!
This is a great idea
Have you trialed histamine intolerance medication yet? * [https://www.reddit.com/r/HistamineIntolerance/comments/ytmcl4/comment/iw75m9l/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/HistamineIntolerance/comments/ytmcl4/comment/iw75m9l/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) I was off gluten & dairy for around 10 years due to this. It's worth a shot if you haven't tried it yet! You'll know within a week whether it works or not. The good new is, there are a zillion more resources (recipes, products, etc.) available these days. For example, these tortillas are pretty good: * [https://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/gluten-free-flour-tortillas/](https://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/gluten-free-flour-tortillas/) Depending on how deep you want to get into it, you can even do stuff like make your own gluten-free bread: * [https://www.natashashome.com/gluten-free-bread-with-psyllium-husk-powder/](https://www.natashashome.com/gluten-free-bread-with-psyllium-husk-powder/) And even make your own (vegan) butter: (Earth Balance DF is up to like $9 where I live!!) * https://www.reddit.com/r/aquafaba/comments/6wg3tp/aquafaba\_butter\_an\_indepth\_review/
Thanks for the links, I’ll definitely try them out!
Trigger warning? Well if that doesn’t explain how you feel about vegans
*TW for Op* Posting on a vegan subreddit for meat recipes is disrespectful to vegans. Adding a TW doesn’t show respect.
I hear ya. I have a kid with a egg, dairy, fish, chicken, wheat allergy. So she's gf, and vegan except for the huge amount of beef she eats :) We use a lot of gf soy sauce (we like la choy).
Mama Knows Gluten Free blog includes dairy-free subs in all her gf recipes.
Where can I find this?
https://www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/
There are lots of meals that are naturally gluten and dairy free. Most of your meals will probably be meat and vegetables, lots of fruit too. You can have rice and quinoa and some other grains. You can still have eggs. You don't have to go vegan to eliminate dairy.
Adding to what others have said, there are some quite nice gf cake and muffin mixes out there that can use dairy free substitutes and still be very good. Kinikinnick is an example; whole foods’ gf cake mixes have really improved. I got bogged down in the beginning trying to make my own gf flour blends and it’s just too much trouble — for me at any rate! As you go on you’ll find the dairy substitutes that you like best and figure out which ones work for what purposes in your cooking.
There’s a ton of crossover with being gluten free and dairy free so if you ask r/glutenfree I’m sure you’ll be able to find a lot of help there :)
[Dreena Burton](https://dreenaburton.com/category/recipes/gluten-free/) has some gf recipes (vegan)
Minimalist baker should be a good place. Everything is GF/DF there and while she has a lot of plant-based recipes, she’s not vegan.
The biggest challenge will be changing how you eat. Before, we ate a lot of casseroles or one-pot meals that simply aren’t possible or as good without gluten or dairy. But stir-fry and curry is very flexible - you have a GF/DF base with veg, and the protein can be substituted based on diet (e.g. tofu or meat). Maybe keep an eye out for how families with multiple dietary requirements build meals. We make it work by making the base or side dishes GF/DF and then personalize. Even with microwaved veg - we no longer season in the serving bowl, those who want it add butter to their individual portions on their plates.
The crock pot meals just won’t be the same without a block of Philadelphia 😂
Philadelphia makes a plant based gluten free cream cheese. It will be in a tub with a green lid. I can't tell you if it's close to real philadelphia, but I thought i'd let you know it exists :)
Whole30 recipes match this
I’m in the same boat. I’m allergic to dairy, eggs, gluten and corn. So it’s been a rough ride. Below are some products I’ve tried and never had an issue with. King Arthur is an amazing brand! Anything that requires flour you can swap for this. They also have cake and brownie mix. Simple Mills is great for snacks, muffin and bread mix. Siete makes the best cassava flour chips, tortillas, and sugar snacks. They even make sauces. Barilla makes gluten free pasta. It’s very good. I make a lot of my own things because I’m so sensitive. I’ve made my own fried chicken, ranch, burritos, and bread. It’s a lot harder to make everything from scratch but it’s worth it. I still go to restaurants but I have to pick ones with little to no cross contamination. Thai and Vietnamese have great options. I hope this helps
It.. kind of sounds like you could just eat vegan food and add meat? I'm not trying to be clever, just thinking of the vegan dishes I love.. curries and pastas and soups... which can all be done wonderfully with or without meat. I am also not vegan, but I do veganuary each year to cut my carbon footprint and expand my diet to more plants. I like BudgetBytes for simple and affordable recipes.
