[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 377172, member: 3419"] Hi Geekparent, first of all, don't think about it in terms of another yr. Think about today and tomorrow. It's sort of like AA. Otherwise, you'll be overwhelmed--as you are. Second, getting rid of white flour is a great idea. Here is a link to gluten free recipes (I can't use all of them because my son is also lactose intolerant). Be prepared for some meltdowns and wasted food--nothing beats a Twinkee, ya know? ;) But it will come with-time. I always have a backup plan for foods that difficult child won't eat or that don't turn out. One: feed it to the birds. Two: Eat it myself. Three: Ummm... I don't have a third option yet. ;) Anyway, they also offer ideas on local restaurants, as shown below. I order rice flour, tapioca flour, and bean flour from Amazon.com. There is also a new bakery down the street that will bake gluten free items if I order enough, and order in advance. You can probably find one in your area. It is a growing need and a great way for people to make money. The bakers I know all have gluten allergies and had to learn to bake with-o wheat due to necessity, and ended opening bakeries and tea shops. When life gives you lemons ...
