You don't need a cracker.

(One of the reasons this diet works is because it discourages you from eating too many things with spreads.)

starch free diet: from on 2003-01-19

Hi I have been looking on the internet for startch free recipies for my dad who has ankolysing spondalitis. I can't find any I was wondering if you knew a site that would have some. More specifically starch free ways of making bread, biscuits, cakes and other such foods which you can grab on the run if pre made. Even a starch free pastry would be good.

Thanks

please supply starch free recipies

Starch free bread, cakes and biscuits are almost impossible to make.
You have only egg, fat, sugar to work with.
Meringues are the only example I can think of.

Even fruit and vegetables contain a proportion of starch - so how low in starch does the diet need to be - and who is recommending such a diet?

Hi To Whom this may concern, I really feel for all you sufferers
As i know how awkward it is to have to eliminate starchy foods,
Let alone find recipes & foods to replace the starch.
I myself have become intolerant to starches, & are finding it very
difficult to know what to eat, What is starchy & what isn't?
Can anyone tell me if coffee is starchy or acidic?
I am having difficulty breathing because of the inflammation,
With burning skin, Itching, When eating just the smallest amount of starchy food. The overload was causing my hives, Which are now gone as iv'e reduced my starch intake.But the other symptoms above i still have as i am new to all this info, & don't really understand what foods to avoid, And which one's to eat.
My diet consists of white bread & jam or marmite, apples, tomato soup, meat & veges, or fish, But i know i cannott tolerate foods which contain flour,potatoes,fizzy drinks,corn,chocolate,rice,peanuts, so if anyone has any idea's
as to whats safe to eat, & whats not. That would be great.
Best Regards
Diane Blakemore

All the grains are starches and so are the products made from them. Bread, breakfast cereals, cakes etc.

wheat,
barley,
oats,
rye,
rice,
quinoa,
amaranth,
millet.

Are you sure you are intolerant to all starches? Millet is probably the easiest grain to get on with. Soak it overnight or longer. I soak it for up to 24 hours. Cook it the same way you would cook rice. You can flavour it and add to foods just as you would with rice. Eat as a delicious porridge or put in to a dish and leave it to set. You can then slice it up and lightly grill it or eat as is. I take this to work everyday.

Coffee is acidic.

Use the www.google.com search engine to find out more. insert terms like coffee acidic or starches or grain alternatives etc.You will be suprised what you can find out for yourself