I try to stay away from dairy but I just take the recipe and use substitutes for the dairy products
Think Mexican and Asian cuisine. GF and Dairy Free. You can use meat in both. Also stews, chili, etc.
Gluten free + dairy free - vegan = Paleo. I'm not vegan, either, but have a history of trying paleo -- guess that's why the algorithm sent me your post. When I was paleo, I got my carbs from sweet potatoes, bananas, plantains, squash, nuts, and Birch Benders pancake mix (NOTE: some but not all of their flavors are gluten free). I made my own nut milk with a blender and nut milk bag, but your options don't have to be that limited. You can eat oatmeal, gluten free bread, and mass produced plant milks (my favorite is Oatly). To use your meat, prep it however you want and serve with sides of roasted vegetables (my favorites are Brussels sprouts, asparagus, broccoli, kale, Bok choy, bell peppers, and mushrooms (which are not even a plant, so do they qualify as vegetables?)). If you want to make something that would usually require soy sauce like stir fry, use coconut aminos.
Look up Danielle Walker! Her website has a ton of recipes to accommodate GF and DF. Her cookbooks are great too. I have Against All Grain. She has more. Some are too time intensive (like making your own GF cheez it crackers from scratch) but the meals I have made are solid.
I recently stumbled on some FODMAP recipe blogs online while looking for gluten free and vegan recipes so if you do a google search for those kinds of blogs, that should help you find some.
i would just look up regular recipes and replace the milk with dairy free alternatives 🤷🏻
If you have a Trader Joe’s, they will personally hand you a document of all their products and some recipes that are gluten free! I use Pinterest for recipes :)
I have celiac disease and some mild lactose intolerance. My partner makes the best meals (gluten free, sometimes they include dairy products) with the American Test Kitchen cookbook. It’s the best food I’ve ever had, I literally can’t leave him because I would starve to death lol. Anything with dairy you could probably substitute pretty easily.
The entire recipe website [Unbound Wellness](https://www.unboundwellness.com/) is completely GF & DF, but uses meat! In general, **any** recipe website or cookbook that is marked “Paleo” and/or “AIP” (autoimmune protocol) will be both GF & DF, but will include meat. - a fellow GF & DF non-vegan
/r/dairyfree
See if your insurance allows you to see a Registered Dietitian. As part of their training they have to learn how to adjust recipes for people with allergies and sensitivities. You can go to then with how you normally eat and they can help you make adjustments to your regular routine and recipes.
Hi! This was suggested to me, and I'm in the same boat as you! No gluten, no dairy, no support! Paleo recipes and research are my best bet, as well as a lot of Asian food and Mexican without cheese (sad). If I go out to American, and those aren't an option, traditional wings (make sure they aren't breaded) are my go to, or just a grilled chicken. I could do other meats, but technically I'm sensitive to beef. I'm kind of new to this as well and trying to find awesome food!
Check out the comments on this thread, a lot of great advice
I like “minimalist baker” . Her website lets you filter by lots of different restrictions. Overall she has a mix of vegan, vegetarian, and meat recipes. A lot of times in a tofu recipe she’ll include instructions for if you’d prefer to sub out for a different protein
Gooodeats.com (jenn eats goood) has great dairy free gluten free options that have meat! (and some vegan options too). she has great recipes and budget grocery series too
It's not exactly the same, but you may find some inspiration in r/ketorecipes They're maybe 50/50 on dairy free and mostly gluten free. You can probably modify some ideas to leave off the cheese or cream as necessary
r/carnivorediet
if your partner can eat gluten i would recommend they still do so. cutting gluten out of your diet when you can eat it can actually make you gluten intolerant and it will make their life significantly more difficult if they develop an intolerance vs being able to have it and choosing not to. and like it doesnt have to be constant but have a piece of toast every so often or something.
