Question about food allergies

[Guest guest]

I have a question as well. A friend of mine called me

regarding her son since I am the only vegetarian she

knows. Her son is autistic, and has been going through

a lot of testing and regimens to assist with that. We

knew before that he was unable to eat wheat, dairy, or

casein, but now they have also added no soy to that

list and she is at a loss as to what to feed him. If

anyone here can offer any assistance it would be

greatly appreciated. She is especially looking for kid

friendly recipes.

 

Thank You all,

HI MIsty,

I've been sort of MIA>. and will be for the next couple of weeks (I " M

GOING TO NYC!!!) but I had to answer your request...

The best group for help & recipes that fit those specifications (in my

opinion) is the group... you should be able to

find in in .. but if you need help, just let me know.

 

they have wonderful files full of recipes, but more importantly, many

parents with experience that will help you & your friend! =)

 

Good luck, and please write if you have any questions.. if I don't

respond, feel free to send a message to me directly.. =)

Misty,

 

Wow - that's a tough one. This hits close to home for me as I

struggle daily with multiple food allergies with my kids. My heart

goes out to your friend.

 

I'm sharing some general info that might help her convert recipes.

Also, we love almond and rice milk at our house. We use it to drink,

cook and bake with.

 

This is from a book called " Special Foods for Special Kids by

Adelman/Behrend.

 

Substitutions for flours:

 

1 cup all-purpose flour equals:

 

7/8 cup rice flour(brown or white)

3/4 cup soy flour

5/8 cup potato starch flour

3/4 cup potato starch

1 cup corn flour

1 cup corn meal

1 cup tapioca flour

3/4 cup chick pea flour

7/8 cup garbanzo bean flour

 

To help baked goods hold together that don't contain wheat, add 1

teaspoon xanthan gum (can be found in most health food stores) for

each cup of flour in your recipe.

 

Also, if you don't have a good health food store near you this is a

good website to find wheat-, dairy-, soy-free foods

www.ShopByDiet.com

 

Take care!
