I love how you’ve separated it by allergens. Being a mom of 2 highly allergic kids, this is agreat asset to the site.
AWESOME! I was starting to think I had to go broke keeping my Asperger Son on his gluten/casein free diet! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you, thank you!!! We cook GF and DF at our home so this is a BIG help!!!

I love this idea! My daughter and her husband and three children are going to be moving in with us the end of the school year. That will be 8 of us under one roof. Cooking is going to be an issue and if I can save some money in the process I’m all for it!
Think about dividing out other allergies as well.
Fish,
peanuts
tree nuts
My 4 year old has autism.
He is, at this point, gluten free and dairy free.
Soy is in EVERYTHING!!! Does soy lethicin cause issues?
And our pediatrician is hesitating to let us test him for food allergies or sensitivities.
Any suggestions?
We are GF and dairy free for a family of 6. Only 5 of us need to be on this, but I am not going to make 2 meals so we are all on it. I make almost everything from scratch. See if you can join a Co-op. you will most likely have to order by the case(depending on how your Co-op works you may be able to split cases with other), but in my case it comes out to be $1-2/pkg cheaper per PACKAGE than the grocery or healthfood stores. Especially, Bob’s Red Mill products! And that is the brand we use most for the flours that I use in their
bread,cookies, etc.
My daughter is anaphylactic to eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shelfish, and sulfites. I would love for there to be a place for these as well, please.
Do you have recipes that are sugar free? Just wondering incase I could not find the links. My husband is a diabetic so we are trying to eat everything with Splenda now. However, a lot of sweets are hard to make. For example, making a sugar free chocolate cake is a nightmare.
GF cooking is the rule in our home too. It’s easy and cheap to cook boiled 3 lbs of boiled potatoes and keep ready in the fridge. Same with rice. Simple suggestions are to serve boiled or baked potatoes, yams, squash with many meals. One of our favorites is to stir fry 1 lb. ground meat with herbs, 1/2 cup broth and a tablespoon of catsup. Tastes much fancier than it sounds and it tastes yummy over potatoes or rice. GF bread can be really awful, as well as awfully expensive. But GF muffins, pancakes and cookies taste pretty good! Keep hardboiled eggs in the fridge, for quick protein food too. Happy shopping!
