Re: Dairy Free Diet? Bleached Flour is okay?

February 16, 2006

I use a lot of olive oil when appropriate and occ'ly

coconut oil. As a margarine, there are milk free

versions in a health food store, but Fleishman's makes

a LOW SODIUM version which is also milk free. It

comes in a stick form so can be used for baking or

buttering bread. Barb ps: re: pretzels. as I

interpret it, you only use the white processed bread

or buns when it is in combination with a protein as in

a sandwich or a hamburger. I wouldn't give pretzels

very often, as it is gluten, and we're trying to cut

back on it. What about rice cakes? My kids like them

as a snack.

Hi ,

I use Newman's Own Spelt Pretzels -- they're delicious and almost

indistinguishable in taste and texture from the ones made from regular

wheat flour. They taste a little like sourdough. DS loves them!

Forgot to mention -- if your child tolerates soy, Earth Balance

Margarine is available at Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Trader Joe's, etc.
