RE: MOM'S FAVORITE RECIPES... Anybody?

April 4, 2011

I make a really yummy coconut flour muffin for my son and he loves it 1/4 cup

coconut flour mixed with 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt and cinnamon. Add to

wet ingredients which are 3 eggs, 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup oil. I also add 1

large shredded zucchini or 1 cup butternut squash puree or shredded carrot. Mix

all together and put in 12 nonstick muffin liners and bake at 350 for 25-40

minutes--they will be nice and brown on top when done. Hope that helps--you can

even add different fruits like blueberries if you want.

MOM'S FAVORITE RECIPES... Anybody?

I started the diet after 1 1/2 years in GFCF diet. I was relieved that

rice, potatoes and white bread (and some corn) were allowed.

HOWEVER, we saw a negative reaction on wheat and (believe or not) rice

(including the ceral). My husband swears that corn flakes did the same... so all

3 are out of the map. This leaves me with only potatoes.

My son has been doing OK with lunch & dinner (meat & veggie for the most

part)... but breakfast? I'm running out of eggs & bacon (I try to add ham or

onions to the eggs for a change, but... eggs every day?)... Cereal and bread are

out of the question; it seems as if he reacts with any starchy food...

Anyways, I have found some good recipes in the Specific Carbohydrate diet

(PECANBREAD.COM) that do not contain dairy or nuts. Did not find but one recipe

for breakfast.

Point is.... We as mothers have found ourselves cooking unimaginable recipes

that either we have created ourselves or have heard from one another. I can't

believe that this group doesn't have a database with recipes submitted by moms

(or dads)... This I think would be priceless information from the pioneers of

the generation to all moms that just joined or will in the future...

Please, help me... I don't know if the fact that his menu is becoming smaller

and smaller just makes me so crazy I can't even be creative about his meals....

THX!!!

For my son, I usually give him a banana (one of his two " allowed " fruit servings

a day under Dr. G) at breakfast and either homemade chicken nuggets (who says

you can't eat them for breakfast?) or a waffle made with potato starch flour. If

your son tolerates it, you can also try plain goat milk yogurt sweetened with

some Splenda. -- Holly

Did your son have a problem with rice krispies? Its possible its not the rice

making him react but the malt barley thats in it (source of gluten)

My daughter doesn't tolerate any gluten and no goats products either, she is

just too sensitive. But we are okay with Rice and Potato also. I make homemade

pancakes (those are hard to mess up) and sausage for breakfast. The nice thing

about pancakes is you can freeze a bunch of them ahead of time and microwave

them when you need them.

I can send you a recipe if you like!

Yes, my son reacted to rice, just plain rice. For the longest time I was in the

GFCF diet, everything was rice: rice chips, rice milk, rice pasta, white rice,

brown rice, rice cereal, you name it. i started noticing that he would get

hyper and very " autistic " after meals, and i couldn't figure out why (I was

doing everything right... right?), and several hours later (around the time for

the next meal) he seemed calmer. I told my husband " it's as if the food makes

him hyper! " I confirmed that rice was one of the causes one day that we had to

run errands and we ended up in a restaurant... he was so tired I had to start

singing songs to keep him awake. Then he ate some steak & rice, and some

grilled onions.. that's it. Then I though " this boy is going to sleep as soon

as I put him in the car seat " .

After the restaurant I drove home almost 1 hr and he was jabbing the whole trip

back, and didn't even yawn.

So... I should say, Thank GOD I found out rice was a big problem. We

immediately started noticing his eye contact was better as soon as we removed

the rice and kept him on veggies & meat, non-tropical fruits, water and/or

watered juice. he still have dark circles under his eyes, but at this point I

can't even guess what this could be caused by.

So.. yeah... rice cereal caused the same reaction.

we have not met with Dr. G yet, and wont see him until july 12th.

In the mean time, any recipes for breakfast without rice, corn, or wheat will be

appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anything coconut and of course blueberries are a no-no on the diet.

Remember, carbs, like muffins, are a real treat and therefore used very

sparingly, as the diet should consist mostly of protein and veggies and only

2 fruit servings per day avoiding berries, tropical fruits and for many

citrus as well.

Sorry to be the barer of bad news. The muffins do sound delicious, but not

for a kid.
