Dairy Free
Gluten FreeThis anti-inflammatory meal plan is full of dairy-free and gluten-free recipes that are nourishing for the mind and body! Simple, delicious recipes, rich in foods that are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Vegan, Paleo, and Whole 30 friendly options. Food plays a key role in reducing inflammation in the body, so use this meal plan to help you feel better!
Junk Free June Continues! Today we’re talking about anti-inflammatory food that helps nourish the body.
Why follow a dairy-free and gluten-free anti-inflammatory meal plan?
Well, let me explain.
You see, we all have consumed grains, dairy, legumes, and meat (most of us) in our lifetime, yes? Yes! I (we) eat them all. Gluten-free grains of course.
But here’s the thing. As I sit here typing up this post, I can tell my brain and body need a little “calming down.” It’s been on the crazy cycle for oh… weeks now! YIKES! Yes, stress can really take a toll on one’s health and deplete you of important key MINERALS.
You know what else it can do? It can cause that oxidative stress to rise and if we are under chronic stress (chronic inflammation), the physical and mental kind, then our immune system is going to have a hard time responding. It will try to react and recover but doesn’t have the necessary nutrients in order to do so. Hey, it’s pretty tired of trying to fight, ya know? Hence the continuous inflammation of the body and brain. Sad, but true.
On the other hand, a little stress and a little inflammation can be good for the body. If you are healthy, managing stress, and moving the body daily, then your body will easily recover from that acute stress and build it up stronger.
Unfortunately, for many of us, we get stuck in the “chronic stress” cycle. Am I right? Raising hand! Which is why I thought it was about time we make another anti-inflammatory meal plan. Our first anti-inflammatory meal plan focused on grain-free and gluten-free recipes. This plan focuses on gluten-free and dairy-free.
The reason that this ANTI-INFLAMMATORY GLUTEN-FREE MEAL PLAN is ALSO DAIRY FREE.
In order to help COMBAT that chronic inflammation, we need to first make some MAJOR lifestyle changes (rest, sleep, take on less, etc.). Oops, I’m failing at that.
We also need to MAXIMIZE certain nutrients in our diet, such as omega 3 rich foods (EPA/DHA), anti-oxidants, minerals, Vitamin D, probiotics, water, and so on and so on. Temporarily removing a dairy, and maybe even certain types of grains can help absorb your body absorb more nutrients and therefore reduce stress on the body. Does that make sense?
I know, you’re probably now wondering… but why a dairy-free Anti-inflammatory meal plan? Doesn’t cultured dairy do wonder for the gut? YES, it SURE does! Grass-fed dairy that’s rich in probiotics, like kefir, and yogurt, and even REAL butter, can be healthy and nourishing. Plus they are SOOOO tasty!
But here’s the thing, if you are under that chronic inflammation and stress, then you might also be experiencing digest issues and food intolerances. Any food can be inflammatory if your body comes to see it as an “invader” under chronic inflammation. Which may include dairy, casein, and lactose included! Hopefully, it’s a temporary intolerance, but you never know. Which is why I suggest trying out a low FODMAP meal plan first.
No no, don’t be worried, we can get this all worked out. Yes, we are going nourish the body and reduce stress.
Test, rest, reset! YES!!
IMPORTANT NOTE – If you are looking for an anti-inflammatory focused meal plan that’s also nightshade free end egg free, please check out my Healing Recipes Meal plan Round Up or my anti-inflammatory meal plan bundle.
This gluten-free dairy-free anti-inflammatory meal plan will fill you up with KEY nutrients to feed the GOOD bacteria in the gut, nourish the body/brain, and keep you filled and fueled!
Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Foods to Fight Inflammation
- Wild caught fish, bone broth or collagen, and grass-fed meats/poultry. (Winner Winner SALMON DINNER)!
- Healthy cold pressed oils: Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, unrefined coconut oil, avocado oil, and expeller pressed sesame oil. Avoid refined vegetable oils if possible as they can be toxic in excess amounts.
- Dairy-free probiotic boosters and cultured food – sauerkraut, pickled veggies, kimchi, kombucha, kefir water.
