Hi ,

Is it OK to stir fry the tofu in phase 1? I can do lots with that.

Its the bakeing that is getting old. I tried vegan for a while. no

can do. I need my dairy in my coffee or I am not a nice person in the

morning. OK I may have a slight coffee addiction. I live in Seattle,

go figure.

How about using beans for protein?

As for tofu, I have a recipe for tofu sandwich spread around here

somewhere, and another for stuffed tofu pockets. I have to look for

them, tho.

That's because this really isn't a diet per se -- it's a healthy way of

eating. The diet itself is geared towards nutritional eating and getting a

balanced day's run of meals. The rest is left up to the body.

Nope -- the material in the book is out of date. There have been a LOT of

updates since it came out. The info is available on the SBD site and

generally trickles down to the various groups courtesy of those who pay to

subscribe to it. (It's the only thing the site is actually worth, IMNSHO.)

That's what it's all about! :) Welcome to da Beach!

It is in the book, I think right before the phase 1 recipes. Look in

the files section here for the foods to eat and foods not to eat on

phase 1, as it is there, too.

I use either. If I'm in the mood for Good Seasons Italian or Ken's

Steakhouse Caesar, I just eat them. I only use 1 Tbsp per salad. The

monounsatured and polyunsatured fats are a necessary part of

nutrition. But, if I want to use more salad dressing, say to dip

veggies, I use fat free, so I won't go overboard.

The salad dressing can't have more than 3 grams of sugar per

serving, which is 2 Tbsp. That may be the reasoning. But, judge for

yourself. Take a look at the bottle and see if it has 3 grams or

less of sugar and 14 grams or less of fat per serving.

Sara,

My son was 2 1/2 when diagnosed...he's now just turned 4 and is THRIVING. Our diagnosis was quick, too, and like you after reading the horror stories we're very grateful.

I use Bette Hagman's True Yeast Bread recipe for bread, it's easy and it's really good. Feel free to email me outside of the group anytime!

Hi,My just turned 2yo was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease. We aregrateful to have been given a diagnosis so quickly since we have readsome horror stories about how long it takes people. When we firststarting testing I immediately put him on a GF diet and he respondedwithin just a few days. That was good enough for me, but it's alwaysnice to have a doc agree with you. ;-) (For irony, the show MedicalMysteries premiered the week Celiac was mentioned to us and they had aCeliac boy on the show...weird. :-D)Anyway, we are currently trying to get the bread making down. Not alot of success but I read a few things here today that may explain myproblems.One question I have is about Glutenfreeda.com...I saw it mentionedhere in a message...do you think it's worth the money? I have a fewof Betty Hagman's books but am particularly looking for recipes thatare quick AND fattening. Since I have kids, her fast cooking book isnot a huge help to us since it's for people on a diet. My son has FTTas a result of the Celiac and so he needs a lot of fattening foods toget him back to where he ought to be. Does Glutenfreeda.com have alot of recipes like that?Thanks.ttp://www.homeschoolblogger.com/mistresninos

Oh, and I paid for a month of Glutenfreeda to try...and found I get just as much,if not more, out of this group and the Delphi Forum group.

I have never used glutenfreeda so I can't comment on how good it is but I just wanted to tell you that I have always easily found gluten free recipes online without paying for any services. You can search the files section of this group for recipes. You will find recipes that are specifically gluten free on celiac.com, gluten.net, and delphiforums.com and lots of others, I am sure. I also mainly use allrecipes.com, foodnetwork.com and epicurious.com to search for good recipes that are sort of "naturally" gluten free. What I love about those sites is they have ratings by people who have tried the recipes and often make helpful comments or suggestions or just keep you from wasting your time on a recipe that is really bad. Also what I love about allrecipes.com is that you can do a search on specific ingredients you want to use and exclude ingredients you don't want (like flour, bread, etc.) and it will come up with a list for you.

