If she uses a computer and has a connection, that is a fantastic source for recipes she could use. Cranberry Applesauce Recipe MAKES 2 QUARTS (8 CUPS) INGREDIENTS • 3 to 4 pounds of peeled, cored, roughly chopped Granny Smith apples (or other good cooking apple such as Golden Delicious, Fuji, Jonathan, Mcintosh, or Gravenstein) • 1 1/2 cups to 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries • 2 Tbsp lemon juice • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1/4 cup of brown sugar • 1/2 cup white sugar • 1 cup water • 1/2 teaspoon salt METHOD 1. Place all of the ingredients in a large (5-quart) pot. Bring to a boil, lower heat to a simmer and cover. Cook 20-30 minutes, or until the apples can easily be mashed. 2. Remove from heat. Mash the apples and cranberries with a potato masher to the consistency you want. Serve hot as a side to pork or turkey. Or serve hot or cold as a dessert with some vanilla ice cream. Store in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks, or freeze for up to a year. Makes 1 1/2 to 2 quarts.

I do know there is a Co Op Health Food store there and I will suggest that. Now that you've mentioned it I vaguely remember a larger selection there. Having raised 4 kids who were all Vegan or Vegetarians I've shopped there far more times than I care to recall lol. She is a dessert freak so any goodies type foods would be greatly appreciated. I know it must be tricky to make gluten free treats, it drove me nutty when 2 of the 4 of my kids were Vegan and baking without dairy was hard enough to get a good texture and flavor. I've been doing my homework online as well but pulling a recipe is always risky, I'd love some tried and true treats. Mrs Sav

The tend to be two, in addition to health food stores that carry a greater inventory of gluten free products. Many restaurants are now marking product as gluten free on their menus. However, there's very little regulation on this and commercial kitchens and bakeries often are preparing foods side by side leading to a cross contamination. Among the chains, Carrabas Italian Grill is one she can definitely count on to do it right. I've been in their kitchens. I'll put together as many ideas as I can think of and share in here. Mango salsa is yummy! I add fresh pineapple to mine fo ra little extra zing.

I posted it here for lack of a "better" spot feeling women "generally" do most of the cooking and I had hoped someone might have a child so they'd have experience this and the limits on foods and eating gluten free as a way of life. Of course input from men is welcome but I notice they don't pass by this topic strictly because it is titled "women" any more than we women skip the "mens" forums...so here we are. Mrs Sav

Mrs. Sav, a very good friend of mine believes she has Celiac disease though she was never tested, but in any case whenever she comes to my house for a meal, I check every ingredient for gluten. It shows up in ingredients that you wouldn't suspect, such as Tyson chicken broth and beef broth. In any case, I do have several recipes that are gluten free and delicious. I'll send them to you later today, if you like. The easiest way to manage it is to use only fresh ingredients in cooking so you can control everything in the dish. Here's one that we like quite a bit: Mango Salsa 1 diced ripe mango 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper (about 1/2 of a small red bell pepper) 1 finely chopped green onion 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional: 1 finely chopped fresh jalapeño or ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes) mix ingredients together in a bowl, cover, and let sit at LEAST 30min This is wonderful over pan-fried, unbreaded fish.

They specialize in all kinds of good allergy items (IE: Gluten free, Dairy free, Nut free, etc.) Might be a good place to start?

For the past 2 years my best friend in the whole world has been losing weight like crazy she has dropped to 97 lbs (5'5") she has sores that wouldn't heal, headaches , heavy bleeding and an endless list of ailments. During that time she saw one specialist after another who would do a few tests , tell her to eat more, drink protein shakes, provide antibiotics etc. No matter how much she ate she was still losing weight . "Friends" started treating her badly and making snide remarks about her "dieting" and how "terrible" she looked .She was in and out of the hospital 4 least times. They ruled out so many many things but only today FINALLY pinpointed what is wrong with her. During one of her recent tests they noticed a dramatic thinning in her intestines,when all was said an done she has Celiac disease which is an allergy to gluten resulting in damage to the small intestine. Although this is a hard lifestyle change it isn't the cancer sentence we were starting to be convinced was coming. Any information on how to make this transition easier, a good recipe , an excellent gluten free product you know of etc would be appreciated. It is a relief to know my friend isn't dying, I know that sounds dramatic but it has been a hell of a year for her and I started to really believe she would be gone before the year is out. Mrs Sav