- Vegetables and root starches: All the leafy greens and prebiotic-rich vegetables like artichokes, avocado, and cabbage. Also, starches such as rutabaga, beets, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and squash. Avoid corn if you’re not sure if it’s organic or non-GMO.
- Fruits: Yes, fruit is packed with Vitamin C and more! Focus on the darker fruits with less sugar to really boost the antioxidant intake. Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries are great choices.
- Natural sweeteners: Maple syrup and honey (rich in minerals), molasses, and date sugar are wonderful to use in moderation.
- Herbs and spices – Curry, turmeric, cumin, fresh basil, mint – those wonderful herbs and spices that either soothe the nervous system and digestive system and/or they boost immunity/health!
*NOTE* – Eggs are healthy part of the diet but it depends on the type of egg and person. Duck egg and pasture raised (cage free organic) eggs are most nutrient dense. If you can tolerate eggs, please enjoy them in this meal plan. If you know your body does not react well to eggs, then I recommend limiting eggs temporarily until the gut and inflammation in your body heals. Here’s a great healing diet resource!
Each recipe below is loaded essential vitamins, minerals, omega-3 (or other quality fats), and more! There are several paleo and whole 30 friendly recipes, plus a few vegan options for those who don’t eat meat/fish!
Now let’s dig in! Or pin this for later if you don’t have time now.

These recipes came at TOTALLY the right time. I’m on a anti-candida and anti-SIBO protocol that is SO limited. I literally can’t eat anything (or at least that’s what i feels like). Thank you for sharing these beautiful and yummy recipes. I’ve pinned a bunch to make over the weekend!
Thank you Kyla! Let me know if you need any other suggestions. Keep me posted on your healing!
Thank you I have downloaded a few recipes but need so much more please. I have a daughter in Law who is a celiac as well as having rheumatoid arthritis. She cannot have diary, wheat, rice, nightshades ( including potatoes) or fish. No chilli either. The only meat she can have are chicken and pork. And eggs are ok. Help please as she is visiting for a few days and I want to make her feel welcome.
Hi Cherry! I definitely understand your dilemma! https://www.cottercrunch.com/anti-inflammatory-diet-meal-prep-recipes-challenge/
This plan is nightshade free friendly, plus I also have a guide that might help with all that, including recipes. It’s an ebook here https://www.cottercrunch.com/product/30-day-anti-inflammatory-meal-plan-guide-ebook/
Kyla, hi
I need your help, I was told no sugar, no dairy, no gluten…. any recipes
Very thankful marna
Sure! Did you look through these recipes? All gluten and dairy free. Minimal sugar. Can you have xylitol?
Thank you for your recipes I’m full of Inflammation and try to do the whole 30.and GF.
My pleasure Barbara! I have another healing meal plans with Whole 30 recipes if you need more recipes and ideas
Hi I need to be on gluten free, dairy free, anti inflammatory diet, no or very low sodium. What do you recommend to eat or meals? Thx
Any of these meals are a great start! Did you see all the other gluten free/dairy free meals plans?
Interested in learning more. Do you have any scientific proof to back up these claims?
Sure thing. I work under a sport dietitian. But I also get a lot of great info from Dr. Hyman and Dr. Axe. http://drhyman.com/downloads/eatyourmedicine.pdf https://draxe.com/anti-inflammatory-foods/
I accidentally bought cacao powder not cocoa powder… Will the cacao powder be fine since it’s the same bean?
Is this for the shake? Cacao works as well it’s just more rich and a tad more bitter. Still very good for you!! I’d add a little more sweetener to balance it out .
Cocoa is processed, cacao has the nutrients.
Cacao is wonderful. I agree! I use the raw dutch cocoa, it’s unsweetened. Lots of great minerals and nutrients.

Do you have a blog on low FODMAP diet and recipes?
Such a great reminder of how even temporary stress can deplete the body!
Totally! P.S how are you?!! Catch me up!
