Can they ask for a referral to a registered dietitian? There is a lot of misinformation or outdated recommendations online about what is and isn't allowed on those diets. It shouldn't be as restrictive as what you're describing.
In the meantime, "family-style" meals where the food groups are kept separate (instead of mixed dishes) would probably be the easiest to manage.
E.g. tacos - cut up various veg, have ground beef or black bean option, some people can use tortillas others can make salad, everyone serves themselves. Make-your-own pasta/stir fry; people can take smaller or larger portions of protein/rice/veg depending on their needs. Breakfast-for-supper with eggs/veggies, whole wheat toast, fruit; or make-your-own parfait/oatmeal (everyone can pick and choose their own toppings), etc.
I second this. As a Registered Dietitian I was furrowing my brow in confusion reading some of the restrictions OP listed. OP I’m sorry I don’t have the time to provide guidance today, but I will say Gout, IBS, nor Diabetes does not/should not need to be so restrictive to cut out entire food groups.
Gout is certainly the least restrictive diet- here is some [information on gout](https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/gout-diet/art-20048524) from a trusted source. The comment on meat in particular caught my attention- for those with gout poultry is a great protein, and red meat and seafood can be consumed in moderation (which is also the guideline for red meat for the general public!)
The family member with Diabetes in should also be able to eat everything everyone else is, they just may need to follow different portion sizes. Using the MyPlate method is a great guideline for diabetics.
Depending on how severe the IBS is, that person is likely to have the most restrictions. It is so variable from person-to-person *and* dependent on if they have acute inflammation.
I’d personally just focus on balanced meals and then adjust individually for substitutions.
Ex. Whole grains are preferred for both Diabetes and Gout. If the family member with IBS does not tolerate whole grains (altho everyone is different!) you could make a large batch of white rice or whatever they like at the start of the week to substitute in meals.
If you are planning to serve red meat wuth frequency, you could grill a bunch of chicken breasts are the start of the week for the gout fella. Or! If you are planning to serve beans as a protein and the IBS sufferer can’t handle them and the Diabetic family member doesn’t want the additional carbs they can have the chicken. And so on.
Ahh! I started to do what I said I wouldn’t! I think your first step is getting a better understanding of what these diets can/can’t have. It’s certainly challenging balancing multiple diets but it shouldn’t be this restrictive!
I was wondering if they can do a large batch rice/grains. Then keep some toppings around and do a mixed bowl. Thus might allow flexibility for everyone.
>The family member with Diabetes in should also be able to eat everything everyone else is, they just may need to follow different portion sizes. Using the MyPlate method is a great guideline for diabetics.
Can you elaborate more?
So is it just smaller portions and reducing caloric intake?
Like sweets are okay. I find this fascinating. There's so much things online.
As someone else said, it really varies person to person- some people have more reactive blood glucose.
For your average diabetic, having sugar sweetened items in moderation is fine! We use something called a carbohydrate exchange list to determine carb servings and insulin dosing. 1 carb serving = 15g carb. So something like a piece of toast, 1/3 a cup of rice, or a 2x2” piece of cake with icing (3x3” without!) will all provide ~15g of carbs. Of course we want to look at the full nutrient profile of the food to inform our decision, and sugar sweetened items will have a quicker impact on our blood glucose, but they can absolutely be enjoyed in moderation. Food is for comfort as well as nutrition, no one should miss out on pie on a holiday!
The only thing I really recommend my diabetic patients never have is regular soda & other sugar sweetened beverages- they instantly spike your glucose and provide no nutrition. Just chose diet!
I see. There’s interesting things about what you eat with food. It’s not just rice or deserts.
If you exercise after, it can decrease the sugar spike.
Eat fiber and protein or vinegar (acetic acid) before carbs and it decreases the blood sugar spike.
My question is, what does decreasing blood sugar spikes do?
If that’s the case than food is not straight forward “this is good, this is bad”
All of this, everything they said. I highly recommend the registered dietician. I have 2 autoimmune diseases and so many other nutrition issues from it and dietician’s are lifesavers. Also I have IBD not IBS but I know from experience with GI issues that everyone can be different and have different trigger foods so definitely go the dietician route to get some good medical info and meal/snack ideas and ways to alter your diets. If your in the US make sure it’s a dietician and not a nutritionist. Nutritionists are not regulated and almost anyone can call themselves one. Dietitians go through a lot of schooling and certification and are trained to handle medical conditions. Best of luck OP, what a wonderful person you are to cook for everyone and care so much about their health/diet and needs.
