Food intolerances; what should I cook?

in Old style MoneySaving
my ds has a lactose intolerance, IBS and reflux. i'm running out of ideas for meals - any suggestions? need to avoid lactose, soya milk (soya cheese and yoghurts are fine just not the milk), tomato based foods, citrus fruits. also reduce foods with insoluble fibre ie wholemeal bread, brown rice etc. fatty food isnt allowed either. he also needs to gain weight. plus its his birthday coming up and want to make him a cake so any good recipes that fits in with all that would be great?

TIA

    That;s a huge list - do you have any health professionals looking after you? they should be able to offer assistance :)

    Maybe make a lisy of what he CAN eat :)

    white bread
    white pasta
    white rice
    potatoes
    white pastry

    spinach
    root veg
    salad

    soya yog
    soya cheese

    beans
    split peas
    lentils
    chick peas

    How about a spinach and pine nut filo pie with lots of cheese :)

    Can you make a fatless sponge for his birthday - I have a fab recipe :T You can make it with chocolate, too.

    should also add that his dad has a nut allergy so we tend to avoid those (not sure if pine nuts count :o)

    Sorry ;) My children choose not to eat pine nuts, so I don;t add them, and it's fine :)
