Hi, all.
I just joined and look forward to browsing and/or supplying recipes.
However, I have a question.

My teenage daughter has for months (since last summer) been
experiencing recurrent bouts of nausea, dizziness, fatigue, weakness,
and paleness. Her doctor just kept saying "She's dehydrated."
or "She's hypoglycemic. (Even though her blood sugars have never been
documented low.)" He advised us to up her fluids and to follow a
high protein, low carb diet. So, we started following Atkins and
things got better - for a while - but then returned.

A couple of months ago, her dizziness escalated to outright fainting -
and still the doctor was saying nothing new and not offering any
more ideas, so I asked for a referral to our local neurologist. She
has advised us to continue to follow the high protein, low carb
regime AND to eliminate all gluten because gluten (especially wheat)
can cause many people difficulties.

So, that is why I am here. Obviously teens can be hard to handle in
the best of instances. Imagine trying to cope with a teen who
constantly feels very bad and one who is trying to accomodate both a
high protein, low carb and gluten free diet. LOL!!!

I am about at my wits end. First I need recipes! Secondly, I am so
frustrated...if all of this is related to food allergies, would they
have not shown up YEARS ago?!?!

Anyway, I have already been experimenting with converting traditional
recipes; when I get a recipe converted into something that works AND
that Tasha likes (the true test), I will post them.

I would love any advice or suggestions that anyone has.
