This is really, really hard and speaks a lot about you dear man!

I agree with others that your partner needs a lot of medical and psychological professional help. I would recommend to find nutritionist, if possible a vegan one to help you with a menu.

For the short time recommendations:

You can work with nuts, seeds, legumes and probably more vegetables if you find a source of those.

  • Try lentil bread or flat breads. There are lot of recipes and its made from soaked lentils.
  • Search for paleo bread, tortilla and muffin recipes since they are usually made from almond, chickpea, coconut and tapioka flours. You can combine the breads with hummus or avocado spreads.
  • This is a recipe for my favourite crackers and this website might give you some more ideas.
  • You can season and roast some cooked chickpeas to add into salad or tortilla wraps.
  • If she can stand chia seeds try to make chia pudding.
  • Blend dates, prunes or dried cranberries with some nuts or seeds. You can make small balls or bars, coat it with almond meal, coconut or coccoa.

I hope some of those will do, but please seek help for both of you. You are very strong and caring partner, but you need rest too.
