Re: GFCF - Any ideas on GFCF substitutes?

[Guest guest]

Thanks ,

Actually I've listed below the foods that my son eats now and maybe you and

any one else on the list can tell me what needs to go and what we can

substitute (brand names if possible). Thanks. This will really help me to

know where to start given what my son already likes to eat.

He eats:

Trader Joe's Chocolate Balance Bars (contain all kinds of stuff that we need

to get rid of, but anyone know of any GFCF alternatives in protein bars --

this is a dietary staple for him)

Mild Cheddar cheese (already took it out and don't bother with any

substitutes like rice or soy -- he knows if I even switch brands of regular

cheddar cheese and won't eat it)

Pretzels

Trader Joes Potato Puffs

Trader Joes Organic Tortilla chips (just corn, salt, & lime -- I can keep

these right?)

Gorilla Munch cereal (I can keep this also, correct?)

Bananas, apples, cherry tomatoes, kiwi, grapes, oranges,

Puffed Kashi cereal (has wheat & other grains -- can I substitute puffed

rice cereal?)

He doesn't drink any milk and doesn't drink any milk substitute so we don't

have to worry about that one.

He mainly drinks Calcium Fortified organic orange juice

Yoplait yogurt (I know dairy -- it's outta here. Are there any organic

non-GMO soy yogurts that are good?)

Any other snack foods? He likes most chips.

He eats homemade french fries

Scrambled eggs

Turkey bacon

Pancakes (which is the best gluten-free mix?)

Hamburger meat

sometimes carrot sticks

He hates any bread and has never eaten it.

I think that's it! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Also, what do you recommend for a calcium supplement?

Thanks,

Liberty

Govinda Bliss Bars are pretty good

Not much to do there then!

Ener-G makes an excellent GF pretzel!

If they are not flavored and not bound with wheat flour, you can

probably still keep these!

These sound gluten free

These are also fine

As far as GFCF goes, these are fine

Rice Twice cereal by Erewhon would make a fine sub for this cereal

WholeSoy brands are all very good and GMO free

Lundberg Farms rice cakes are great (my son likes the honey nut ones

the best

These should be fine if you use a GFCF margarine -- Willow Run

Spectrum Spread, Fleischmann's Light, and there are a few others

> Turkey bacon

Applegate Farms makes a full line of deli meats - bologna, turkey,

bacon, hot dogs which are ALL GFCF

If you can find it, there is a mix called Fearn's Brown Rice Baking

Mix, but you can also go to a Health Food Store and you will see

several alternatives, just check the labels for dairy ingredients!

Most should be fine, but I know sometimes " natural flavors " are added

to meats, so you would be right to check with the manufacturer

They're fine too!

That's lucky...that's one of the hardest to substitute!

We use Nutrition Now CalciYums...they are like pieces of salt water

taffy, are GFCF and delicious!
