Thanks. I have just started to rely on my good old fashioned eyes, when we first started out I was so nervous that I never even thought to read the ingredients on mainstream products. It’s only been 5 weeks since we started but between you and a good book I feel much more confident. I also have downloaded a program onto my iTouch so I can check the unknown ingredients. I even had Eli take a GF cupcake and frosting to the birthday party he was invited to and not a melt down to be had as he ate his and the other kids ate theirs–we’re all figuring this out. Now I just need to get the word out that it’s not just an “autism diet” but it also works for our little ones with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).

Mrschaits – the ingredient list on all Robert’s Gourmet products is very simple and clear. There are no preservatives or questionable things like “natural flavors;” just corn, rice, salt and oil for the most part. But you can always call the manufacturer of a product if you’re not sure. There’s usually a 1-800 number on the product somewhere, or a website where you can email them. So far almost every company I’ve contacted has been extremely helpful, and they know the answer right away because a lot of people are asking these days. I’ve even stood there in the grocery store and called on my cellphone before. Plus, even if the answer is that the product does have gluten, if enough people call and ask it may encourage them to change their formulas or offer alternative products, like General Mills and Betty Crocker have done recently.

How did you figure out that Tings and Veggie Booty were gluten free???? Very exciting.

I would imagine kids could get enthralled with certain items and request (demand ;o)) them for days on end.
