Intro

[Guest guest]

Hi, my name is Pam and I have been vegetarian or vegan for 14 years.

Hubby vegetarian for 12 or 13 now, and DS veg since birth (9.5). In

November, we started gluten free/casein free diet for DS, only to

discover in the process that both hubby and I are sensitive to gluten

as well (which is more surprising than you think, because DS is

adopted, so we have three unrelated people in one family all gluten

sensitive). I've known for a long time that I am sensitive to dairy,

and hubby knows he is lactose intolerant, but won't give up his milk,

so I don't know if he is casein sensitive or not. At least he has cut

down on it a lot, and has recently found that he loves Vita-Soy milks.

 

We have been cooking with eggs - most of the gluten-free bread recipes

that I found are pretty eggy, and I have been hesitant about

substituting eggs in a gf recipe (even though I didn't have a problem

doing it with wheat recipes), so I am glad to find this group.

 

We are also avoiding corn (as much as possible) and trying to keep our

soy intake down, as those are both possible culprits as well. It's

been quite an overhaul to our lifestyle!

 

I worry about using too much rice and soy ingredients and ending up

sensitive to one of those.

 

Well, there you are. I will post questions as they come up.
