Just beginning
My son is Autistic and we have justbegan the gfcf diet. It’s been 2 1/2 weeks and so far we are doing OK.I can see that it will get harder as we go on. Once he will eat morefood. What I’m struggling with at this point is the hidden gluten andcasein in packaged foods. If any of you know of a site or a list I canfound of acceptable foods that would be great. I have an unacceptablelist. I’m looking for things I can buy in a regular supermarket. Icame from a very small town. The nearest health food store is 40 milesaway. (and it’s not a very good one.) I would appreciate any help Icould get. It’s nice to know that there are 1000’s of us out theretrying to accomplish the same goal.

Would you be interested in buying food on-line? If so, your optionsare great. Not a cheap way of feeding your child, but good forsnack foods and those “I don’t want to cook” days.

Go to this site and scroll down at the different mixes. Itisn’t “pre packaged” b/c you have to cook it but it IS GFCF mixeslike waffle/pancake, cookie, bronie, blondie, and cake. Just don’tbuy the pizza mix. It’s aweful!!! (only 1/2 the link will show as ahyperlink to click on. If you click on it the page won’t display.You have to copy and paste the first 1/2 of the link into thebrowser and then copy and paste the 2nd 1/2 of the link into thebrowser. The 2md 1/2 is located under the 1st 1/2. For some reasonyou can’t post long links on this message board and it work right.)https://www.namastefoods.com/shopping/storefront/cgi-bin/item_list.cgi
http://www.glennys.comGlennys.com sells great snacks. Their soy chips are great. I havefound them at our local Wal-Mart but this is the ONLY thing I havefound there. You’ll find that it’s far and few being able to findsomething at a “normal” grocery store. You may need to call yourhealth food store and request that they carry certain things andthen load up when you go there. Our health food store carrieseverything we ask them to. We ask them for new things all the time;all i have to do is give them the product name and in 3 days theyhave it.
http://www.ener-g.comThis website sells TONS of great stuff. My son especially loves theGFCF sesame seed pretzels. Again our health food store carries allof this for us so I have no idea how the online shopping experienceis. I’m sure it’s fine though. Tons of people purchase online.
