I believe my four and half year old is gluten-intolerant, she also has Asperger's Syndrome. I only have a limited amount of money to spend on a book. I'd like to know what you would recommend my first book to be to help me change my way of baking for this little one. I have found a lot of knowledge on this and other boards and am over whelmed with all of the information, but now I need recipes and exchanges, all the help I can get :blink: is much appreciated!

thank you ahead of time!

My favorite cookbook is "The Gluten Free Gourmet". I haven't found a bad recipe in it! I'd also recommend you check out the local library. It's likely they have some gluten free cookbooks so you can at least check out some of the recipes before buying. If you like the recipes, it's a lot cheaper to make copies or write them out rather than buying the book, too.

I personally like Carol Fenster's books. Cooking Free not only deals with gluten intolerance, but also covers several other common food allergies (which may be helpful down the road for you). I have one of The Gluten-free Gourmet's books....and many of the recipes are very good. But I am finding that I don't care for many of the bean flours. Plus, we have multiple food intolerances at work. I got sick of figuring out my own substitutions! lol!! And now I've discovered that I really like sorghum flour...and most people who have had my dinner rolls/breadsticks have thought that I'm just an avid breadmaker...they never guessed they were gluten-free.

I definitely agree with the pp about going to the library and checking some cookbooks out. I got The ADHD & Autism Cookbook by Pamela J. Compart, M.D., and Dana Laake, RDH, MS, LDN.. All of the recipes are gluten/casein-free. Several are soy-free and some are egg-free (though I found many typos in it where it said egg-free...but the recipe called for eggs). It's also helpful because it leans towards natural sugar substitutes like honey, agave and maple syrup in lieu of refined white sugar. Plus, it helps explain why this diet works for children on the spectrum.

Honestly, you can get a lot of recipes for free on this board and on sites like livingwithout.com and glutenfreeda.com. I have found that I use a ton of recipes from my subscription to Living Without magazine. There are so many sites to choose from...if you'd like a list, let me know and I'll PM it to you.

There are lots of sites online that offer gluten-free recipes. For FREE!!! You can also check some gluten-free cookbooks out at some libraries. That might help you decide on what one to spend your money on.

I vote for Annilaise Roberts baking book. It is WONDERFUL!!!

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
