Looking for a chicken recipe that that tastes like kfc. Could you instruct how

you managed these nuggets? Have a son with autism and celiac hooked on kfc

strips--the crispy ones.

Thanks,

D.

In all honesty, I would give the diet a try if you're not seeing the

gains from enzymes alone. It's overwhelming at first, but it

eventually becomes a way of life. If you can, take milk and food

containing milk products away first. Find a good milk substitute like

almond, rice or potato milk. Try that for a couple of weeks and see

how your son reacts.

Then slowly starting pulling out the gluten. My daughter was a chicken

nugget junkie and it took me a while to find a chicken nugget recipe

that she would eat. I finally did, but I had to buy a deep fryer. The

nuggets I made her tasted like KFC. I slowly put less and less gfcf

badder on them until eventually she was just eating chicken without

breading. Then I moved her on to a different diet.

I know this is hard! I did it while caring for my newborn as well and

I cried quite a bit during those days. But, the diet is life now and

I'm used to it. Ruby eats a much bigger variety now and she has

benefitted in so many way from the diet. She also takes Trienza with

her meals.

Some kids do well with just enzymes and no diet, but some don't. You

might only have to do the diet for a year and then try just enzymes.

Give it a try if you can. It can be done relatively cheaply too.

Good luck. We all know where you're coming from.

I order the allergy free food package from Angel food ministries that has

chicken in it that is very good and reasonably healthy. It tastes better if you

deep fry it rather than bake though. I am eating chicken wings from this

package for lunch today. You can look up angelfood ministries in your area and

give it a try. This diet does work for many and I highly recommend giving it a

try. I have learned that enzymes only partially work for me. They work if I

stay on the diet and use the enzymes for infractions. If I consistently eat

no-mo foods the enzymes no longer work. I took away milk first and discovered

that soy doesn't work for us either. We can tolerate soy letichin and soy oil,

but no other types of soy. We have been on the diet for over 4 years.
