Gluten-free diet: What has worked? Your tips

Thank you for your kind words. No, I don't collect cookbooks; have enough from back in the day when I could eat pretty much what I wanted. Now I find recipes in the newspaper, etc. and adapt them. Of the recipes I posted, the meatloaf was a family recipe, adapted, and the cookies were from a Natural Grocers flier, also adapted. I'm not so much focused on recipes, but on ingredients, trying to figure out what I can digest. Gluten free recipes usually contain sugars to compensate for the lack of wheat. What kinds of recipes does the Autism Cookbook contain? My main issue is fructose malabsorption caused by severe viral food poisoning, not gluten intolerance. We are quite happy with the diet and menu we are eating now; there is a good rotation, and some of the food we like better than before the food poisoning. Thanks again.

I am really sorry to hear you got food poisoning. To combat the problem with sugars you might want to use Stevia. I am unsure of how it will affect you. When I bake anything GF I have learned that where a recipe calls for 1 egg, I need to put in 2 eggs if I want it to turn out correctly. I have an old cookbook I got for Christmas in 1973 and I substitute the flour with various types/brands of flours, and often times reduce the quantity as there are only two of us now.

I also have an even older cookbook from El Molina Mills the tactually has some GF recipes in it.
