Food ingredient ignorant person here 👋

I have to avoid nuts, seed, and corn for the next three days 😫 and I’m clueless about what kind of foods could have these ingredients, unless it’s obvious stuff like chips, pistachios.
Tofu? Hummus? What about rice paper? Is flour stuff, like tortillas safe and pasta?
I’m trying to go thru my kitchen to see what I can eat.
I’m going to be very grumpy for the next three days.

That's a broad category. Is the issue the items themselves (like avoiding for allergies) or textures (like some conditions you need to avoid little hard bits), or some other specific avoidance that might help with suggestions?

I’m having a medical procedure on Tuesday and I have to avoid those items

@see_the_sus

I'm not a doc, and not your doc, but that sounds like a "hard to digest and can get stuck in the digestive track" list to me. In which case, smooth well-grounded versions of things like flour and hummus are probably ok. But your best bet is probably to call and ask your doc if you aren't sure.

@misterfive

I can’t call them now since it’s the weekend and Monday will be too late. I’ll just err on the side of caution and eat lots of meats and potatoes.

Also, does your insurance have one of those 24/7 helplines? Many in the US do. They might be able to answer you more officially.