I have no idea what FTT is, but my son also needed a high fat diet when first diagnosed because he had become so ill (practically withered away to nothing). I just added fats wherever I could like cooked his potatoes in olive or canola oil--not deep fried like french fries but more like pan sauteed. I threw a scoop of sour cream into his mashed potatoes, added butter to his broccoli or whatever veggies, melted cheese over his rice or gluten free pasta--things like that. Shepherd's pie is coming to mind as a good, non figure friendly meal that is naturally gluten free--just ground beef ,veggies and seasonings on bottom, topped with mashed potatoes (and cheese on that if you want), then baked.

Hope this helps you somewhat even though I didn't answer your actual question.

My son also was tiny when he was diagnosed at 3, he is now almost 5. I used

(and still do use) all the high fat ideas that were passed on already, they

are good ones. Also, use whole milk, yogurt, cheese, cream cheese, premium

ice cream. I add powdered milk and butter to hot cereal (which I make with

whole milk). Ask you Dr. about using Pediasure (very high in calories).

Pudding, nuts and nut butters (if ok). Red meat (if ok). Although I do try

to limit the sugar in his diet I never say no if my son wants to eat.

Good luck,

Elise

Hi,

My just turned 2yo was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease. We are

grateful to have been given a diagnosis so quickly since we have read

some horror stories about how long it takes people. When we first

starting testing I immediately put him on a GF diet and he responded

within just a few days. That was good enough for me, but it's always

nice to have a doc agree with you. ;-) (For irony, the show Medical

Mysteries premiered the week Celiac was mentioned to us and they had a

Celiac boy on the show...weird. :-D)

Anyway, we are currently trying to get the bread making down. Not a

lot of success but I read a few things here today that may explain my

problems.

One question I have is about Glutenfreeda.com...I saw it mentioned

here in a message...do you think it's worth the money? I have a few

of Betty Hagman's books but am particularly looking for recipes that

are quick AND fattening. Since I have kids, her fast cooking book is

not a huge help to us since it's for people on a diet. My son has FTT

as a result of the Celiac and so he needs a lot of fattening foods to

get him back to where he ought to be. Does Glutenfreeda.com have a

lot of recipes like that?

Thanks.

I love glutenfreeda.com myself. I've been using it this week to plan for a brunch I'm giving. You can sign up for one month for $5 and search the recipe archives all you want to see if it's worth it for you. But be careful if you do that, it will automatically charge you each month until you unsubscribe.

I love glutenfreeda.com myself. I've been using it this week to plan for a brunch I'm giving. You can sign up for one month for $5 and search the recipe archives all you want to see if it's worth it for you. But be careful if you do that, it will automatically charge you each month until you unsubscribe.

-------------- Original message -------------- Hi,My just turned 2yo was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease. We aregrateful to have been given a diagnosis so quickly since we have readsome horror stories about how long it takes people. When we firststarting testing I immediately put him on a GF diet and he respondedwithin just a few days. That was good enough for me, but it's alwaysnice to have a doc agree with you. ;-) (For irony, the show MedicalMysteries premiered the week Celiac was mentioned to us and they had aCeliac boy on the show...weird. :-D)Anyway, we are currently trying to get the bread making down. Not alot of success but I read a few things here today that may explain myproblems.One question I have is about Glutenfreeda.com...I saw it mentionedhere in a message...do you think it's worth the money? I have a fewof Betty Hagman's books but am particularly looking for recipes thatare quick AND fattening. Since I have kids, her fast cooking book isnot a huge help to us since it's for people on a diet. My son has FTTas a result of the Celiac and so he needs a lot of fattening foods toget him back to where he ought to be.

DD is almost 3 and we're getting blood tests soon. Any tips on surviving the blood draw?

Sara,

My son was 2 1/2 when diagnosed...he's now just turned 4 and is THRIVING. Our diagnosis was quick, too, and like you after reading the horror stories we're very grateful.

I use Bette Hagman's True Yeast Bread recipe for bread, it's easy and it's really good. Feel free to email me outside of the group anytime!

Bridget
