Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi I have my 10year old on gluten free, what does your grand daughter like eating that contains gluten, that way is easier to suggest alternatives, my daughter loved pasta and we have found a great wheat free/gluten free pasta, which is edible, many of them are not due to texture or taste. the difference in Grace is enormous with her being Gluten free, and we only found out by chance!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi, my almost 22 year old daughter is an Aspie. What does your granddaughter like? If she's into carbs like pasta, bread, etc, you can find gluten-free versions of pretty much anything. I've had pasta made of rice, and rice and corn and it was very good. You do need to add salt to the water, because it's a little blander than wheat pasta. You can also get oat and potato flour, as well as rice flour, but since I'm not Betty Crocker, I can't tell you how they differ from wheat flour. You can also get gluten free snacks at Starbucks. There's a lot more gluten-free stuff available than their was even a few years ago, and it's better tasting too. You might need to limit the gluten-free to the obvious sources since wheat flour finds its way into a lot of products (like spaghetti sauce seasoning mix). Good luck , RN On Mon, Jun 14, 2010 at 7:48 PM, lois_overcast wrote: > > > HELP!!! we are trying to go gluten free and my 13 year old granddaughter > after weeks of dicussion now has decided she hates everything that she said > she would eat when we stopped gluten foods. any help in foods we can try. > she has said no to eggs and all fruit and doesn't eat that many veggies to > begin with. thanks lois > > > -- I find that a sherry in the afternoon helps me feel more kindly disposed towards the children.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 GF is very hard for anyone, but would be extremely hard for anyone autistic/Aspergers. My autistic daughter isn't GF, but my eldest who is NT has type 1 diabetes and celiac disease. Transistion was hard at first in finding substitutes, but there is so much out there now. Pasta, casserole mixes, gravies, and remember where sweets are concerned, you can use ones with glucose wheat, as it is so refined it has no effect. I would contact a celiac group to find out what they know, we have one in Australia that sends quarterly magazines to us which are very helpful as it tells us the new products that are out. I pray that my autistic daughter never has to go GF as there is noway she would eat GF bread...ugggh, it is so revolting, no denying that.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Maybe a trip to the healthfood store, a look online at some restaurants GF menu selections, or looking at allergygrocer.com's foods will give her some inspiration. Also, look at the library or bookstore for GF cookbooks. hth, Corinne --- lois_overcast@... wrote: To: Autism_in_Girls_and_Women Subject: gluten free Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2010 17:48:10 -0000 HELP!!! we are trying to go gluten free and my 13 year old granddaughter after weeks of dicussion now has decided she hates everything that she said she would eat when we stopped gluten foods. any help in foods we can try. she has said no to eggs and all fruit and doesn't eat that many veggies to begin with. thanks lois _____________________________________________________________ Netscape.