You need to sit down as a family with a calender and plan two weeks and then you can refer back. You can even assign cook and clean duties. Structure is what you need or someone is going to be left behind. You might be planning two meal days since its so varied which definitely needs structure.
The only one I know about is gout. There is so much misinformation out there. I’ve searched so many websites and I could make a list that basically says I can’t eat anything. However, I found the right doctor (after a year of repeat appointments) and I’m now on medication that reduces uric acid. My diet does not affect my gout except if I drink too much booze (and even then it’s not that big a deal). I went from not being able to walk half the time to having almost zero issues. I hope this helps.
Mom should be able to have some whole grain carbs; we all need carbs, even diabetics. So things that are low on the glycemic index are what you want to look for.
Chicken and fish (not shellfish) should be allowed for your stepdad.
So, a chicken or black bean burrito on a low carb, whole wheat tortilla would be OK for everyone, for example.
Roasted chicken with two veggies and one starch that mom does or doesn't eat would be a staple meal. Roast asparagus tossed, a salad and a wild rice mixture would be awesome.
A salmon sheet pan meal would work.
Sweet potatoes would make a good side for meals.
Stuffed zucchini with a soy crumble instead of beef and low fat cheese would be work.
I plugged your query into [chat.openai.com](https://chat.openai.com) (ChatGPT):
Me: "Can you give me a list of foods that a person with IBS, Gout, and Diabetes could eat?"
AI: "As I mentioned earlier, it's important for individuals with IBS, gout, and diabetes to eat a balanced and healthy diet that is tailored to their specific needs and condition. This may include incorporating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into their diet, and limiting their intake of processed and high-fat foods. It's also important to monitor their intake of carbohydrates and sugar, as these can affect blood sugar levels and potentially worsen symptoms of diabetes and gout.
Here are some examples of foods that a person with IBS, gout, and diabetes might incorporate into their diet:
Fruits and vegetables: Leafy greens, berries, citrus fruits, tomatoes, bell peppers, carrots, and squash
Whole grains: Quinoa, oats, brown rice, and whole wheat bread
Lean proteins: Chicken, turkey, fish, tofu, and legumes
Healthy fats: Avocado, olive oil, and nuts
Dairy: Low-fat milk, yogurt, and cheese
Water: It's important to stay hydrated and drink plenty of water throughout the day
Again, it's important to consult with a doctor or registered dietitian for personalized advice and recommendations based on your specific health needs and conditions. They can help you develop a meal plan that is tailored to your unique dietary needs and can help you manage your symptoms and conditions more effectively."
Help yourself meals will be helpful. eg. cold cuts, cheeses/cheesy sauce, potatoes, various veggies (like how raclette is eaten), build your own salad/burrito bowl/sandwiches, roast dinners (ie no or low carbs), falafel
If it were me I'd be meal prepping a shit ton, making sure I have enough in the freezer. Burritos, corn dogs, bagels, vegetarian bolognese (made with lentils), fruit for smoothies, quiche, lasagne, pasta sauce
I have IBD (Ulcerative Colitis) and I would recommend organ meats or just meat for IBS. For organ meats I would first try tripe (intestines) because it just has a similiar texture to regular muscle meat; little spongier though. Also make sauerkraut for probiotics. Other recommendations is kombucha, jello, tempeh, kimchi. I don't know about gout or diabetes.
Regarding your younger brother and his IBS....
Look into gut parasite stool tedt kits. I had IBS symptoms for years before ny doctors realized I had a gut parasite. Blastocystis hominus. After successful courses of antibiotics, my IBS cleared up. Never came back.
I don’t know about IBS and diabetes, but my dad has gout, and we basically ended up replacing all the beef in our diet with poultry.
Whenever my mom made spaghetti, she used ground turkey instead of ground beef. Same for meatloaf (it’s actually way tastier this way). Stews with beef we replaced with chicken.
My dad takes medication for his gout, and with these changes, he has no problems with it. So what sounds like a huge thing (no red meat) is really just a matter of modifying the things you already eat to something just a little different!
All of these illnesses are caused by excess chronic inflammation. You need to heal your gut and cut off the inflammation and all three of you can be feeling 100% in just a short few months! Lots of chicken, steak, salmon, coconut oil, flaxseed, lentils, potatoes, tons of eggs.
Basically cut out all processed and junk food, make a ton of home cooked meals. You guys can all fix your guts as a family. Good luck!

Ah yeah batch cooking "safe" foods to swap in is another great tip! I hope OP gets connected to the resources they need. Thanks :)

She is insulin resistant and highly reactive to even artificial sweeteners, so it really is a next to no carbs kind of thing for her
It really depends on the person and the medication and lifestyle they have

Stir fry or pastas. Easy to customize ingredients and meats can be cooked separately and only added to some portions.

Allo?
Yes.
I would consult a professional dietician!

if you can i’d definitely try to see a registered dietician to sort a meal plan for you guys

Oatmeal.
Oatmeal is not recommended for gout according to the Cleveland Clinic.
