It is five parts gluten free flour to one part GFG. i.e. The recipe calls for 1 1/2 cup of flour, so you use 1 1/4 flour and 1/4 cup GFG. I use the GFG if I am converting a recipe from say, "The Joy of Cooking". I have not tried it in tested recipes from gluten-free cookbooks.

You could try buying them from amazon .com. You have to buy by the case, but the prices are better.

Fairway market, Broadway and 74th street, has the biggest gluten free section in NYC. It is on the second floor. Fairway is a 'normal' grocery store, and not as pricey as Whole Foods.

I am sorry, but my advice here is not going to be very promising. My husband was diagnosed with Lyme disease twice and it is very important to run the full coarse of antibiotics. Lyme disease, if not treated, can be very damaging to the nervous system, and affect everything. And, if the red circle looks like a bulleye or a target, you should get...

There is a store in Timonium, called The Natural, that a friend told me has a great selection of gluten-free foods. It is right down the street from a big celiac research center in Maryland. I haven't been, but being close to the celiac research center makes it sound promising. The Whole Foods around Philly probably won't have much more choice then...

Whole Foods and Wild Oats are two separate companies.

I agree with Cassidy. I have found several health food stores within a 30 minute to one hour drive where the selection is huge. Whole Foods just does not seem to have much variety, is the same distance and costs the same or more.

My son, who is Aspergers and diabetic, hence gluten-free/cf is also a super picky eater. We had him in working with an Occupational Therapist for 3 years, and did not add any new foods to his list of acceptable foods which was maybe six things. For him, it is the textures in his mouth that bother him. I made food a huge issue, refusing to feed him...

If you are going to be any where near Glastonbury (Garden of Light) or Hamden (Thyme and Season) or Stratford (Nature's Way), check out one of these stores. For my time and effort, they have a bigger range of gluten-free products (foods and personal care) then Whole Foods. The Whole Foods stores in the Northeast tend to be small, compared to Whole Foods...

Hannaford's has gluten free choices. Look in their natural section.

Interesting feedback...I agree it is a hard topic to bring up to strangers and I applaud GFBetsy. From my own experience, my son was in SE preschool when he was four, one of the aides, who also worked as an EMT, pointed out to me on a Friday that my son seemed thirsty lately. I said, fine, just give him water to drink if he is thirsty. A friend babysat...

My family was on vacation (in Canada) at a hotel with a continental breakfast (breads, muffins and cereal, Oh my!). We were sitting outside of the main dining room eating when a mother walked out of the dining room with a child, complaining about how she is fed up with her other daughter crying at every meal and refusing to eat anything. The mother and...

People could write to their congressional reps about making gluten free/allergy free food duty free. Gluten free products made outside of North America (under NAFTA) have customs duty imposed on them which can add up to 8% to the cost.

Everyone is different, but the general trend is the first days are the hardest. She is going gluten-free because of gluten intolerance/celiac, not autism/ADS?

The book is called "A User Guide to the gluten-free/CF Diet for Austism, Asperger Syndrome and ADHD" The author is Luke Jackson. It is a quick read and pretty frank, with out being overly graphic. Note: some of his info about gluten-free and celiac are wrong, but he clearly is not writing as an expert on celiac disease, only the changes the gluten...
