Different nut flours/ ghee/ dccc?

[Guest guest]

We are getting ready to begin SCD after months of contemplation and

waiting for a rough semester of hubby's school to end. I have

finally decided to bite the bullet since he is about home free at

this point.

I wondered if the different nut flours are interchangable in

recipes? I noticed that some flours are quite a bit cheaper and

honestly with a family of 6 that is an issue. Is it better to buy

whole nuts and grind them yourself or buy the flour? I am assuming

(maybe wrong as I am tired) that a pound of nuts will not yield a

pound of flour, so is it actually a better bargain to buy the flour?

Also, what is the thinking on the dry curd cottage cheese and ghee?

Are these things I can give a casein free child? We did a peptide

test and his casein was SKY HIGH! He was negative on gluten, but I

know that is not always reliable. He is currently casein free and

soy free as we move toward SCD.

Thanks,

Laurie