Your timing is impeccable. My mom was just asking me how to do an anti-inflammatory diet. I sent her this today! I always love your food, and your ideas. When we did the anti-inflammatory thing, we both felt better. The increased energy was fabulous! I need to do it again… like when I have surgery in July. Maybe I can get Vegas to cook me all these things…
I secretly made this for you and me. I need it, you need it, we can then recover and jet off to Europe and start fresh. LOL!
fabulous recipes, exactly how we eat at our house!
Shame on you for including pop up ads that will not close on your site! I was looking forward to maybe getting some info but it’s way too hard to read with the ads in the way so I’m giving up.
can you let me know where? I would like to take them down. I didn’t know I had pop up ads!!
Wow such a nasty way to talk to her after all the effort she’s put in ..
So what !!!!who cares there are ads if you cannot read these posts as ads are distracting then you are easily distracted
I have not but I should! I think when I have some money I might try this home kit that a friend is using to test
foodintolerances…. 🙂
Thank you very much for the information you shared, it’s all I’ve been looking for
These recipes look amazing!! and I LOVE your perspective and vast knowledge – yes vast!! – on all things nutrition, food, and the best eats for those suffering from stomach issues…I now have soooo much more appreciation for those that suffer, after my bout with SIBO (and pray it does not return!!). xoxo
What is SIBO?
just emailed ya!
This is great websites, I visited some of them but I didn’t know that Google offers free games.And this is I play free flash games in this websites.
I’m so happy I came across this! a few years ago I went on an anti-inflammatory diet. I was having terrible pain in my joints that the doctors couldn’t diagnose. It was so bad that some days it was extremely painful and near impossible to walk. No medications took the pain away. A friend recommended this type of diet. I made it my eating lifestyle. I recently have allowed myself to be lazy with it and that’s when the pain returns. I am happy to see this because I am in need of new recipes to try so it’s not just the same old same old. Thank you!
SO happy to connect Martha! Please let me know if you need anything. And keep me posted on your healing progress!
my ankles are so sore, I can hardly walk, and I’m diabetic. I want to try this, my doctor said to go dairy free.
Let me know how I can help!
Everything looks SO GOOD! I just discovered your blog and I”m obsessed :). Beautiful photos and yummy healthy recipes!
Thanks friend! Yes, we used to live in Austin. Just moved in January. We met at the Udis Dinner WAY BACK WHEN at the Blogher conference. Haha, like 2012?? Before i rebranded.
I love this post and definitely need an anti-inflammatory “calm-down” session! Can’t wait to get into some of these recipes!
Oh my goodness, so many amazing options! Thanks for putting this together!
These dishes are all so beautiful! And I love these tips. Definitely time for a reset for me (too much ice cream and cocktails this month!).
I love your site on Pinterest and saved it there and at three other sites I have joined.
How do I get to follow you on Instagram please?
Regards, Shayna.
This is awesome!
thanks friend. Pass me some cake once I’m done with this. LOL!
So many awesome eats!!
There are lots of nightshades being used in these recipes! These would cause inflammation.
I think it depends on the person. But you are right, it can cause inflammation if you are sensitive to them. I will note that.
All recipes look really yummy and healthy! I think I’ll try all recipes. SYNERGY POWER FUEL GREEN SMOOTHIE i will recommend for my friends-vegetarians! Thx fro sharing!
I’ve been looking for that for a long time. Thanks
Hi Lindsay,
Any thoughts on limiting nightshades as part of an anti inflammatory diet?
THANKS
Yes, it totally depends on the person. If you have an autoimmune illness, you might want to limit those for a time. HEre’s my nightshade free “healing” meal plan. Hope this helps! https://www.cottercrunch.com/healing-recipes-meal-plan/
Hi! I LOVE the look of this meal plan and I am so excited to try it out! I struggle with dairy and gluten in my diet and I always feel bloated and uncomfortable whenever I consume it! The only problem I have is that I am allergic to seafood/fish/shellfish! Do you have any tips for what I can replace these things with in the recipes? I am open to any suggestions! Thanks in advance 🙂
Sure! Have you tried added flaxseed and chia seed in for omega 3s? You could also take and algae based DHA/EPA. For choline rich foods, try eggs and mushrooms. Let me know how else I can help!
