Thanks so much to replying to this post. I am very new to this avenue of eating and my family has many issues. My son has aspberger's and due to this we eat a gluten free and dairy free diet. We also try to eat a sugar free diet as well. My daughter has a rare genetic disease that deals with her endocrine system. She tends to gain weight very easily and stays hungry all the time. I am very excited about learning to eat healthier.Thanks for the information.  |

My heart just hurts for you ladies and/or your families as I read through your posts about your severe food allergies!  That would be so hard to even know what to eat. If the THM way of eating just simply will not work for you, I cannot recommend the GAPS diet highly enough. I don't know what if would do for your weight, but you could heal your gut and then come back to the THM way of eating for continued health and vitality. It is totally whole foods centered and just fascinating to see the whole body connections that the author/originator points out. It can be especially helpful for children on the autism spectrum too.

One of my friends has a little boy that got very sick when he was just a toddler. After he got well (ended up on major antibiotics even though this family is very farm-fresh-Tess-ish and doesn't like antibiotics) she found that almost everything she fed him made him sick. He couldn't eat wheat, potatoes, dairy, and other things. After searching and finding out about the GAPS diet, she was able to heal him through their guidelines over the next year or so. He now has no food allergies and is doing great. As far as I understand it, the diet is meant to be stayed on for 1-2 years, for full gut healing, and then you can start adding other healthy foods back in. THM might work beautifully for you then. I love what this author has to say about food allergies. Here is a link to her book on Amazon also: www.amazon.com/Psychology-Syndrome-D-D-D-H-D-Schizophrenia/dp/0954852028/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1358688182&sr=1-1&keywords=gut+and+psychology+syndrome |

I am allergic to all tree nuts and to coconut. Do you think this would be doable for me?
Thank you for your thoughts.

I am allergic to all tree nuts and to coconut. Do you think this would be doable for me? Thank you for your thoughts. Absolutely. This plan is flexible for any allergy. It doesn't rely on any one type of food. Simply avoid any recipe that uses an ingredient you cannot use, or sub it for something else. There are lots of options. |

I am allergic to coconut. Can I substitue palm shortening for coconut oil in all the recipes? If so, that may be just the motivation I need to keep moving forward.

Another question, I am allergic to all tree nuts. What can I use in place of almond flour?

Another question, I am allergic to all tree nuts. What can I use in place of almond flour? Coconut flour (both home ground and store bought) and flax meal are great S options. Sometimes home ground coconut flour and flax meal can be used interchangeably with almond flour in recipes, but not always. |

My family and I have been enjoying trying out all your different recipes but I am running into a problem as I am not supposed to have eggs. I haven't been super picky in the past but haven eaten so many in so many recipes lately, I am starting to notice the side-effects. Does anybody have any bright ideas for a supstitute? |

Marybeth- If you have a facebook page, look for the Trim Healthy Mama allergen free group. There are a lot of great suggestions and recipe subs. I am also noticing effects from eggs, but seem to tolerate egg whites better, so I'm trying that in some recipes.

Oh thanks. I am in a facebook group but not the allergen free one. Thank you. I will definitely check that out.

Has anyone used a gluten free bread called the essential baking company super seeded multi grain bread? Costco here in Alaska has recently started selling this. Carbs are 14 fiber 4 sugar 4. That is for 1 slice. Would that work occasionally for an E lunch?
We are a gluten and egg free (mostly) family.

I am allergic to almonds. I read above about how to substitute watered down coconut milk for the almond milk but what about the almond flour. Should I just use ground flaxseed meal?
