Gluten-Free Foods

13Aug2007 Filed under: Blah blah blah Author: Laura

I was out shopping ALONE yesterday (woohoo!! More about that later!) and I went over to Whole Foods for a little bit, just to browse around. I was actually looking for some supplements for Pablo, but I wasn’t well prepared, since I went shopping kind of on the spur-of-the-moment, and I didn’t find what I was looking for. Since I didn’t really remember what I was looking for to begin with! Holy cats, though, they sure have a LOT of supplements/vitamins/natural remedies in that store!

It’s been a good year or so since I shopped at Whole Foods, since the time we were doing the gluten-free/casein-free diet for Pablo. Back then, I was pleased to find that their customer service was so great, and they helped me find lots of stuff he could eat. They will cheerfully print out a huge list of every gluten-free and dairy free product they carry, sorted by aisle, and you just have to ask. And they’ll do that for any special diet, too, whether you’re doing wheat free or sugar free or whatever.

Now it’s even better, though - obviously there are A LOT of folks out there doing the gluten free thing, because there was an ENTIRE AISLE of wheat-free products. And a much greater selection, too! So I just wanted to put that out there - if you’re trying the gluten-free diet with your autistic child, definitely check out Whole Foods. They’re helpful, and they have a superb selection. Yay!

For people with celiac disease, staying away form bread and the gluten it contains is an obvious solution. Gluten is found in many other processed foods as well, among them yogurt with fruit, ketchup, lunch meats, cheese spreads, salad dressings, and canned soups

I did the gluten-free diet for a year for my autistic son as well. It was a lot of work but I think it was worth it. It helped him get healthy enough to reach some good milestones. You’re so right about Whole Foods, they’re amazing. I used the GF frozen waffles for sandwiches, snacks, and breakfast.
