Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Aack! I'm feeling boxed in here ... Nut-free/seed-free classrooms mean I can't send in muffins, cookies, etc. baked with nut flour. Moved to coconut-baking (KiKi's cupcakes, etc.) and this worked great. But, if coconut isn't allowed early on, what do I do? Beans also suggested, but I know those are only for later in the diet. I'm already sending in tube of HM applesauce, yogurt with fruit, etc. -- but are there any good baked items that are nut flour, seed flour, coconut flour free?

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 If you are able to process the coconut into " literal flour " KiKi is able to digest it...or at least shows none in poop undigested or signs of distress. The problem is....some processors can't do this....I have two, only one can make it this fine. I gave her some in the beginning that was not " fine " and yes, she could not tolerate it (so agree there about it not being a early stage food...but now wonder if it isn't in the processing?)....with it more " whole flakes " saw it undigested in her stool and caused her diarrhea. Food for thought...knowing that what worked for us...may not work for all. Antoinette (day 29 SCD day 29 entire family) Re: Juice > > 1.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I hear you -- it's just that coconut is OK based on the food allergies in my son's classrooms. These are fifth and third-graders, not little ones, so I want to be sending in age-appropriate snacks. What works well are healthy baked cookies and muffins (to rotate with yogurt, applesauce, fruit, etc.) and I like having something substantial enough to tide them over until lunch. (the problem with things like meringues are that they're pretty much like eating air !) So, if I can't bake with nut flours, ground-seed flours like pumpkin seed or whatever, or coconut flour -- are there any other good recipes out there? Marina Coconut (was: Re: Juice) > > Aack!

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I've been using the coconut flour from Digestive Wellness -- I haven't seen any negative results, but don't want to mess up the diet. Any advice on this is welcome.
