Re: New! Need help with some foods

[Guest guest]

hi brenda, Good for you! Starting this at such a young age will put you way

ahead in this little ones life. My son loves Boars Head Smoked turkey

without bread. Although he does like ener-g tapioca bread that came from

miss robins. chicken and rice soup, frito o lay product chips.

Look up gfcfdiet.com to get a detailed list of what is gfcf (my lifeline)

also try gfcfrecipes.com (my other lifeline). I have had the most success

knowing the normal things from the grocery that are ok and not depending only

on health food store stuff. Also learn to cook other ethnic foods that are

usually gfcf. good luck,Leigh

Hi . My son has been GFCF for 1 year and 2 months now and doing

great. This diet will seem so difficult at first but then it gets to be

a breeze. I definetly would have your son allergy tested though to make

sure that you're not feeding him any offending foods.

Also get yourself a Miss Robens catalog by calling 1-, they

sell so many products and their catalog is very easy to understand and

also has a few recipes and tips in it. They are on the web at

www.missroben.com also, but I like to have my catalog to look at and

order from.

I hope you have a Health Food Store local to you, as there are many OK

products to use there.

You should do this gradually, you already have him off drinking milk

which is good (I use the Dari-free also). As far as cheese alot of HFS

carry Vegan singles by Soymage. They have american flavor, moutzerella.

Try and stick with this brand as others have casein. Never buy any

products that list casein,or whey as an ingredient. But i would

definetly do the allergy testing to make sure that there is no allergy to

soy.

Spectrum has organic shortening in a blue and white tub that you can use

lightly on toast,or use it for baking instead of butters . Use your

Darifree for mashing potatoes, etc.

Miss Robens has ready to eat snacks, cereals, baking mixes, flours,

cookies and cookie mixes, pastas, condiments, etc. I get an order in 2

days from them, 3 at the most and very happy with all.

At a HFS see if they have Gorilla Munch cereal. It looks like Kix cereal

and my son loves it.

Applegate farms (sold at HFS and Trader Joes) has hot dogs, sliced

roasted turkey breast, sliced smoked turkey breast, turkey bacon and all

their products are GFCF without any chance of cross contamination.

Good luck with the diet and ask away to us.

> chicken and rice soup

I just looked at the label on this one tonight, and for the life of me

can't remember what I saw wrong with it...was it soy? some of the

additives? Anyway, I didn't get it. I was looking for a chicken noodle

soup alternative for and ended up buying organic vegetable broth

and adding in some asian rice noodles. He liked it just fine, and went

back for more (while his siblings ate " Buzz Lightyear Chicken

noodle " ...............

NO, No, no. I'm Jewish, not an expert by any means but am sure of this

much. The fact is, 'Kosher for Passover' is all about leavening. Not at all

concerned with gluten, or even wheat.

So for example, matzoh is the most common and typical Kosher for Passover

food, but is made out of wheat and water.

>for our kids?

First, please take me literally that I'm no expert. I think that the pareve

label can be relied upon to indicate no diary. I think that inspectors

actually visit the plants to check for things like cross contamination, not

to mention actual ingredients. This doesn't mean mistakes can't or won't

happen. But to people that keep kosher, knowing when diary is present or

not is probably about as important as to those of us following the gf/cf

diet, albeit for different reasons.

Gluten is another matter though, you'd have to judge that just like with

any other food.

> How about nitrate free meats? Do they usually carry stuff

>like that?

The definitions of 'kosher' have their base in the first five books of the

bible, with constant interpretation since then. Nitrates, and every other

type of chemical additive which is relatively modern is not part of that as

far as I know.

>And why does everyone here keep mentioning stocking up around

>Passover? What are they stocking up ON?

I'm curious about this myself. Anyone? As I understand it, the special

rules around Passover have to do with leavening only. For example, on

Passover you can make cakes out of matzoh meal, but not out of plain flour.

The gluten is just as present though, so for gf/cf purposes I see no

relevance myself.

As I said, I'm no expert.

Do you live in Georgia? I thought you mentioned NJ. Anway, I don't know

the address, but here at directions: 85 South (inside 285) to Druid

Hills exit. Left onto Druid Hills. Right onto Briarcliff (there's a

ChikFilA on the corner opposite you) and the Kosher market is about a

mile down Briarcliff on the left. You'll see the Whole Foods Market

across La Vista.

I think you're right about that, but matzoh which is a grain product

(wheat) can be used. So for example you may find passover cookies made of

matzoh meal (crushed matzoh) but with no wheat flour. However, the matzoh

that the meal was made out of is made of wheat flour and water, then baked,

then crushed. So it's just as glutinous as non-passover cookies.

Of course, coconut macaroons are traditional for Passover, and will be made

w/o gluten that I've seen.

If you are concerned with yeast but not gluten then I'd say buying passover

foods would be a safe bet because the rule is, no leavening allowed.

I'm sure they do, just like an Asian market does. Just like we find our

best buy on corn meal is the Goya brand. I think that many ethnic

ingredients can be helpful. I also like the Goya tamales which from the

ingredients look to be GF/CF.

If you're looking for a kosher junk food, we get Joyva halvah at the HFS or

supermarket. It's fairly cheap, and no milk even in the chocolate covered

varieties. Nothing to do with passover, but it's a traditional Jewish (and

Middle Eastern, i.e. Arabic) candy made of crushed sesame seeds and honey

or sugar. Might be an acquired taste, but for $1.15 or so to check out a

bar maybe worth a try.

Lots of kosher food is very pricey too. That's because of all the

inspections and such. I see good use for checking the pareve label, that at

least should guarantee no casein.
