Chicken Tikka Masala with Naan Bread - Allergy Free!

I've had a hard time lately with the cravings. It's been 6 weeks now that I've been gluten, milk, egg, soy, nut/peanut and fish/shellfish free. 6 weeks to go until I can begin to reintroduce the groups one at a time. See this post for the WHY of what I am doing.

When I first began, I couldn't imagine what I would possible eat, and while some days I get rather sick of rice chex and rice milk, or rice cakes and sun-butter, other days are surprisingly decadent! This was one of those days.

The original recipes are here and here.
I substituted coconut yogurt where it called for regular yogurt, egg replacer for eggs. Also instead of using any fat to "fry" my naan in, I did it in a dry hot skillet.

You Got Some 'Splaning to Do, Lucy!

The post I have been promising that explains what I can and can't eat right now and why. I will try to refrain from rambling.


The bulleted version:

• I have Eosinophilic Esophagitis 
• I was also having stomach cramps and other GI issues
• I've long suspected I had some undiagnosed food allergy
• EoE is thought to be caused by reflux and/or food allergies so I sought a specialist
• Specialist put me on a diet for 3 months which eliminates the 6 top allergens
• Begininng Jan 15 I've been milk, gluten, egg, soy, peanut/tree nut, and fish/shellfish free
• My GI problems and pain have decreased quite a bit
