G/f and and d/f is not always an easy or inexpensive road to walk*sigh* but it has helped with tummy problems. Rudi and udi has a very good section of g/f stuff. Bobs mill also has a good selection of flours. The mix with the beans in it takes getting used to but it's not too bad. If you aren't allergic to oats you can get g/f oats, but it needs to say that on the packaging. A lot of places process it on the same equipment as wheat so if you have an actual allergy and not just a sensitivity you need to be careful. I once went into a restaurant that offers g/f food and asked the waitress what they had that is g/f. He didn't miss a beat and said all our salads and meats are g/f. I just shook my head... So if you eat out ask to see the ingredient list. You'd be suprised what it's lurking in. Like Pringles.
As to the dairy thing, almond, coconut and soy milks are good options. I prefer soy. It has a good texture and its not sweet like the others.

Hey Alma

Here is a link to some recipes, it's a UK websites that I sometimes use. I don't need a lactose and gluten free diet, but I like to try different things. Some can be a bit time consuming though (hope the link works)

Hi

Thanks, very helpful, easy recipes and easy to understand.

I know that most of the larger grocery chains have a Natural or Organic aisle these days and there are lots of gluten free items. Also, most Wal Marts have a small section of just gluten free items-- and you can google lots of other things that are naturally gluten free including popular cereals. I can only give you a list of completely dairy free items I have thus far...(will post) and I have many recipe ideas... there are many online recipes for gluten/dairy free.. I find many neat recipes on Pinterest and Pin them. You can follow me on there and Pin (tag) my items..

Here's the list I keep as basics but I usally cook all from scratch but I've lost 40 lbs so it works (:

Gluten free and dairy free is a challenge, but not impossible. Here are some sites that I found that had some good recipe ideas:
http://www.thebakingbeauties.com/
http://www.bobsredmill.com/
http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/gluten-free
There are many more out there, too.
Like Tallie86, I've found recipes on allrecipes.com. And, dairyfree is right, there are some great ideas on Pinterest.
It just takes awhile to get your head wrapped around it all. Gluten free bread is just different. I make my own and it is more of a batter bread -- it is not kneaded.
Give it time, hang in there and best wishes on this new diet.
