Coconut milk is very calorie-dense, it is not a culinary substitution
for the usual cow or soy milk.

Are soybeans the only disallowed bean?

Breakfast -- TJ's "Joe's O's" (generic Cheerio's) which contain only
oats; blueberries; and rice milk. And/or eggs.

Other meals -- rice and beans plus the above-mentioned protein
ingredients. Tamales. Cheese-free tacos/enchiladas based on corn
tortillas.

I have not had real good luck with rice pasta.

Dessert -- frozen coconut milk based is possible.

Those are my ideas, good luck...

Oops! Sorry! Disregard what I said about Nucoa. We use it because it is
just soybean oil and not the beans themselves. There is a margarine that is
made of peas or lentils. I think it is Earthbalance.

Yes. You have to buy the ones that are certified GF.

Thank you for correcting me. I just looked at the box of "Joe's O's"
and it does not say it is gluten-free.

Whether that means it's not suitable for what Ranee is doing, I'm
not sure, it would depend on what her instructions are. Ranee
mentions having ham, that might not be gluten-free either.

Trader Joe's does sell some GF cereals though.
