I don’t.
I have no idea what I’ve spent on food in the last 7 months. All I know is I am (somewhat) in credit card debt due to ordering supplements and foods from the internet, plus all the trial, error and mistakes that come along with starting the diet.
Yes my friends, I threw out [...]

Vanilla Cupcakes with Strawberry Icing
Psst. Have you heard the rumor that “vanilla” or “white” cake is impossible on the GFCF diet? Not true my friends, not true. You too can make a lovely white cake.
No, it isn’t paper white, like a bakery, more like a light yellowy-cream. But, to me that’s a white cake. So here’s the recipe:

Super Nu-Thera trial
We’re trying out Super Nu-Thera at our house now. We started with a trial size of Lemon Lime liquid which is gross-nasty by itself. That is about as low as I can rate something, really. So, we’ve mixed it in with strong citrus type juice (just a bit) and Nathan seems to [...]

Think A Kid Won’t Starve Him or Herself?
For all those “naysayers” who give us a hard time about some of the feeding issues we have with our kids – I give you this British case
The child in question had dental surgery & then refused to open her mouth & eventually died of dehydration & starvation. She was 8 years old.
Obviously there [...]

Thrifty Therapy
I bet you’ve never heard of “thrifty therapy” but you are probably doing already anyhow. I mean really, who can actually afford the 40 hours/week of ABA therapy? (Not that I like the approach, but that is the ‘gold standard’ treatment for ASD) Or, who can afford 4 hours or more per [...]

GF Fish Coating
We really like fish, particularly the milder white fish, like basa, cod, tilapia, halibut, pickerel (etc.) My husband’s all-time favorite indulgence is Joey’s Only seafood, where he orders 3 piece fish & chips that is heavily battered & lots of tartar sauce. I’ve never been able to replicate that batter, so I’ve given up on [...]

Little Note To Myself
I hope that this blog is helpful to other people also, but I am loving how I can keep track of stuff here too. For instance, I can look back & see what level of supplementation is working (or not working) for Nathan.
We started him on folic acid (1000 mcg), increased yeast like crazy. So [...]

Folic Acid Yeast Solved
Previously, I wrote that giving Nathan 1000 mcg of Folic Acid (for speech development) drastically increased his yeast. We are talking so bad that his babysitter wanted to know what was “wrong with him”.
I decided to go with a double punch approach – GSE and Biotin. I decreased his biotin to 2×300 mcg x 3 [...]

Better Late Than Never!
So, I had a really “day” at work yesterday & couldn’t bear to face one more second of computer time at home, so I missed Thrifty Tuesday posting. Oops.
Well, if you were waiting on baited breath for a new tip, hint or idea, I am sorry. My next favorite way to save money: hand-me down [...]

Folic Acid Trial
We started Nathan on 1 mg (1000 mcg) of Folic Acid on Thursday. He is making some major gains in speech these days & I really want to help support that growth. Is it doing anything? At this point, I would say “No”. I think it is increasing his yeast because he’s getting progressively louder.
He’s currently taking [...]
