Guest guest Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 It could make things worse if you do things half and half. Certianly it would for digestive related symptoms. Things like rice and veggies and jacket potatoes are ideal GF things though Liz Hi, I am the new member with the son, , who is m/mr, and am going to try to get him on the gluten free diet. Will it help any if we partially elilminate gluten? He goes to an ARC for part of the day and eats his lunch there. I send his snack. He enjoys going to the cafeteria and I would hate to take that away from him as he enjoys so little in life. He is not a " happy " person in general. He goes into depressions easily. Anyway. I thought I would make his at home meals as gluten free as possible. I have already bought some bread and cereal. So far he likes the cereal, but don't know how long that will last. He tends to sneak food since he was little, because we try to watch his weight to avoid diabetes. Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hi : Going gluten free is tough, no doubt about it. This is what worked for me: Bread is the hardest food to replicate gluten free, there is just no way to replicate the properties that gluten bring to bread. I suggest that you avoid it for a few weeks and allow yourself to get used to other gluten free foods before trying to incorporate GF bread. When you want to incorporate it, I like Pamela's brand of bread mix, seems to have the best flavor. I found pasta is an easy switch out (corn based pasta holds its shape and texture well). Lunches for kids can be hard so if they are sandwich eaters, take all their sandwich favorites and make them into a salad instead. I like to send carrots, broccoli, cauliflower in little bowls with hummus on the bottom of the bowls for dipping. Get really happy about baking from scratch! Find a copy of Annelise Gluten free baking classics cookbook. She is a pioneer in the GF field and her baking recipes work well. Donna Washburn is also a great GF cookbook author. Couple of great GF baking/cooking blogs are: http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/ http://www.elanaspantry.com/ http://thebakingbeauties.blogspot.com/ http://www.glutenfreediva.com/ http://www.livingwithout.com/topics/recipes.html Hope this helps. I am also in the process of getting my 10 year old to eat gluten free, baking her old favorites converted to GF really helps with the transition.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Regarding bread, things have got better fairly recently, whilst I dont get on with Genius brown bread, they now do a seeded bread which is nice and tastes and feels and behaves pretty similar to normal bread.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hi and Mell, I'm also gluten free ... i have a blog -- http://www.glutenfreedietblog.com if you want some tips. One thing I can say is that being gluten free hasn't helped me much with my misophonia. it's helped me with other issues with my immune system, such as allergies and digestive issues, but I haven't seen any impact on my nervous system, which is where I assume misophonia ultimately stems from. But everybody's different! Who knows. > > > > Hi, > > I am the new member with the son, , who is m/mr, and am going to try > > to get him on the gluten free diet.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks for the reply Joanne. I am still hopeful it will help with 's irritability. It really helps seeing how someone else is responding. I am not too sure what to look for. He did stay in the room last night while we watched tv and my husband and I talked - We kept it to a minimum, but seemed okay for a while.
