you can try www.gfcfdiet.com
Their is a wealth of info on that site and tons of people to guide you through it. There is a good health store in Quincy and in Hanover and those people are soooooooo helpful to you on thses issues. I found bread that is awesome........Breads by Anna.....she also has a website with a phone number and she answers her phone and is so helpful to you also. The bread you can cut, it doesn't crumble, it freezes great and the best thing, it is a good tasting bread. Whole foods and Trader Joes are other good stores. Trader Joes has gluten free frozen pancakes and waffles that are yummy. They taste just like the regular ones. I hope this helps you.

Hi S.,

I have a son who does not do well with wheat, among other things. He has been eating quinoa for over a year now and seems to do very well with it. Have you tried it? We just stick to the basics, mainly fruit (grapefruit, papaya) for breakfast, quinoa, cooked artichokes, red peppers, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. He is growing well and smart as a whip. But I have to say the first 2 years of his life was very, very rough with head to toe eczema and many, many allergies. He received lots of cranial sacral work and still does about once a month and I found it to work wonders.

Our experience has brought us as a family closer to God, more in tune with living in the moment, keeping things simple and I see it as a real blessing. I think all these rough patches in life provide us as humans ways to grow more spiritually and I know this experience did just that.

Good luck in finding more recipes. A site you might want to take a look at is www.goneraw.com
Many people eat a mostly raw diet but many are eating a combination of raw, vegetarian, and some cooked food. I just find it helpful with good ideas, new ideas and a different persceptive on the many options we have with food.

I have a four and a half year old daughter with celiac disease. She was diagnosed just before her second birthday. I can't say I am an expert, but I'd be happy to talk with you. My email is ____@____.com, are you a member of the Children's Hospital Support Group? Their newsletter is sometimes helpful.

My husband has celiac and has since he was probably thirteen (though not diagnosed until later) so our whole house is gluten free.
We use regular cookbooks but substitute Bob's Red Mill Gluten free flour and use gluten free (usually rice) pasta. We like Tankeda brand of all the ones we have tried.
Also there is a great line of baking mixes called "Really Great Food Company." Their pancakes and pizza crusts taste great and my kids eat them no problem.
