Recipe 8 on this site is for Alfredo sauce
and Recipe 10 is for a low acid tomato sauce which might be worth a try...

Thanks for that, not sure how she will manage with not being allowed tomatoes or cheese, but there are some things there she can have a go at, so thanks once again. I guess i need to spend more time on google, and less time on PH

Well, those are reflux recipes... for the tomato one, as I understand it the baking soda reduces the acidity in the tomato which is what causes the reflux in the first place. So she might want to try that, because if it works, then it can probably be adapted to other sauces and open up a whole range of options.

Sounds like she can eat japanese food, which contains very little of those things?

Miso, dashi & soy based sauces then?

Ahhhh, nice one calibrax, i will get her to try it. We will soon know, as if it does affect her she will be challenging me to a belching contest. Oh, apparently she also gets excrutiating pains in her chest if she eats or drinks anything she cant have.

Not a bad idea, i'll look it up on google for recipes, cheers wadeski

A really easy one with japanese flavours i made recently is:

mix 2 tsp fresh miso paste, 2 tsp soy, 2 tsp sesame oil (optional suppose if she doest do oil), 2 tsp sugar and 2 tsp rice vinegar in a cup.

Rub this into 4 or 5 chicken thighs. Grill them until just cooked through.

serve with steamed rice, and a shredded cucumber salad.

why not make up a batch of jus from animal bones and then freeze them in batches. get a load of either beef, lamb or chicken bones; roast them to brown then simmer them with stock veg (carrot, celery, garlic) in about 10 litres of water for several hours (10 for beef 6 for lamb 2 for chicken) and then strain reduce them down to a syrupy consistancy (or add thickening agent if you want more with less flavour). freeze in batches and then just reheat with chosen herbs when required.

No disrespect, but that list seems awfully contradictory - has she seen a dietician or nutritionist? Was the list derived as part of an exclusion diet? No mayo, but can eat eggs etc. No white wine, but can drink red...

Not having a pop, but I've got friends who are both Coeliac, Lactose intolerant and one who has Crohn's Disease, so am used to cooking for alternative dietary requirements...

Hmmm, so it would seem that complex fats and acids/alkalines are part of the root cause here, how about trying alternative oil types such as seed/nut oils? Walnut, avocado and even pumpkin seed oils are available. For the flavouring aspect I'd start experimenting with fresh herbs and take it from there. It's worth noting that fresh garlic is a lot milder than the concentrated forms. Some Middle Eastern spice flavourings such as sumac aren't particularly acidic in nature.

Finally, there are several options in terms of food supplements, Mrs SVX takes Lactase 3500 so she can eat dairy and I believe that there are products out there that can help break down complex fats. Solgar is the brand we use.

Hope this is of help...
