Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Well, that is kind of the issue. He likes sweet potato french fries, and baked beans for vegetables, that is it. He likes Apples and Strawberries, and loves ketchup. The only meat he will eat is chicken, or if a pizza has meat on it, but now he is not eating pizza. He also likes Hummus, but none of the gluten free breads, he wont eat it on crackers or chips or anything like that. It bums me out, he did have a wider variety of foods he would eat before, he just is very cautious about what he eats. I don't believe he is being difficult, it is something about those other foods that is uncomfortable for him. He used to eat chicken soup, won't eat that now, Ugh. Help.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 We have been off of fish for a few weeks now as per the doctor. Last night I gave Mark some fish and his speech regressed; he's been doing so well in the speech department. It really bummed me out. I love fish. He woke up this morning with it as well. I am so disappointed. I will clean out his system and test try him on the fish again....... just to make sure. Janice [sPAM][ ] Re: gluten free foods , I agree that with kiddos on the spectrum texture can be a HUGE issue, but there are so many foods that are naturally gluten free. Besides bread-type foods, what does your son like to eat? What are his favorite high-protein foods like meat, fish, eggs, beans and his favorite fruits and veggies? If I know what he already likes, it might help me come up with some ideas to try (I'd be happy to help if I can!)

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I was reading Dr Spock's book and ketchup is a no no and baked beans. I just don't know what to do it seems like the foods he will eat are slowly creeping up on the unacceptable list. I think somewhere I read you could use Hunt's ketchup? Also, does anyone know how to find out if certain baked beans are gluten free. This diet is so hard to implement when your child is on the spectrum, darn. I guess things are hard sometimes, I am glad I have his appointments in place so I can get a better handle on his nutrition. I don't want him lacking in certain things. Thanks for all the recipes. **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms, and advice on AOL Money & Finance.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I thought it said there was sugar in it and that feeds yeast, etc. I am new to this so I am probably wrong, I am glad to hear it.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Thanks for the reference, but I'm not sure I have answers here. I'll give it a shot... Are you doing any other diet besides the GFCF diet right now? If not, you can have ketchup and baked beans. Below I have information on acceptable ketchups and baked beans. If you are eliminating sugar, that is another story. Both products will have sweeteners of some kind. Ketchup frequently has high fructose corn syrup, but there are brands that do not have HFCS. Not sure about baked beans, as we don't eat those here. Always confirm that the GFCF brand is also free of artificials. You don't want those for sure. If you are doing Feingold stage 1, all real ketchups are " no's " . They have a recipe for un-ketchup as a substitute. Again, not sure about baked beans. Here's a link to a VERY helpful site. It has lists of GFCF brands that can be found in most supermarkets. Always double-check labels, because ingredients are constantly changing. From the home page, hit the directory link at the bottom to get to the various lists. http://www.gfcfdiet.com/ Here's the link to the condiments page. I have summed up ketchup below. http://gfcfdiet.com/CondimentsAdditives.htm GFCF Ketchups: Muir Glen Tomato Ketchup Del Monte Ketchup Heinz Ketchup Mother's Mountain Catchup Westbrae: Fruit Sweetened Catsup, Squeeze Fruit Sweetened Catsup Unsweetened UnKetchup **Please note that Hunt's will not guarantee their Ketchup or Barbeque Sauce to be gluten free because they contain distilled vinegar Read following information: Distilled Vinegar: Scientific tests show that all harmful peptides (from wheat) are removed during the distillation process of Distilled Vinegar. But, if you use a distilled vinegar and you notice any indication that your child may have an intolerance discontinue using it. Distilled Vinegars can be from wheat, corn, potatoes, beets, wood, apples and many other things. Here's the link for side dishes. I have summed up baked beans below. http://gfcfdiet.com/Sidedishes.htm GFCF Baked Beans: Bush's Baked Beans Walnut Acres Organic Baked Beans Eden Organic Baked Beans with Sorghum & Mustard Hope that helps! in NJ > > I don't think all ketchup is a no no. in NJ has good posts on > this stuff.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 We use Heinz. I remember McCarthy saying it was okay. But we use it daily, Hope I am right!
