Diet ???s

[Guest guest]

I've heard about a casein free diet, but didn't really know what

casein is, so I did a quick search on it-nothing too intense. I

found out that it is basically a milk allergy - different than an

intolerance. While researching, I came across the GFCF diet and

found it to be fascinating and am seriously considering going on it -

due to hubby's intestinal issues (IBS +), my allergy issues (I've

had a rash for over a year now and have a referral to an allergist

and just had " the patch test " done as well as the blood work for

food allergies, my other son's allergy issues (constant runny nose

and being put on claritin by conventional doctor), as well my child

with apraxia. (It is funny that neither child is biological to me

and they both seem to have allergies like me.)

-So we are on a milk-free diet, recommendation of our DAN doctor. I

was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for the diet. I have

used rice milk and almond milk and one child hates both and the

other likes both. When cooking, can you use rice milk for all

recipes or is the fat content of milk important? I looked up

groups for any GFCF groups that could help with the GFCF diet and I

found most of the recipes had either butter in them -some even

had " cream of " soups. This is not milk free.

Any suggestions for books, websites, or anything else!

Thanks ahead of time! You gals are great!!!!
