Anyone with Gluten/Wheat allergies try or have a successful boy sway?

I never said that at all. There are no forbidden foods, you can have rice. Just be sure to eat protein and carbs together at every meal and snack, so rice with meat or other proteins.

It can be confusing but just keep asking, pretty soon it will fall into place. If you understand the general purpose of the HE Diet, then you don't need to know the specifics on every food because you will already know it.

Here's a cheat sheet:

There are no forbidden foods

2200-2500 cals for the average person, 2000-2200 for those who need to hold steady without gaining weight

3 meals a day and 2-5 snacks a day

Protein and carbs at every meal and snack

Real foods are best

Prenatal every day

9-11 servings of colorful fruits and vegetables

Nuts and eggs every day if you can

Unlimited healthy and saturated fat, avoid transfats

Limit nitrates and pesticides when possible

Avoid shellfish and organ meats, oily fish 2x a week

3pink1blue got her boy on the paleo HE diet which I think? didnt have any grains at all, just meat, fish fruit and veg, so the lack of wheat worked for her

ELP I am a pescatarian (I Only eat fish for meat) so I hope that will work for me!

I think I told you this already but be sure to limit fish to 2x a week when TTC, due to the risks of mercury

Yes you did. I remembered that! I have only been eating salmon too when I do eat fish. Occasionally tilapia but 95% of the time it's salmon
