RE: Request from huevo_no_bueno ~ Coconut bread

My son and I are both on a gluten free diet. He, in addition to his gluten allergy, is also allergic to eggs, dairy and corn (so far, more testing is on the horizon). So your recipe would be PERFECT for him. I would LOVE your coconut bread recipe and any other advice or recipes or books you could recommend to us would be awesome. It's really hard to get good recipes for baked goods with all of his allergies. Thank you so much!

I've successfully made coconut bread (a quickbread) that has no eggs, gluten, dairy, corn, etc. It was good, and stayed amazingly moist even after a week. I spread it with a little coconut oil. I was the only one eating it, so it lasted a while! Let me know if anyone wants the recipe.

My son has been on his gluten free, corn free, dairy free, egg free, milk free diet for over 6 weeks now. His auditory hallucinations have quieted down substantially and his visuals are occurring about every 3-4 days, rather than randomly throughout every day. For once in his life he is beginning to feel hope! It's a beautiful thing!

Hopefully, continuing his allergy free diet will free him from the schizophrenia. It's sure looking like that is where it's heading. I'll keep you posted! Thanks again...

Celiac only came up for us last month. My four boys and I all have the symptoms. My 14 year old is awaiting our fisrt dx. One of my sons is shcizophrenic,2 more have psychotic disorders,my 14 year old has ringing in the ears.

After the mention of celiac disease I went on the net and have practicly been on ever since.I have already heard and read about many schizo remission cases. All of us also have other related problems such as ADHD, depression, etc.. I believe there is hope for us. Perhaps we can stay in touch and share our rewards. I have already gone GFD, my sons will start next week.

Peace and all Good! Mark

David,

Thanks for the pizza post. My son was recently diagnosed w/Celiac and would LOVE some real pizza tasting pizza! With all the great replies, I've got to try your recipe. Keeping in mind we're in California, my question is, what exactly a "sachet of dried yeast". I'm assuming its like our "packets" of yeast that are premeasured for things like a loaf of bread. Your answer will be appreciated. Thanks again!

Here's a from 'scratch recipe' for the best Pizza Crust Ever.

Thank you all for your additional information and for the support. Any relief my son can get from this horrendous disease (schizophrenia) would be such a blessing. Maybe Celiac is his blessing in disguise . The antipsychotics he has been on (for the last 6 years) have made him gain alot of weight. Between his gluten free diet and him eating more natural healthy foods, he's lost 16 pounds in the last month! So he's already benefiting from being gluten free! Thanks again!

I have an 18 year old that was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder at age 12. After seeing a prominent neurologist/psychiatrist/pharmachologist we began having various testing done to rule out an organic cause (which this doctor believes is causing the psychosis). His primary care doctor got on board and ran a bunch of blood work and it shows he has a double gene for Celiac and is severely allergic to gluten, wheat barley, rye, etc., and also to milk, eggs and corn. Another more detailed allergy test is being run to get a clear picture of exactly what else needs to be removed from his diet.

I've seen several sites on the internet that connect Celiac with schizophrenia. Has anyone had psychosis disappear after going on a gluten-free diet?
