Hey Abba, do you have a good recipe for like a chicken breading to make nuggets? I am wanting to try some new things for the little guy I live with. He always eats the same 5 or 6 foods because of the autism. He loves things that are made fresh.

It's recommended for many kids with autism. A lot of people have trouble digesting gluten and don't even realize it. In the kids with autism that are effected by it, it effects their brains like a morphine. Many parents try their kids on the diet and give up because it's not easy at all and it doesn't effect all kids the same. One kid I work with is HIGHLY effected. Within minutes of consuming anything with gluten, his pupils get HUGE and he gets the giggles. Later he will get a horrible stomach ache. Of course, bread is his favorite thing on the planet. When his parents first took him off gluten they still had bread in the house. A piece fell on the floor and he dove for it. His mom grabbed it and threw it away. When she turned around, he was on the floor trying to lick up any crumbs that might be left. Carb addiction is REAL, people! lol

The autism community loved McDonald's because they claimed their fries were gluten free. (Many blended oils add gluten.) Turns out they were wrong. People are suing.

Abba, did you know that Annie's is now making a gluten free mac & cheese?

---

thats cool but i also can't eat milk or soy so that's a no-no for me

you should try tinkyada pastajoy. it tastes just like regular pasta. i know alot of gluten free cereals too that dont taste like crap lol my favorite cereal is called puffins. it's made by barbara's bakery.

The little dude I cook for is dairy free as well. He can have soy, though. I don't even know what the brand name is, but there is one pasta that comes in a bag that he loves. He likes to go to Whole Foods and pick out the shape he wants that week. It's cute. I have made him mac & cheese with rice milk and tofutti cheese...lol. He loves it, but I just don't think I could do it.

If they could make a cereal that looks similar to Froot Loops I would be in heaven. He asks for Froot Loops every time we go to the market. I think kids eat them at school and he can't. I know they coculd never replicate those colors naturally. I think we buy him Koala puffs cereal? He really doesn't eat it much, but I can make him rice crispy treats out of them. WHY WHY WHY do they add wheat to rice crispies?

Bell & Evans is making a really good gluten free breaded frozen chicken now.

(We should change the thread title to The Gluten Free thread...lol)

---

there is a gluten free version of rice crispies at whole foods :) it's called rice twice.



we also buy gluten free bread crumbs there to make meatballs and meatloaf.

allergygrocer.com is an awsome website for looking for foods. you can search the foods based on what foods you can't have. they have non dairy non gluten cheese crackers that are pretty good
