Yep, been there! I have a little girl in my care who has gluten/wheat sensitivities. Also, my son is ADHD. When he was small, I put him on a very strict diet specifically designed for the disorder and wheat was a big no-no. Actually, none of us are really supposed to eat it....not terribly healthy for us.

There are some pretty decent products out there right now, so you're luckier than I was 14 years ago dealing with my son's diet. For pasta, I've found corn pasta to cook up nicer than rice pasta. It doesn't fall apart as easily. There are lots of breads out there and they're quite good, but don't last long. I'm partial to rice flour or potato flour breads. Keep them in the freezer and pull them out a slice at a time to maintain freshness. I've found that even doing this, they still get dry and crumbly, so I typically toast it before using. Spelt breads are nice as well, but quite dense. If your child doesn't like brown bread, the potato and rice varieties my suit her better. I was told, way back when, that Kamut might be ok to use....worth a try. It's still wheat, but is more pure (not as altered as today's varieties). My son was fine with it. I got a bread maker and just made all our own breads. Bulk Barn has a pretty good 'all purpose mix'. I tried to formulate my own, but everything came out gummy. Bulk Barn has the nicest I've found, as yet. I even made shortbread with it last year. It was 'ok' but not the same as using wheat flour. I probably wouldn't recommend making bread with it. Make sure to get Xanthan Gum as well as you need that to bind your baked goods. It's expensive, but goes a long way. There are some great cereal bars. Expensive, but comparable to our usual Nutrigrain, etc. Cereals....oodles of them! Look for Gorilla Munch and Panda Puffs (my favourites). It's just like Corn Pops, but one has peanut butter - no wheat, no preservatives, no refined sugar. They're awesome!!!

There are enough products out there that you should be able to continue to feed her pretty much as you always have. Just read your labels and maybe have a look at your local health food store. We have Nature's Emporium, which is incredible!!! It's a one stop shop for all your health and holistic needs.
