Well, we’ve been a month into school & having a pretty ggod one at that! Nathan started Grade 1 and has been pretty thrilled about going to school every day.
We’ve battled a bit of yeast mid-way through the month on the “advice” of his teacher. Meaning – she noticed his ‘volume control’ was lacking, which [...]

What a Difference!

Frustrated.
Nathan had a rough day yesterday. He was overtired having been out late combining with Dad but that doesn’t totally explain the rotten day he had. He had trouble sharing at daycare, was incredibly emotional about everything and even had an accident & wet himself.
When I came to collect him, he was pretty upset and [...]

Cookie Thief
There is a cookie thief in my house. And it isn’t me, so don’t go there. Yes, I have noticed that we are suddenly short of cookies again & yet I just made a whole bunch of them on Saturday.
I’ll admit it, I know the culprit too. I’ve even caught him red-handed. Unfortunately, I suspect [...]

It’s Not One OR the Other
I’m having a great e-mail conversation with a lovely woman these days & she said something that I thought really needed to be explored.
People told her not to pursue the GFCF diet because her child was responding so well to ABA and other therapy.
Wow. Do people think the GFCF diet is a stand-alone intervention? Or [...]

Now It’s 1 in 100
Autism rates in the US (ages 2 – 17) are now at 1 in 100. One percent.
It wasn’t very long ago it was 1 in 10,000. Or even 1 in 166. Or 1 in 150.
Actually, if you factor in the .6% that had a ASD at one time, but don’t now, we’re down to 1 [...]

Applesauce Waffles
These waffles are pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. I took the originial recipe from “The Kid Friendly ADHD and Autism Cookbook” and then ran with it. Hey, I love to experiment and give credit where it is due!
Applesauce Waffles
1 cup GF Flour blend
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 [...]

Biomedical = Bankruptcy?
It occurs to me on a pretty much constant regular basis that all this Biomedical intervention has the possibility of bankrupting not only me but thousands of other families. And, if it doesn’t bankrupt me, it surely will put a “crimp” in our lifestyle that other families simply don’t have.
Don’t get me wrong. My child [...]

Gluten Free Flour Blends
If you want to bake Gluten Free, you will likely have much more success with a blend of flours. Bette Hagman, the guru of gluten free cooking has several blends that I have had great success with.
And yes, you can buy pre-mixed gluten free flour blends. They are more expensive than doing it yourself & [...]

H1N1 Vaccine Thoughts
I saw this on the “Hot Blogs” list here at WordPress & thought to myself - this woman has written a great post on why she won’t be getting the H1N1 (Swine Flu) vaccine.
Now, she’s not a GFCF blogger, so it was even more satisfying to know that we’re not the only ones concerned about the [...]

Packaged GFCF Goods We’ve Encountered
My stat counter tells me that people want to know what they can buy in a Canadian grocery store that is GFCF. Well, like I said before, there isn’t much & what is available is expensive. Cost aside, it is easier to tote a mix or two to Grandma’s house instead of all the ingredients [...]
