I have 3 children, 2 of which are gluten-free - as am I.

We are still very new to this....but I'm getting VERY tired of eating the same old "safe" things.

I'm looking for a recommendation of a child friendly gluten-free cookbook. Diary free is a must for my daughter and younger son. But, I can always SUB soy for regular milk. =)

Thank you in advance!!!

My favorites are the Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food For Kids by Sheri L. Sanderson.

I also rented from the library Cooking Free by Carol Fenster. I will probably buy this one too!

Gluten-Free Baking Classics by Annalise Roberts has some marvelous bread recipes--you can have REAL sandwiches again--and they taste good, not like hockey pucks! The cookie recipes are fantastic, too!

I'm looking for a gluten-free dairy-free cookbook, too, but Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food For Kids must have dairy in almost every recipe.

Milk=90 pages

Cream=50 pages

Cheese=66 pages

Butter=86 pages

Oye! Can subs be used? Like... soy milk, soy cheese, and "fake" butter? Probably not, huh??

Geepers. I hadn't even THOUGHT of butter and cheese. Geez.

Often you can substitute coconut oil (I buy LouAna brand at Walmart) for butter in cooking and baking. Olive oil is good for cooking, but not generally for baking. You can usually substitute non-dairy "milks" for cow's milk. I haven't bought any Vance's Dari-free yet, but I've got it on my long list.

There's really no substitute for cheese that doesn't contain dairy or soy. I recommend trying a little goat cheese when you feel safe. It worked for me and some other people, and it might or not work for you.

Considering that nobody seems to have come up with a gluten-free dairy-free cookbook, maybe I should write one. As long as so many people are sensitive to soy and corn, I could probably exclude those, too. If anybody has any suggestions, just post, PM, or email me.

Cheese is a tough one, I have to leave it out or avoid recipes that depend on it.

I substitute Spectrum Organic Shortening in baking and olive oil in cooking for butter.

For milk, I substitute Vance's Dari Free. Since it's a powder that you mix with water, you have the option to use it dry, mix it thick like cream or thinner like milk.

I always have to alter recipes, no matter where I find them because I have so many food intolerances. I just suggested this book because I'd heard good things about it--I guess I forget that I automaticaly substitute, and haven't been able to follow a real recipe for a while now.

the AiA Gluten and Dairy Free Cookbook is a great one! Special Diets for Special Kids is good, too. Both have very useful, yummy recipes and esp the first one I listed has a great list of substitutes to use. I've found good info from mamas dealing with the gluten free/casein free diet for kids with autism, which also works for my silly yak with a dairy allergy. :P

I have found that cookbook is pretty easy to adapt. For milk, I either use the Vances, water or chicken broth depending on the recipe. For butter, I use olive oil or spectrum shortening.

there's a wonderful cookbook called 'Friendly Food' that has recipes for gluten-free, dairy free etc. I've used a lot of recipes in it, and they are good:-)

If you want to make bread Betty Hagman's gluten-free Gourmet Bakes Bread is still the best I think, because there are so many whatever-free alterntives, and there's so much advice about how to substitute.

The 4 Flour Bread mix at the beginning of that cookbook works dairy free. I tried it when I was baking bread for a friend who was trying the gluten-free/CF diet for her son. I would recommend all of Bette Hagman's cookbooks if you could check them out of the library interlibrary loan. (I know the Comfort foods one is available in KS interlibrary loan because I borrowed it before I bought it) All of her cookbooks have lots of options in the recipes to deal with different allergies including dairy. Her cookbooks have been a lifesaver for me since my DH and now DS are on the gluten-free diet. :) Kendra

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
