Ah.. but the thing is, we have the Envirokidz cereals, we have the Arrowhead

mills Pancake stuff, Kinnikinnick bread, Van's waffles.. But he's not

thinking! He left those pancakes out for Dana thinking that because he gave

Josh the safe waffles, he wouldn't bother Dana's unsafe pancakes. And had he

I actually made him take back the unsafe syrup and get the regular kind..

Good Gosh, we've been using the same brands for months and months.. I've even

taught him how to read labels for things, checking kosher symbols,ect.. He's

not a newbie to this! He's apparently had some kind of stroke or something

and has totally forgotten that he can't just willie nillie pick up any old

thing.

Wow. You poor thing. I fixed this problem a year ago. We don't even have

Bisquick in our house. No unsafe cereals either. Maybe he's just

overloaded(like you aren't!) Try Van's wheat free waffles, Kinnikinnick

pancake mix and breading for chicken, chops, etc., and EnviroKidz safe

cereals. These all taste so good that the whole family will eat them so no

chance of a slip-up. Also, Tinkyada pasta tastes and has the texture of the

real thing. Just a thought. Then tell your husband once he starts behaving

he can have his Wheaties back in the house : )

It is so much easier just to have the whole family go cfgf. No cross

contamination issues then. We all like the rice/soy waffles and pancakes

from scratch just as well as the wheat ones, for example. The only thing

that is just not the same for us is the cheese dishes like macaroni and

cheese and pizza, but, oh well, the non-autistic members of our family can

get them when they are out of the house, visiting or whatever.

***Same here! But he's getting better (LOL). Now he asks: " Is this

ingredient ok? " . I do the groceries, so he doesn't have to worry on

that one. And I do most cooking. When he cooks he only uses the same

spices on everything, and if he wants to add something new, he'll ask

me (now he does). The trick I've learned is to always say things a

zillion times, even if it annoyes him: this way he'll think twice and

end up saying: " You look at this and tell me if I can give it " . The

best (or worst) is that He saw on his bad gluten day and he

couldn't stand it. So he knows he wants to avoid him being hyper and

wild and tantruming, therefore he'll follow directions. )

I still have a hard time with him giving Ice Cream twice (I gave

it, then he gives it: never double check with me if already had

his daily dose), or something like that, but at least he knows what

he can have or not.

I had to fight tho, so I hear you loud and clear. We can't afford the

whole family on the diet, but we do waffles and pancakes from

scratch, and they are gfcf, so that's one )

Hope it gets better.

Good luck, Cristina-WA
