Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 * Andi, hi, My son LJ has been GFCF for almost 18 months now and doing fantastic. He also has many, many food allergies and this diet is still going good. As a milk replacement we use Dari-free which is a potato based beverage, as LJ also can't have rice or soy. So I make all his waffles. pancakes, cookies, cakes, etc. His rice allergy is only a class 1 so I do use products that have rice flour occasionally, but we avoid eating the rice or drinking the rice beverage. Miss Robens is a online place to order and also has a fantastic, easy to understand catalog that list each and every product, their ingredients and what it is free of. Call 1- and get yourself a catalog or go online at www.missroben.com , but I prefer the catalog sales. She has cake and cookie mixes, premade cookies and crackers, condiments, Dari-free, vitamins, pastas, etc. Alot of recipes are posted on this list and if a recipe calls for rice flour you just substitute in some sorghum flour and tapioca mix. Remember you can make basic meat and potato meals till you get this diet thing down pat. in New York (LJs mom) * On Wed, 10 Oct 2001 16:17:06 -0000 adrinkwi@... writes: My son tested sensitive to 24 items.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Basically start a very bland (intro) and add foods slowly one at a time, several days apart. It can be trial and error. Keep a food diary and note any symptoms. Pecanbread.com has suggestions for stages of adding foods, It is for kids with ASD so it is non dairy. We can use legal SCD yogurt and some legal cheeses. It is a good guide. Welcome to SCD. There are many folks here who can help you along the way. Hope you feel better. PJ > > Hi everyone, > I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis in Feb of 2006.
