    When we were there, it would have been very difficult to eat gluten-free at our all inclusive resort, however, if you ate someplace with more dining options, I bet you could do well! I would stick to corn shells, tequila, and fresh veggies! LOL Have fun. It is so beautiful!

    I made reservations a month in advance (which was good for us at the time...but I almost didn't get into the birthday meal...we got the last 4 person table!) I called the chefs the week before, but that seemed a bit silly. We went over it all once we were in the restaurants. Still, I called because that is the way they recommend it! And as for the...

    We brought Lara bars because they are pretty filling, small, and yummy. I ordered online (much cheaper). Apple Pie and Cherry are my favorites. Also, good chocolate, something salty like cashews. Some whole fruit. For me, protein is a must when I'm doing that kind of quick eating. I hope it goes well for you!!!

    Tips: Email this woman Brenda.Bennett@disney.com She works with the Chefs and she has a listing of information that you find incredibly valuable! She is also very prompt and kind (as everyone was!) Just let her know what your allergies are and ask if she can send you some info on what / where you can eat in the parks and lodges. Other tips? ...

    It was GREAT! We just recently got back last night, but already put up photos for you guys. Really,. we had a fabulous time! I felt like I was a princess the whole while with all the special attention from the Chefs and the WONDERFUL food! Neither of us got sick at ALL! I can't say enough about the great chefs! For Gluten and dairy free vacation, Disney...

    Okay, thanks for the tips on adding after the fact! I didn't know you could do that! LOL I am really feeling foolish about not being able to make decent play dough! I can't bring myself to spend $20 plus shipping on pre made play dough when I know it can be made for less then $5! Rice flour is super cheap here, as is salt... Okay, I...

    Well, I can make so many great and creative foods, but my cooking ability stops short at playdough. I cannot get a good batch of gluten free playdough! I have tried so many recipes and they all flop I think it must be something in my method? So, someone who makes a great gluten free playdough...please walk me through it! I will be supplying my daughter...

    I'll add my story. I was very unhealthy during pregnancy. I had terrible shakes, developed a noticable heart murmor that sped up my heart rate at rest with random spurts. I felt like I was having heart attack symptoms quite often. I was always out of breath and very shakey/dizzy and anemic. BUT i was eating gluten and dairy (two big Nos for me) and...

    angeljd - thanks for posting that ! Right away I was thinking.... "boiling plastic bags with food? That can't be healthy!"

    Well, I don't buy that without some studies and proof! BUT we did do the SCDiet and it did cure my daughter of her SYMPTOMS. The autism traits went away. It did let her gut HEAL. Her diarrhea finally stopped. BUT if she gets any gluten, even now (2+ years later) she reacts terribly. So, as long as she doesn't eat gluten, she is cured with SCDiet,...

    you could switch to good dark belgium chocolate .... that ought to help we eat a lot of nuts and coconut in our foods. It helps keep the weight on

    Cherry and Apple...I had to stop buying them because I would just gobble them up like they were candies! mmm....

    I would sit down and figure out how much protein you get on a daily basis. I had a similiar problem that really got bad when I was pregnant (you wouldn't be pregnant, by chance?) I developed a heart murmor, which they told me was totally normal and fine. When I changed my diet (went gluten free and dramatically increased protein intake) the heart symptoms...

    There is no good reason to introduce gluten to a 6 month old. Breast milk (or formula if you don't breastfeed) is best for baby up to a year minimum. When you begin introducing foods, you can start with sweet potato, and avocado, and banana. Those are great starters for baby! I would avoid grains and dairy for any baby! They are such high allergens....

    I love this cook book www.thegardenofeatingdiet.com it's full of wonderfully healthy foods (and it's gluten free, of course)

    Yes you can use your favorite nut flour here. I use Pecan, but almond is my other main staple in baking. Sometimes hazlenut (although I think it has a stronger flavor) and same goes for Brazil nuts...stronger flavor! Almond should work well. This loaf turns out really yummy and lovely looking, but it is a bit tricky to cut. I find it works well to...

    I love breads by anna from www.glutenevolution.com and here is my own recipe, which works well (but not as perfect as the breads by anna)\ Open Original Shared Link

    You've already gotten a lot of great input here, but I thought I'd add that we really love to cook following the guidelines of this cookbook www.thegardenofeatingdiet.com (I think it's on amazon too). It is a gluten free cookbook that is really geared toward a healthy way of eating that is delicous and they do not use any refined sugars in this book (nor...

    I love avocados and lemon for a snack or spinach with salsa and an egg. If you cook some boiled eggs and keep them in the fridge, it is easy to add protein to a salad in a pinch! Fruits galore and veggies with dips. We do eat a lot of nuts in our snacks, but you could sub nuts for coconut for fat/filling-ness. So, a Wax Orchard fudge mixed...

    Avoiding pre packaged gluten free crackers, breads, and such will save you a lot of money! Just changing the way you eat. I am an at home mom so I am able to spend a lot of time baking. I bake almost everything from scratch (gluten-free/CF breads, pancakes, waffles, cookies etc). Some things we do without (crackers) And others we have subbed,...

    The medical and overwhelming recommendations from all I have encountered has been to do the standard medical testing BEFORE changing your diet or doing a gluten trial. However, there are those who do not wish to undergo the biopsy testing for reasons such as they don't want to put their babies or young children through the process, they don't have insurance...

    This is interesting to read! I had never heard of the GFL mag. I do subscribe to Living Without. I really enjoy it! I just wish it came to my door more often I have a very little article and some of my recipes in this issue so I feel famous for a moment LOL (okay, not exactly famous). I really think they are doing a great service to those on our...

    It was good when we were on a strict elimination diet because it was the only bread choice that worked, but it was never actually "good". Breads by Anna, Knnick Knnick, and other frozen brands are better.

    What really helped my daughter was to start the specific carbohydrate diet after she had been gluten free. She started reacting to almost everything and continued with GI problems, autoimmune and behavior problems too. So, we did the SCDiet and everything bad just stopped within 2 weeks ! We were lucky. She had already come a long way with her Gluten and...
