Hi Chris,
We put Andrew on a gf/cf/sf diet in October and it has changes his life, so
hang on you're in for quite a ride. My first suggestion would be to find a time
when you can go to a health food store all by yourself and look around, read
labels and ask tons of questions. Once you understand the alternative ingredients
that are available it is pretty easy to substitute into your recipes you
already use. I use a lot of bean flours, they have tons of protien which is
a major plus. I also have an all natural sweetener I use called sweet balance.
Usually when a recipe calls for
milk you can substitute water in and it works just fine. I go through a Dr. in
Chicago to oversee Andrew's diet and they have just published a cookbook. It is
written by moms just like us, who have their kids on gf/cf/sf diets. I haven't
received mine yet, but when I do I'll let you know how it is. If you want to
check it out on your own you can call the Optimal Wellness Center at (847)985-1777.
I know it seems overwelming now, but once you educate yourself and do some trial
and errors on your cooking it is manageable and definitely worth it. I went to
an appointment the other day with a nutritionists (it had nothing to do with
Andrew) but we started talking about the diet and I was telling her all the things
I have learned. She asked me if i have ever considered becoming a nutritionist. I
didn't know anything before the diet so don't be intimidated, it is possibel to
learn it all.
If you need any help at all let me know.

Love,
Barbara
