The start

So I have finally done it, written something for this blog and made Gluten free, Dairy free scones that look and taste like proper irish scones. No buttermilk required no butter no ordinary flour.
I will share my recipes as I go to help others enjoy nice food, especially mums looking to try the GFCF diet on their kids. Mine are on it 7 months now and the difference is huge. It is a pain, no word of a lie and I have found that an awful lot of GF foods don't agree with them so we have turned to mainly an unprocessed diet, so our bread, cakes, scones, pizza are made at home, we are also using coconut milk instead of soya, so no soya cheese or yogurts as these started to cause problems and limited amounts of corn and corn products too. We have also used elements of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, Australia's elimination diet to help eliminate as many food additives and preservatives as possible from the boys diet. Their diet is medically based, allergist developed and has been used in their hospital since 1987.
All I cans anybody the Gluten free Caesin free diet for kids with Autistic Spectrum Disorder is it's worth a try, start with dairy and you could see changes within a week, they might not be life altering but they might be an improvement. And be prepared for them to be ravenous for the first month or two,I thought I would never keep them fed or be able to afford to stay on this diet. Now it has settled down and they eat better most of the time, not fabulously as we have issues with texture and colours etc but they don't usually crush their food or refuse to eat from breakfast til breakfast like before.
Plus if I had the recipes I have now at the beginning it would have been easier then all the tries and fails that happened and you'd still have to make something else because otherwise there was nothing to eat.
We have three kids, twin boys aged 5 with ASD and a not so little girl who is 3. And our dog who loves The boys bread crusts and leftover pancakes.
