I went to Barnes & Noble and found an entire gluten-free cookbook section, including many bread/bread machine recipe books. I'm just starting to try some out so I can't tell you which ones are good yet, but it might be a good idea to check out the books!

Wow, thanks everyone for all your suggestions!! We are definitely getting creative around here as it just so happens that my pickiest eater of the family is the one on this special diet - go figure... Thanks for mentioning about personal involvement as well. He is very involved and understands as I've had to explain many things to him to convince him of what...

Thanks to all who offered advice and encouragement! When he originally got diagnosed, the doctor said he was malnourished but that everything should change as soon as we got him off of gluten.

I would not have wanted to make him sick again just to get a positive test as he is responding to treatment. Thanks again and we will be on here often I'm sure as we learn...

Okay, so my 12-year-old son started not feeling well a couple months ago - he started sleeping all the time, ran fevers off and on, stomachaches, constipation, and lost a lot of weight so you can see all his bones. He caught a cold during this time, had bad allergies, etc. so we kept attributing his symptoms to this or that. Then he didn't get better so I...
