Arrow Eating Food With "nothing In It", Looking for others who want to get organized

Hi all,

In our family, when food is discussed, the first question is, "There is nothing in it (we can't eat) isn't there?"
For us, gluten-free is just the beginning.
We are celiac with multiple food sensitivities (leaky gut anyone?).
We understand, once our guts heal more, some of the items on the list may be tolerable on an occassional basis.
Even after that point, we will be avoiding them.

I am in the beginning stages of organizing my food and am hoping I can find others who are also just beginning, or have some experience.

Here is our list:
Eliminated foods:
Gluten (including wheat, barley, rye, triticale & spelt)
Oats (uncertified ELISA)
Corn
Dairy
Soy
Egg
Nuts Macadamia, pistacio & pecans
Deadly Nightshade Family (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers [sweet & hot], eggplant & paprika)

Obviously, we don't go out to eat ! LOL

I have hunted for a way to organize our foods.
I am an intensely curious person (some say obsessively so), so I want to know everything about what I eat.
I am currently reviewing a program called Diet Pro from Radium Technologies.
It appears to be VERY complete with the FDA food nutrition data, recipes, system for trackiing managing weight, etc.
For example, after you enter in your recipe, you can link the ingredients to the information in the nutritional data base. It then generates the serving nutritonal information. It is possible to download recipes and enter ingredients...

I do have to say, reviewing the FDA ingredients list was a bit of nightmare...so many processed foods, all of which we do not eat...

Is there anyone around would would like to discuss this with me?

I would like to share sources, lists, techniques, recipes.

Sue
