Gluten Free Recipes

Hi,I have a biscuit recipe that uses arrowroot flour,but I want to use potato starch instead.Is it possible? Paula

I meant granola, not bars :-( But I did try to check out these 2 companies. Kinnikinnick doesn't seem to have it, and Really Great Food doesn't yet have a website for me to check :-( Thanks for the suggestions though! Sharon

The subject line for my post should have been Ener-G granola, not bars. I really like their granola. Haven't tried the bars :-) Sharon

Hey everyone, I usually order Ener-G granola (I love this product) from Gluten Solutions. They are currently out and won't have any in for 2 to 3 weeks. For some reason, ordering it directly from Ener-G is much more expensive. Miss Roben's doesn't carry this. Anyone know of any other supplier of this product? Thanks, Sharon

Hi all, while looking for a powdered milk sub. I saw this at my local co-op. does anyone know if it's gfcf? i tried using better than milk soy but ds threw it up both times. thanks, jen a.

Forwarded by Angela I found a pumpkin seed butter that i love and am trying on my daughter. I added a little sugar and needed to stir it cause it separates but found the taste & texture great. It is green in color though (considering the green and purple catsups out there this may be a plus to kids). It is from Now Nutrition. Jay

We are avoiding salicylates and some recipes I have call for raisins. Are raisins still as bad as grapes or does the drying process help with it any? Also, someone told me white grapes are okay, whereas dark grapes are worse. Does anyone know if this is true and, if so, would white (green) raisins be a safer alternative. Also, while reading the list of salicylates that a wonderful person posted the other day (sorry I forgot who to thank) and poppy seeds were listed on the low end. I don't want to sound paranoid on the drug issue, but since our autistic kids have issues with opiate peptides, does anyone know if poppy seeds could be an area of extreme sensitivities in kids? I have heard of people who eat poppy seeds often testing for trace amounts of opium on drug screens, so I want to make sure I don't send Allie spiraling back to her "druggie days" lol. You guys are the best! Debi

Hi, I'm interested in trying to make a Cornish Pasty (or something similar) for my 5 year old (ASD) son. Does anyone have a GF/CF recipe? I think he would like it because he likes pastry type things and I'm trying to find a way to give him more vegatables. Thanks for any help! Karin

I was at my local Ingle's grocery store yesterday and found Gerber pear sauce in containers similar to that of applesauce cups for older childen. The tops of the plastic containers still said Gerber on them, but it was a more "mature" look for those of you who want it for your kids' lunches. Debi

Rebecca, Welcome to the list and I hope we can help you. You might also check out the use of enzymes, I think that you can have an enzyme shortage due to your 'poor diet and eating disorders' replacing the enzymes may relieve some symptoms of cramping, bloating, etc. You take them when you eat and they contain a mix of enzymes to help digest many foods. I do also recommend the diet, concentrate on good meat, raw veggies, some fruit, and not too many starches. You might also look into intestinal yeast and bacterial infections, usually fed by a high starch- carb diet. Go on a very simple diet for at least two weeks to see if your distressing condition improves before adding back the more processed foods. Angela
