Food restrictions - Any food ideas?

[Sikander]

Hi all, this is my first post on here!

I was recently told to stay completely away from foods that contain Garlic, Ginger and Chilli. So i'm going to give it a go.

Obviously without these, a food dish will be pretty bland. So i'm looking for any recipes or 'links' that would point me in some sort of direction

I'm particularly looking for different things to put on chicken.

Thanks!

btw this emoticon makes my day oo:

Hiya Sikander
and welcome

Well that's a shame, and probably untrue!
In my opinion garlic and ginger are excellent anti inflammatories. I use them both all the time with no adverse effects, but I do go easy with the chilli. but........everyone is different.
Keep a food journal, introduce these foods little by little and document the effects.
Have a read of this thread too, some good info

The food diary sounds like an excellent idea, if you stick to it. I'm finding that a lot of people with Crohn's also have Celiac disease (including myself) , which is an allergy to Gluten. Gluten is found in just about every bread, or cakes or pies, a substance that is used as a filler and tends to hold things together especially in baked goods. Anyway, whenever I go off my diet and eat foods rich with Gluten, my stomach goes nuts. The result is I have an absorption problem and I loose valuable protein. I'm thinking strongly about the diary thing.
