Nothing that doesn't swim, run or grow in the ground in its true form. Anyone lived like this or have recipies? We have to do it for our teen for a few months.
Edit to add, no sauces, no spices containing gluten, or soy. Spices need to be similar to garlic or ginger or basil. Can have nuts in whole form and dried fruit.
Allergic to cashews.

Plant based milk - coconut or almond or soy - soy is not a grain - it's a legume.
Veggies, fruits, lettuce wraps instead of bread. I've wrapped traditional shaved sandwich meat in lettuce. More fun to do a 'take' on an Asian spice meat/chicken wrap that can be dipped in a spicy sauce.
Can your teen have a sugar substitute like Stevia? Zevia is a brand that only uses (non processed) raw Stevia and Monk Fruit Extract to sweeten. The flavors don't have food coloring so they are clear but carbonated - the ginger root beer is very good.

No sugar substitutes, Coconut cream here has additives in it. Anything we make or do we need to know exactly what is in it. I need to learn how to make almond milk. No sauces which has sweeteners or sugars or anything to keep it fresh. no soy sauce, tomato sauce, mayo or anything. He can have eggs Its a freaken nightmare.

Have you had a look at clean eating? It sounds pretty much like it fits your requirements and there are quite a lot of recipes online. Other than that, stews and soup. My niece has a severe nut allergy so we pretty much have to make everything from scratch for her. You don't realise how much crap is in food until you have to check the ingredients.

rambles, I can appreciate the challenge this diet is creating. Even certain elimination diets involving only one food element can prove very challenging, so eliminating more than one of "difficult" foods must indeed be a food-related nightmare. I would suggest checking out vegan recipes as, despite the allowance for for grains, they can often be heavily legume, rather than grain, focused because of the need for an alternative protein source that's rich in iron. Other specific diets to check out would include Atkins-type carb elimination, as they should have recipes focused on meat/veg, and paleo, which tend to have meals with no grain or dairy. Between the three, mixing and matching, you might be able to come by some decent recipes. Knowing the reason for the elimination diet in this case, I'm a bit surprised at the inclusion of dried fruit on the "allowed" list. Are sulfites specifically okay, or do you need to stick to dried fruits that don't include them? Given the cashew allergy, I'm sure you have experience with watching for the possibility of cross-contamination with other tree nuts as peanut-free more so than other tree nut-free tends to be the goal of some companies.

rambles , can you use peppercorns and/or chili flakes? What about nutmeg and/or cinnamon in their "whole" form? All of these are available on the market with no additives and would add to your food repertoire from a seasoning standpoint. The red pepper flakes are just a dried, chopped up peppers, which would fit, I expect, with the dried fruit allowance (and don't typically have added sulfites), and cinnamon and nutmeg are tree products -- bark and seed, respectively. Black and green peppercorns are dried fruit from a vine plant, while white peppercorns are the seeds of the same plants. There's an online grocery site from your neck of the woods that offers the majority of these, including from a couple of what appear to be " all natural" type companies -- ie those that generally steer clear of additives. Their ingredients are listed directly on the online store's website and appear indeed to be single ingredient products.

Only because he's been addicted to sugar because of the constant vomiting he wanted sugar because it gav him that quick fix in the past. His sugar addiction wasn't something we really knew about for a while. Most spices we can use as long as they don't have a gluten or grain extract to bulk it up. We have been pretty much gluten free off and on for many years but this is the first time we taken out all grains.

Unfortunately a lot of the gluten free products rely on sugars to make them palatable. Paleo recipes might be something to explore. I did a quick Google search for grain/dairy/sugar free bread recipes and found this - might be worth trying. Do you think your teenager would be interested in making something like this? I find my little boys are much more inclined to try things when they have a hand in the preparation. paleomagazine.com/paleo-bread-recipe-gluten-free-sugar-free-dairy-free/PS: My heart goes out to your child - hard thing to deal with.

Most paleo recipes will fit this. There are a ton all over the internet. Just be careful because most paleo blogs also eat high fat diary like butter, ghee, and cream since they dont have the negative effects of whole dairy. But there are plenty of recipes without dairy and grains.
Why no sauces? A sauce made from bone broth, flavored with spices, and thickened with a non grain starch would seem healthy. Also there are plenty of gluten free spices. Spices are nutrient and phytochemical power houses so I wouldn't limit them if you dont have to.
IMO the best way to eat following these guidelines is simple. Roast a chicken, steam some veggies, bake or boil a potato or sweet potato, and there's dinner. Stir fries too take the whole forms of food and simply cook them with fat and spices. I like to take chicken thighs, season with Penzy's lemon pepper and bake them over carrots, onions, and potatoes or sweet potatoes. With a side of steamed broccoli and lemon spritzed over it. Yumm!
