Sorry for the absence but we have been on a journey.....we have gone gluten and dairy free! Let me back up. Guice has really serious eczema. It was so bad he was no longer able to sleep at night and was scratching several places until they were raw and bleeding. About 2 weeks ago we made the leap and with in 3 days there was marked improvement. We had scheduled an appointment with a Pediatric Dermatologist. The Dr. agreed that gluten and dairy free was the best treatment, unless I want him to take a daily allergy med or have steroid cream. Which I do not. So, the very small amount of free time I have has been dedicated to gluten free research! The kiddos have adjusted fairly easily. Guice did demand "real" tortillas after he has a bite of a corn tortilla and EJ thought she was starving to death and wondered if Walmart had closed for the first 3 or 4 days. There was no fuss however when we ditched the whole grain pasta for gluten free rice pasta! The kids love it! I have always made sure they ate healthy, really healthy. However, now it is amazing how much fruit and veggies they are eating!
If you know of any great gluten/dairy free sites let me know!!!

Gushers are gluten and dairy free. I love Gushers and the fact that (even though they are horribly unhealthy and all that) they are on the GF/DF list has made it a less unbearable option for the future. :) You do know what Gushers are right? Practically a fruit.
One of the website links on my blog "A Year of Crockpotting" is written by a mom who makes gluten free foods for one of her kiddos. Click "gluten free" on the sidebar on the left and it will pull up over 400 gluten free recipes. I don't believe they are dairy free too, but you could tweak them :o)
