So it seems that rice may be something that we have to watch out for. C is right. We need a rotation diet. And some professional help. So I have a call into a nutritional therapist and I'm working out new recipes. (Read--I'm dumping flours into the mixing bowls in ever new and creative ways and waiting to see what comes out of the oven.) By so doing, I've made a few disoveries.
First off, millet flour and tapioca starch biscuits are quite yummy.
Secondly, teff flour makes a delicious pizza crust. I like it better than the rice flour one. Much softer and has a better "mouth feel."
And, sadly, cooking without rice flour is expensive. A 25# bag of rice flour was running me in the neighborhood of $15. The 25# bag of teff flour I just ordered was $37.
I've been reading up on diet options. It seems we already pretty muc follow a Paleo-type diet. Only with only the meat for protein.
Our no-no's currently:
- eggs
- nuts and peanuts
- wheat and gluten (oats, rye, barley, spelt and relatives)
- sesame
- dairy
- corn
- potatoes
- refined sugar
- anything at all artificial (dyes, flavors, sweeteners, preservatives)
- rice
- soy-I try to just use this as soymilk when I really need it or tofu for Thanksgiving
- sorghum
- goats milk
- legumes
- I may need to watch out for tomatoes as they're related to potatoes
- I found a good source for local, grass-fed beef if I buy a full side
- all the other grains such as, buckwheat, teff, millet, quinoa, sorghum and amaranth
- hemp seems to be safe
- flax is working out pretty well for baking with
- all other meats except shellfish are fine, and I do have access to lots of local, sustainable meats
- fruits and veggies are fine
- coconut, palm, olive, canola, avocado, grapeseed, and sunflower oils--I do have to work to make sure he gets enough fats
