Wheat, Dairy & Sugar allergy..Has anyone got ideas for a tasty dinner that is easy to make??

I have an intollerance to Wheat Sugar and Dairy. I’m am finding it hard to stick to what I have bee told to eat. Almost all diners contain some of these. I have also been advised to avoid spuds, tea and coffee.

For the milk, you can use soy milk, almond milk or rice milk…

Celiac (gluten free)

Workable Wonder Dough

makes 1½ pounds dough

You will probably find many uses for this good, user-friendly dough. Recipe from Wendy Wark’s Living Healthy with Celiac Disease (AnAffect, 1998). Wendy uses this for pretzels, breadsticks, cinnamon rolls, and pizza crust. Use it as a substitution for wheat flour dough in your favorite recipes.

2 teaspoons unflavored dry gelatin
2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
2/3 cup warm water (105F-115F)
2 tablespoons sugar
2½ cups Wendy Wark’s Gluten-Free Flour Mix (see recipe below)
2½ teaspoons xanthan gum
¼ cup instant non-fat dry milk powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs

Combine gelatin, yeast, water, and sugar together in a 2-cup glass measure. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until foamy. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add flour mix, xanthan gum, milk powder, and salt. Mix briefly, then add oil and eggs, followed by yeast mixture. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes, using the paddle attachment until a soft dough forms. Use dough in your favorite recipe.

Multi Blend Gluten-Free Flour (Wendy Wark’s Gluten-Free Flour Mix)

1 cup brown rice flour (requires refrigeration)
1¼ cup white rice flour
¼ cup potato starch flour
2/3 cup tapioca starch flour
¾ cup sweet rice flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons xanthan or guar gum

I often use only brown rice flour in the mix as it is healthier and better tasting. I buy at least 5 pounds every time I order (from manufacturers that sell a lot of brown rice flour). I keep it refrigerated and highly recommend it over white rice flour. This flour mix is the basis of many of my sweets, breadsticks, tortillas, waffles etc. I also like to use pure buckwheat, amaranth, and quinoa flour to increase the flavor and healthfulness of certain items. It is important to buy these alternative flours from pure, gluten-free sources. Pure in the sense that they are grown in fields that are not adjacent to wheat fields and that they are processed in a 100% gluten-free environment from the field to your table.
Triple this flour mix recipe and keep it on hand for all of your baking needs. Once you have the flour mix together you are ready for about a months worth of gluten-free baking.
The Multi Blend Gluten-Free Flour mix is used cup for cup in recipes such as tortillas, pancakes/waffles, and cookies. If you plan to use this flour mix for cakes, sweet breads or brownies add an additional ½ teaspoon of xanthan gum per cup flour mix. I don’t use this flour mix for bread, pizza crust, breadsticks, etc. as they require specific flour combinations for the best results
Note- If you can’t tolerate corn, just substitute the cornstarch with equal parts of sweet rice flour and tapioca starch flour.

Gluten-free self-rising flour
2 tablespoons potato flour
enough white rice flour to make it up to 1 cup
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon xanthan gum OR guar gum
OR pre-gel starch

Gluten-free baking powder
1/4 cup bicarbonate soda (baking soda)
1/2 cup cream of tartar
Mix well and keep in an airtight container.

Flour combinations
The following combinations of flours work well together:
2 cups rice flour, 2/3 cup potato flour, 1/3 cup tapioca flour.
2 cups white rice flour, 2/3 cup potato starch flour, 1/3 cup tapioca flour and a teaspoon of xanthan gum.
1/2 soya flour and 1/2 cornstarch.
1/2 soya flour and 1/2 potato flour.
1/2 soya flour and 1/2 rice flour.
1/2 soya flour, 1/4 potato flour, 1/4 rice flour.
Note: When buying soy flour, look for debittered soya flour. It has a milder flavor. Plain full fat soy flour has a noticeable strong a flavour.

Gluten-free pastry
This is good for sweet pies, tarts and cheesecakes.
60g (2oz) cornstarch (maize cornflour)
3/4 cup non-instant dry milk powder
1 1/2 cups coconut
120g (4oz) melted butter
Simply mix and press into a dish. This isn’t exactly pastry, so don’t roll it.
To replace the gluten
If you simply take gluten out of your baking, you’re likely to have disappointing results. Gluten is sticky stuff which helps prevent your baked goodies from crumbling. It also traps pockets of air, improving the texture of your bread, cakes or biscuits.
Bakers replace it with xanthan gum, guar gum, or pre-gel starch. Xanthan gum is a natural product made from Xanthomonas campestris. This microorganism is grown in the lab for its cell coat, which is dried and ground to form xanthan gum. Xanthan gum is added as a powder to the dry bread ingredients. One teaspoon is needed for every cup of gluten-free flour. You can buy this product at your local health food. You can also use Guar Gum, a vegetable gel, which is cheaper than Xanthan gum.

Gluten-free Flour Mix
2 cups rice or millet flour
2/3 cup potato starch
1/3 cup tapioca flour
1-2 tsp. of xanthan gum
Each type of flour acts a little differently in relation to other ingredients in a recipe. Many recipes depend on wheat flour for their texture or rising power, so you may have to experiment a bit to see which flours work best when interchanged. To start, change 1/4 of the flour or less. The chart below will give you a good starting point.
You can make your own flour from oatmeal or other rolled grains in a blender or food processor. Use 1-1/2 cups oats to make about 1 cup oat flour. Potato and soy flours are best used in combination with other flours. They have a strong flavor and soy flour has a darker coloring. Rice flour gives a distinctively grainy texture to baked products. Rye flour is frequently used although it has a dark color and distinctive flavor. (Barley, oat, and rye flours all contain some gluten.)

A green ghost answer from another YA question on this..

4 1/4 C.rice flour
1 C. potato starch
1 C. tapioca starch
1/2 C. cornstarch