I love flax seed and chia seed as well as egg and mushroom so that would be perfect for me! I haven’t tried an algae based DHA/EPA but will for sure give that a shot! Thanks 🙂
here’s some info on them, just in case https://www.precisionnutrition.com/all-about-algae
Good information and some good recipes, but WOW, we need to do some proof reading! There are lots of “typos”, unfinished words and grammatical errors. I want people to look professional. As I used to tell students, read what you have written before you submit it. 🙂
Oh goodness, you are probably right. I try to write more informal, so that could be it too. Can I hire you to proof? Haha!
I am trying to get more energy. Am 62 years old. Gluten free dairy free has helped to curb my asthma.
I need help. Still working full time.
One small step at a time. You can do it! Have you checked out my healing recipes meal plan?
Lindsay, thank you so much for the absolutely wonderful recipes. I ‘ve had some very serious inflammatory issues and decided I needed to do something about my health in a hurry. Eating the same ol, same ol can be pretty boring. Your meal planning is fantastic and so exciting!!!! The Green Goddess Dressing is just an example of how yummy eating can be. I felt very satiated after my delicious lunch!! Kudos for the great work you do and thank you for sharing!
Just emailed you but in case it goes to spam I will comment here. I’m so glad to help! Thank you for reaching out. Please let me know if I can do anything for you in the meantime Edy!
What a wonderful resource! Thank you in advance as I am running out of GF & DF meal ideas for myself. In your [very educated] opinion, how long would you give a gut on this diet before starting to introduce dairy again? As I am NOT excited about giving up my yummy dairy but I am having too many guy and [secondary] skin issues to continue eating the way I have been. I plan to remain Gluten-Free but I am praying this Dairy-Free diet can be very temporary. What would you suggest as a healthy time line?
I can totally relate whitney! Don’t give up. I am happy to help. I would say try to take out dairy 90 days then slowly add back in cultured organic dairy and test after that.
Every recipe looks amazing! Your pictures are so beautiful Lindsay! Sharing on Pinterest!
Thank you so much friend!
I think I’ll stick with plain salmon, I don’t eat carbs, I hate coconut, period. Don’t like those spices. Hate yogurt, most of all I hate probiotics.
I’m not the author of this website but I just wanted to encourage you that your tastes may change! 🙂 I have sibo and have had to cut back my grains and sugars to manage my symptoms (no healing for me yet- antibiotics made me worse and Drs still cannot figure out and don’t seem to care what is causing it). I hated plain yogurt, nut butter, some veggies and things that I now see as being essential to helping my gut (and I love sugar! But I’m doing well using it minimally or mostly using natural sugars) when I first started eating better foods. Now I LOVE all the things I hated (and it didn’t take too long, probably a week or two for some of my tastes to change and several months for others).
There’s also nothing wrong with plain salmon! Delicious 🙂 But you may acquire a taste for some foods you hate.
Love it! So true Alicia!
Do you have a blog on low FODMAP diet and recipes? I suffer with IBS and was advised to try it to help lessen my flare ups. For it has taken over my whole life. Afraid of traveling anywhere as well, due to this unpredictable illness.
This dish I tried. Very delicious and nutritious. I like it.
More ideas please of what I can and cannot eat as I am new to the glutton and dairy free diet and need all the help I can get
nice article, thanks for this information.

Hi Lynn! The Anti Inflammatory Diet can work well for people battling inflammation. It really just depends on the person. Have you been tested for IBS or silo? If so, you may want to start with a low fodmap diet. It may be best to consult with a nutritionist or your doctor first:)

Thank you so so so much! I’m a young adult that is struggling with a recent diagnosis of Celiac’s disease and i’m tired of being in constant pain. I’m lactose intolerant and hypoglycemic as well and I don’t feel so hopeless anymore.
