Nuts have gone way up in price. I buy at Costco (Yorkdale) and use walnuts,

pecans and

almonds most of the time.I just made pecan flour in the food processor.

If you are near Toronto, please come to a free SCD evening Jan. 12, 2006, 7-9

p.m. at

Loblaws Forest Hill market on St. Clair West. We start paid SCD cooking classes

Thursday, Jan. 26-March 2, Thursday evenings from 7-9. You can email me at;

c. frilegh @ sympatico. ca for more information if interested.

Also, have a look at the dairy free introductory SCD diet autism version:

HI , WHEN you say Ontario do you mean Canada? If so I buy my nut flour at the

bulk barn and they also carry pecan meal and hazelnut and walnut. I have asked

about the pecan and the lady said it was just pecan.The nut flour states it is

almond (ground). Yes it is expensive it would be nice if we could claim it or

have some assistants from our government. Toni

Question to Ontario parents, from newbie

Dear Ontario parents

I'm just starting the SCD with my son who is 4.8 yo and affected by

ASD. I think we're facing an immediate road block: Currently he's not

eating too much illegal foods since we eliminated all Gluten, casein,

soy, sugar, corn and we're following Feingold as well. The big parts

we need to work on his diet are rice, potato (fries, a big food for

him), and pancake made from Bob's redmill rice flour. I'm looking for

the nuts flour for the replacement by shopping around the local health

food stores.

I asked for Hazelnuts, macadamia Nuts,Pecans, walnuts, Brazil nuts

Cashews etc. I was shocked: they are so expensive, I don't think an

average income family can afford it on regular basis. So my question

is that does anyone know a cheaper resource in Ontario/GTA to get

these nuts and flour? or any mail order you know? (Almond is a bit

cheaper but its out of scope due to phenol issue.)

I also noticed that except almond comes with the flour format, all

other nuts are of either halves or chips. The staff told me that it's

very difficult to get them into flour since its so oily, is that true?

Once we can overcome these 2 issues I think it would be much easier to

carry on with this diet. Thanks for your wonderful advices, can't

image how can we do this diet without the support form this list.

You can claim it if you have celiac disease.

Some more suggestions:

Almond flour of a good quality is available from Vince Foods, on Steeprock

or St. Clair

West, Toronto and from:

http://www.jgourmet.ca/

Be aware that Bob';s Redmill Almond Flour is processed on machinery that is used

fro

grain, corn and rice. i haven't checked out Bulk Barn for quality yet.

" Rice " can be made of grated cauliflower cooked in chicken stock (homemade)
