It uses minimal nuts and mostly egg whites. I have also seen cheese

used instead of nuts, but with ASD/ADHD I am not sure you are using dairy

yet.

It can also be made with cooked vegetables or with avocado. Pretty

flexible stuff, this souffle bread.

,Are you trying to use coconut flour like it is nut flour or do you have proper coconut flour recipes? This one, for example, is excellent, though you can ignore the exhortationsto use organic and pastured, if that is not your thing:http://www.cheeseslave.com/2008/10/08/coconut-flour-blueberry-muffins/You'll notice, as per what Amelia says below, it has very little coconut flour. When using coconut flour, you need to use copious amounts of egg compared to the amount of the coconut flour and very little oil or liquid. I find that when I make bread with it, I like the bread dehydrated into melba toast type rounds instead of as 'fresh' bread. Also, what about crepes with coconut flour?AmeliaHusband UC 9 years, SCD 19 months LDN 3 mg To: BTVC-SCD Sent: Sat, February 6, 2010 5:18:00 AMSubject: nut flour alternatives for ASD childrenHi, I have 2 children(ASD/ ADHD) and both have been SCD since October. At first they both seemed to do well with the nut flours and baked items. However now my youngest (2yr)seems to have problems digesting nuts. I think his BMs have gotten worse. I talked to a Dr. but she said to just leave out the nuts, but what alternatives do i have for baking things. I have increased their digestive enzyme intake along with their probiotics (thinking that it is probably a yeast problem?). anyone have any suggestions about what I could use. I tried coconut flour, they didn't like the taste, and that stuff just absorbs any liquid you add to it.thanks

I forgot to say, I recommend doubling it. Have you considered putting them on LDN? Dr. McCandless has a list forASD kids trying LDN. Mara

Hi, I don't have my kids on dairy, doing the gf/cf diet also. I use eggs, but

try not to use too many, they have sensitivities to them. They can handle 1 to

eat, and at most 4 in a recipe. I don't know what souffle bread is.?

I had been just replacing the nut flour with coconut flour. where do you find

coconut flour recipes at?

Also, I have not put my kids on LDN. I have hashimotos, and tried it (mainly to

see what affect it might have before putting kids on it) and I had massive heart

palpitations. We lowered the dose, but still didn't seem like my body was

accepting it. I'm a little afraid to put the kids on it since they can't really

express how they feel a lot of the time.

thanks for the input. I will look up coconut flour recipes, see what i can find

and souffle bread.

thanks, cindy