So glad we could help! Keep me posted Amanda
Lindsay, thank you so much for all this useful information! I’ve had a pretty bad health scare recently and doctors are having a hard time diagnosing the cause. I’ve had intestinal troubles and bloating for as long as I can remember. I was put on a liquid/soft foods diet for a week and I find that cutting out sugar has not only allowed me to lose weight fast (I’ve been gaining), but my skin has also visibly improved. So, I’ve decided to cut out sweets and gluten from my diet and see where this takes me. Thank you for the meal plan! x
So sorry to hear about your health scare Talia! Let us know how else we can help! And keep me posted.
Hi Lindsay
Can you please provide me with a general food list for gluten-, dairy- and sugar free foods?
Hi Lindsay,
Do you have a good Gingerbread house recipe? is Xanthan gum necessary?
Id be interested to hear your suggestions.
gingerbread house or bread?
Ginger bread house. Gingerbread that is strong enough construct a house
Hello there,
Your recipes look great! Once again I have frustrated with the fact that if you go with a gluten free, dairy free meal plan and are highly allergic to nuts…. weeeellll it leaves you with very little options.
What would you suggest? I can’t have almonds, cashews, all tree nuts and peanuts which means I can’t have the flour they are made out of. So many people forget this.
Ugh I hope you might be able to assist.
Cheers,
Anne
Oh I feel ya! Have you checked out our dairy free nut free meal plan? https://www.cottercrunch.com/meal-plan-nut-dairy-allergies/

This was so very helpful. Thank you SO much. I can’t wait to try them all.
I visit your site often to read a new recipe, thank you for teaching me how to cook tasty and healthy food
I don’t like to cook, but I like to browse your site, you have very tasty photos, and I cooked your recipes a couple of times, thanks.
Thank you very much for the recipes you provided for the photo, everything looks very appetizing. I will try to cook
This is a very interesting culinary recipes site with photos. A lot of different recipes for simple everyday and gourmet dishes of different categories. Step-by-step photographs, everything is painted so that even a child can prepare any dish. Very convenient site structure, as well as beautiful design. There are forums, a search engine, recipes for individual holidays, fasting recipes, as well as especially for young children. Something new and interesting constantly appears. When I go to this site, the “what to cook?” Problem immediately disappears. I already tried a lot of recipes from this site, and all the dishes were very tasty. Every time I want to please my husband with something, I go to the Cooking at Home website. It also has a program for recording your recipes, which you can download to your computer and use as a virtual cookbook, very convenient. I advise everyone to go to the “Cooking at Home” and look through the recipes, you will really like it!
I do not like to cook and for a long time thought that the kitchen is not mine. I was sure that cooking should be a vocation, talent and imagination. But since it is necessary to eat and feed households, I periodically searched the Internet for new recipes. Once I found this site. Since then it has been open in my browser constantly. For me, a huge plus is that there are a lot of photos on this site.
A lot of simple, sophisticated, delicious recipes, both for every day and for the holidays! You can cook something new every day. Even the most ordinary sandwiches for breakfast delight with its variety. Also a large number of recipes for children. My son especially liked the chicken souffle, but I’m in the simplicity of cooking! I’m homework delighted, thanks for such a wonderful site.
My family and I try to eat right, so we carefully think through the menu, thanks for your recipe, and for the opportunity to maintain our health in order!
Your the best,, I order the cook book months ago and am still waiting for it.
Can’t wait too try these receiptes1
Hi there! I am new to this world, & to be honest, quite lost, as I was recently diagnosed with an intolerance to dairy, gluten, & yeast. Is this meal plan a good place to start? Thank you in advance!
Hi Krista! Yes, this is a good place to start. Or have you checked out the anti-inflammatory starter guide with free email series? I also have an anti-inflammatory meal prep, reset, kick start, healing meal plan, etc. all my meal plans are here.

I like information about inflammatory diet, but I’m very suprised you recommended eggs. Egg causes inflammation, it’s very strong source for feeding parasites and after that you can “enjoy” more toxins in bloodstream and more weak liver. Cut off eggs for stopping circle of sick, fat and sad body&mind. namaste
Very true! It depends on the source of egg (like duck egg, pasture raised, etc.) And it depends on the person, ya know? I think I mention that in this post but I will make sure to update it! Thank you for the feedback Erica.
