A new study points out that “food allergies are overestimated,” The New York Times reported in their article “Doubt Is Cast on Many Reports of Food Allergies.” But a careful reading of this article reveals that it is the testing itself that often overestimates food allergies leading many people to believe they have allergies which […]

  • gfe--gluten free easily - Great post … so many of these studies and articles present limited data under specific circumstances, but they are presented and shared in the media as much more. It's very disheartening at a minimum and extremely harmful, leading people and/or their doctors to possibly not take their conditions seriously. It's something that those of us with gluten issues fight all the time. Oh, and excellent point on the dairy issue not being helped by being dairy free until your child was gluten free also. When the gut is compromised still, one can't heal until all the offending foods are taken out of the diet.

  • Sherri - LOVE this post! Very very true. Sadly I also say my son is allergic to "x" amount of foods…when really he only has 2 true "allergies" which is why we have an Epi-pen. Soy and Corn cause sever hives within minutes of eating and then he swells up like a balloon. However he is VERY sensative to over 40 more things, some more severe than others. But all the same we took the foods out and he got better…so great post!ReplyCancel

  • My Doodle's Dairy Free - Thanks for the great post! I am from a small town and getting my doctors here to comprehend that food affects my daughter and manifests itself as autism is beyond comprehension to them. Just yesterday I asked for a doctors note so my daughter could have a gluten free/dairy free lunch at school and she was reluctant to give it to me, as she had "no medical reason" to issue such a claim. Yet, since being on the diet, my daughter's autism symptoms have completely disappeared. I ask – how is that not medically necessary? I feel so much frustration that the medical establishment can link diet as cause of so many disorders, but absolutely refuses to consider the impact of diet on autism.

    Thank you for continually educating me and giving me the courage to fight ignorance in my small little town in MN.ReplyCancel

  • Dayhomemama - Have you ever tried coconut flour, it has 39g of fibre in a 100g! It is tricky to work with because it does absorb a lot of liquid; 1/4 cup is like a cup of many other flours, but it's great because it is also gluten free. Thanks for all the wonderful info too, I love your blog!ReplyCancel

  • Libby - Hi there. I have just found your blog and am looking forward to trawling through your recipes. Thanks for the hints about the different flours – I haven't tried many of them yet but now I will feel more confident.ReplyCancel
