AHHHHH!!! That is SO hard! Evan is allergic to peanuts too. But that is really his only food allergy. I have a friend whose middle son was allergic to wheat, eggs, peanuts, milk and ... that may be it. She has gotten really good at cooking and baking without all those things. I wish she was closer to you and she could help you out! I have no idea where to send you to start looking! Good luck, though! Let us know if you see any changes on the gf/cf diet. I still haven't decided what to do with that and Evan currently only eats things that contain gluten, caesin or both! He is dairy and wheat products only! I am afraid he'd starve if we went gf/cf! Maybe if I was sneaky about it...

There's a CF.GF Diet Forum on cafemom. I joined for awhile and got some good ideas. Search for it and I'll see if I can find any info. We are dairy free but decided not to go Wheat free... so I dropped the group. But it was a helpful place while I was trying to decide.

It is a great resource book(tells you why you remove the food and what to expect) and doesn't focus solely on gluten and casein. It includes a subset for kids who may be allergic to eggs, nuts or soy too. It has some great recipes in it also. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

That's great info. Thanks! As I said in an earlier reply, Evan is allergic to peanuts, so I may look into that book.
