Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Hi, Kimberly! Just wanted to give you a warm welcome from someone else who had a son with autistic symptoms at age 2. My darling is now 4 years old, and like yours, 100% fine - no symptoms whatsoever - in fact, he's in kindergarten a year early because he is already starting to read and do math. He is celiac and has a skin prick positive dairy allergy. In regards to bread: have you tried Bob's Red Mill All Purpose GF flour? It is made with chickpea flour, fava flour, and sorghum flour (among other things like tapioca and potato starches) so it has some protein and some fiber. It also tastes wonderful, and is very easy to work with. I actually use regular cookbooks and can sub the Bob's Flour as long as I add a tsp. or 2 of xanthan gum to recipes. They also make a bread mix using the same flour that is great. We also buy Food For Life Buthanese Red Rice Bread and it is quite good and hearty. And lastly, there is a really nice support group for parents of allergic kids, and most of the kids are little like ours - it is called TerrificKidsWFA. Not too many recipes there, but good support. You'll find GREAT recipes here! HTH! Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Heidi, I also love Bob's Red Mill All Purpose GF flour. . .and bread mix! I use the bread mix in the automatic bread baker, and have found that flax seed gel works great for binding instead of eggs. The flavor is delicious and my husband (the GF family member) prefers it over any other GF bread we've found or tried. The flax seed " spoils " in the product more quickly than eggs to, though, so I keep it in the fridge after baking. Thanks for the link to TerrificKidsWFA. It's nice to be able to work together and help each other out with resources. Sincerely, LaDonna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 This is off the subject of Bob's Red Mill, I totally agree with you guys though, they have terrific products. My question is this, I got some coconut meat in a can and wondered how to use it. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear from you.
