any other sugar/wheat free vegans?

the vegan-ness is mainly because i'm not comfortable with eatin animal products.
and the wheat and sugar free-ness is purely health-related, it helps to keep me on an even keel with some health issues that i have goin on.
its had a brilliant effect on my life, though its definitely not for everyone!

I'm confused.  I don't mean to sound as if I am getting at you but to me some things don't add up.

You purport to be vegan but break the rules to suit yourself.  I would imagine that any true vegan would disown you.

You don't want to eat wheat and sugar for health reasons.  Why? 

Forgive me for asking but I am at a loss as to why someone would put themselves on such a restrictive diet without a clear ideology or urgent medical need.

hi there ice :-)
you know,i DO have a very clear ideology and very good health reasons to be on 'a restrictive diet', i simply haven't gotten into that much in this thread really, have i, and its not even really very long yet!
and some of these things are not necessarily somethin i'm wholly comfortable talkin about with total strangers yet, i was here to swap tips recipes and general chit chat with others who eat similar food to me, really!!
and i don't mind a bit if vegan fascists or what you might consider to be Real Vegans would disown me. that kind of thing is of no interest to me.
and what doesn't Add Up to you?
do you feel there is some dishonesty goin on because i said its possible for my body to process honey easily, when i'm a vegan and we know vegans don't eat honey?
if you backtrack a little you'll see i didn't say i actually EAT honey, i just said my body was able to cope with eating it!
i'm interested in why you're so interested in pickin holes in what i'm talkin about?!
i'm very very new to these forums and you do seem like you're havin a bit of a go at me.
it doesn't feel very nice.

I think the problem is that you mentioned you were vegan and vegans by definition do not eat/wear/use anythink that is or contains an animal product. When I was vegetarian I lost count the amount of people who still used to ask me if I wanted fish or chicken to eat as they didn't understand that true vegetarians do not eat these. Going out for meals was murder when it came to deserts as so many contain geletin which most waiters/waitresses were not aware of, the same goes for some mousses and ice creams.
If you take a peek at the recipe section you may find some recipes that are suitable for you and at the same time if you could pop some of yours in there that could help others, I look forward to seeing the scone recipe (if it's not your own please remember to acknowledge where you got it from)  .

Eli,
I am glad to hear you did it gradually - still hard work though! Especially when ranges change and you have to start all over again, at least now in the UK anyway, Veggie/vegan/gluten  foods are marked, My mum and I got very used to trawling the ingredients list for all the problem items.
I do not take aspirin, or Ibuprofen, which is aspirin based, and always tell the doctor I have an aspirin allergy.  As far as food goes, I tend not to follow the strict diet anymore, but am wary as to the amounts.  Unfortunately it was never actually confirmed that this was the allergy as the only way to test was by starting eating nothing, and then the urticaria came up very irratically, but I had a huge attack one night after taking a couple of aspirin, and I did seem to be able to keep it under control with the diet.
I tend not to eat too much fruit other than red apples, pears and bananas which are safe, Citrus fruits are quite high, i love them but occasionally.  If I eat tomato soup or anything containing many tomatoes, then I am careful as to what I eat with it.
But touch wood, I have not had any major problem for nearly 10 years now, occasionally I will get the odd wheal come up, but that is few and far between.
I hope that you find that your body may get able to cope with a little of the problem foods once any high level is out of your body, life is certainly much easier now!

AS joyfull said, easting out as a veggie is difficult, I am not full veggie, I eat fish and cold blooded things, that is easier.  But eating out in France is very difficult as they love their beef and duck in this region.  Are there many vegan restaurants around?  WE have found a veggie restaurant in Montauban, our local town, and I get lots of ideas from there, they have 2 starters and main courses a day, depending what is fresh.

and regardin eatin out places, i live in brighton which a great place for veggies/vegans/coeliacs/whatevers to live.
there're no vegan restaurant places though, but the veggie places cater well for allsorts of extra dietary concerns and can be real flexible for people and're godd with vegan stuff.
and there're loads of different places to eat out well :-)

there are some awesome vegan thai places in london, cheap and cheerful kind of places that do cheap buffets, but i don't know what any of them are called, i've only been taken there a couple of times.
