Gluten free diet blog

Since the gf/cf/sf diet (3 months) and the supplements my son is constantlyhungry. Has anybody have a child like this? I thought it was a growth spurt butit has not let up. He eatss large volumes for his size and will eat anytime ofthe day.

My son will eat anything I put in front of him (some of the stuff tasteshorrible) I am amazed and glad especially when I hear about the picky eaters.But at the same time, is this normal??

I just find that some of his symptoms are so opposite to what I hear from otherparents, I wonder if there is something else I am missing.

Any views?

Has anyone made these GFCF? What would be the best choice to replacethe flour/matzoh meal to still have the stick-togetherness of thelatkes?

Does Ghee contain whey. If my son eats whey he’s bouncing off the wallswithin seconds.It is on the list of don’t use on the gfcf diet website.

I’m struggling to feed by child a varied GF/CF lunch. It seems thatI’m always sending him to school with the same lunch. Any ideas of howto pack more nutrition into a GF/CF lunch. My son self-limits to carbsso it is a struggle. Any ideas would be appreciated.

My son’s birthday is coming up and I am wondering where I can get acake or cupcake recipe that he can have. He has to have no refinedsugars as well as wheat and dairy. Can anyone suggest any ideas?

Has anyone herad about Dr. Unruh? He is a neurotherapist who sees children inthe usa,spain and belguim. I have heard from two moms that hes great and from twotherapiststhat hes dosent help kids at all, ( but dosent harm them either). I am on hiswaiting list formy son with pdd, any help will be nice to decide…

Has anyone heard anything good or bad about this? Someone broughtthis to my attention for my son and honestly, it scares me. I justdon’t know enough about it yet, I need to do my research. I thought Iwould ask some seasoned parents as well Thanks for any inputeither way!

I am considering ordering some and trying them out, but really have noidea what to get.Currently he gets a GourmetDigest enzyme at breakfast and dinner, amulti at breakfats, a cal/magD3 at bedtime, is on 4 differenthomeopathic drops for his colon and is on TD glutathione…I thinkthat’s it…my naturopath is pretty supportive of me trying differentsupps (hers are $$)Can you recommend any of the HNI? What’s the best to start with?(he needs chewables)

When you go on the GFCF diet, other than calcium, what vitamins arenow needed to supplement? What excactly does my child lose by cuttingout the gluten and casien? I mean taking pills is out of the questionso if his diet is basically the same as before other than thereplacing breads and milk, what is he needing? Will it be a lot?

I’m sure most of you know about these; but we just found that Paul Newman’scompany makes some really good GFCF items: Fig Newman’s (fig newtons), ChocolateAlphabet cookies, and Oreo type cookie. They are really good and my kidsespecially love the fig newman’s. These are making my life so much easier. Iam sending these to my 3yo son’s SDS class for the Harvest/Halloween Party. Ialso don’t have to bake snacks if I am pressed for time.

Also someone recommended Bob Red Mill GF Bread Mix….OH MY GOSH, why didn’tsomeone tell me about this before. My kids are eating sandwiches again. Itried all the other brands including E-nergy, making my own, and a host of otherstore bought brands. This is good enough that I am eating it. If anyone knowswhere I can buy this in a case for cheaper than Whole Foods sells it…Pleaselet me know. I encourage any of you newbies like me to try it. It is theconsistency of regular bread and taste variance is only slightly different. Notenough for my teens and husband to tell, plus since I made it in my breadmaker….I can serve it warm with GFCF margarine.