Dear, any eggs are source of information. Don’t cheat yourself, when you want to belive in tasty eggs. Egges are eggs. Doesn’t matter which.
Happy to discover all this healthy tasty info. Thanks
This looks amazing but there is no way I could ever eat the same thing for 7 days in a row. Just personal preference but I can’t stomach eating leftovers past the next day. This is my biggest challenge with meal prepping..
Let me know if you need more ideas! I have a 30 day AI guide too. I totally understand the need for variety!
I have a disease due to which I need to eat right. I often look at recipes here, cook, and it helps me to stay healthy, thanks!
You’re welcome, Adam! Glad to help!
Loved this recipe indeed! Helped me a ton!
Glad to hear that!
Hi! My two year old has extremely bad eczema and none of the creams are really helping. We would like to cut out all dairy and gluten for a month to see if that helps. Can you offer any recipes that a kid would be interested in eating that are relatively easy to make?
Thanks.
Totally feel ya brandon! check out my meal plans here. Almost all have dairy free options and kid friendly options are here. All are gluten free!

Easy to make and tasty. I added some hot chili powder and barley. Came out very good.
Thanks for your feedback Susan!
I love this recipes. My boyfriend is healing from stomach surgery and on a low calorie diet. He is Vegetarian, eats Fish and Eggs and Dairy. I am grateful you have various options! If you have any more low calorie, as he is on a 1000 calorie diet for his stomach to heal that is protein and nutrition packed that would be amazing. Thank you so much!
Oh glad it helped! I don’t have very low calories options, but my friend skinnyfitalicous just published a book for a that! check out her site https://skinnyfitalicious.com/low-calorie-cookbook/
I m from Indian…..and suffering from rhemutoid arthritis….so can u suggest me some Indian Mediterranean recepie that I can make
What about a coocnut curry soup?
What if you are allergic to nuts, sesame & coconut?
I have a nut free/dairy free meal plan that might help! Or have you checked out the healing meal plan? AIP options
Un petit pour vous dire que votre blog est super!
Some things I cannot eat but finnally it’s also perfect!
Always here, Lori, if you have any questions!
What about when you need a gluten-free, dairy free, low oxalate, low sugar, gastroparesis, ulcer diet?
Have any idea what foods are left that I can eat? Because I am at a loss. Everything one diet says is okay one of the others says I can’t have.
You would be surprised how many people need a low oxalate diet for digestive issue to heal your gut. When your gut is in despair it allows oxalates to leach into your blood stream which causes more inflammation, in my experience, than any other issue listed above. Its especially important for people who are gluten-free.
Oh that’s a tough one! I can definitely work on that. Have you checked out our healing diet? AIP diet? Minus the spinach. 🙂
Please, if you could help we are desperate with finding recipes. Any ideas or directions would greatly be appreciated. I’ve looked on your web site and I am having difficulty finding things that I can eat. Your site is not the only one, I am asking anyone for help,direction or even we’re I might find the information I am looking for. Mealtime at my house is so stressful for my dear mom who is my primary caregiver. Unfortunately, many years ago I was miss diagnosed and found I am infected with Lyme Disease. This has now led to a life of disability and chronic inflammation with a lot of food sensitivities, intolerance and food allergies. Many times you will find either my mom or myself breaking down in tears because we just do not know what to feed me. I am allergic to gluten, eggs, milk, soy, almonds, peanuts, walnuts, bean of all kinds, peas and pea protein, carrot, tomatoes, pink Himalayan salt, cola nut, barley, shell fish, radish, agar, msg. I know certain night shades, vinegars accept apple cider vinegar, rice, corn, all onions excluding purple onion cause me more pain. I also suffer from glucose intolerance and I need to take pancreatic enzymes because I do not digest my food. Please I have never been so desperate and I just do not know where to turn. Thank you for taking the time in reading and any help or suggestions you might have is greatly appreciated. Stay well and stay safe.
I’m so sorry to hear this Kari! Have you checked out the AIP diet? What type of testing are you doing?
many many thanks for this wonderful recipe..i will definitely try this one
