I adapted a recipe for lemon squares by Tamar Ansh for a passover sedar I am making. Half way through the recipe I switched from agave to sugar, because my son went to a party today and had a ton of sugar and did fine. I can’t tell you how huge it is that he […]

An epsom salt bath is a simple way to draw toxins out of the body–and increase magnesium. I purchase epsom salts from Mountain Rose Herbs. Epsom salt is not available as a certified organic product as it is a natural mineral, magnesium sulfate, taken from the earth. But since Mountain Rose Herbs sells so many […] This collard greens and carmelized onions is from the cookbook Greens Glorious Greens by Johnna Albi & Catherine Walthers, which my friend, Tia, gave me. It is a fabulous cookbook that has really inspired me to incorporated more greens into my diet. The sweet taste of caramelized onions is delicious with the collard greens. My […] I adapted a recipe from Bette Hagman’s Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Comfort Foods to make this easy chili. For added nutrition and flavor, I threw in two liver/kale burgers from the freezer. My kids often prefer the simple homemade McDonald’s hamburgers I make to chili, but sometimes my three year old surprises us and eats more […] loading

Our Family Is His - Totally OT, but I have a question I thought you might have the answer to. Reflux and GFCF diet, any connection? We had to take DS #1 off a totally GFCF because he was not eating at all and we were looking at a feeding tube. We were just trying to build him back up to where he was strong enough to work back onto anything GFCF. His biopsies came back today and he has esophagial damage due to reflux. Now, he wasn’t on total GFCF long enough to fix this if it could be related. So the damage wasn’t that quick. Could this be something helped by GFCF? Is it at all related? He has Autism so we will be moving to a full GFCF very soon.
gfcfmom - some doctors think reflux is totally gluten related. My husband got severe reflux on a gluten challenge. I would move toward GFCF and SF (no soy.) Soy is not good for kids. I would try to be totally GFCF as the diet doesn’t work unless you do it 100%. Also,you might think about buying a vitamix blender for smoothies. It breaks down the food so you can digest it easier. Just a thought since you mentioned the feeding tube. I thought it might be something to try–you can put almonds and a few dates in the blender and it makes a super creamy milk.
Our Family Is His - I was thinking of moving him to Almond milk (since we already have my 14 month old on it as he’s allergic to dairy, soy, and oat milk). We are going to move him 100% GFCF very soon. We had to get over this ridiculous hump in his eating. We are sooo over that with this new medication. It might have saved us from having to place a feeding tube. Thank you for your input. After seeing how our bodies function together instead of in individual pieces, I couldn’t imagine these things weren’t somehow tied together.
Jane D. - I found this great site with loads of Dairy Free Holiday recipes. I recommended it to my sister who has an autistic child and she loves it. There is also a cool video on the bottom of the page where Rose Cole (founder) is making one of her recipes http://www.RoseCole.com/HolidayCookbook
Debra - I worry about finding tasty gluten free recipes as gluten has been linked to autism and I prefer to just avoid it all together. I’ve tried tons of different recipes and expensive “organic foods” from the stores but I recently came across this website http://www.RoseCole.com/HolidayCookBook . Rose Cole who is the nutritionist behind the site puts up all these great gluten free recipes in her Holiday Cookbook that are easy and affordable. I think I’m actually looking forward to cooking on the holidays for once. Lol
