Love this! I will definitely have to try some of these! I'm a college student so cooking is low on my list, but some of these sound so good I'm going to have to try them

Amanda November 22, 2011 at 9:46 pm

Thank you so very much for putting all of these recipes together! My son is allergic to just about everything and I was sad to think we couldn’t bake anything in our house, ever. You have just opened up a whole new world of cooking for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Michelle November 26, 2011 at 7:49 pm

WOW, thank you so much for organizing all this and sharing!

Jerry Papievis December 11, 2011 at 9:28 pm

We are new at Gluten Free/Vegan free baking. Trying to make the Kolacky’s found on your web site & we are having a VERY hard time rolling them out using a GREAT amount of Rice flour & very cold dough. Any suggestions of what else we might be doing wrong? Would like any info. you may have. Thanks.

Brittany December 11, 2011 at 10:54 pm: Hi Jerry- what brands of flour did you use? Also did you use sweet rice flour?it’s quite different than rice flour.
Where any modifications or changes made to the recipe?

Just wanted to give a BIG Thank You!!!! I just found your site and it is absolutely amazing!! I am just starting research for beginning a Gluten/Refined sugar free lifestyle & your site will be extremely helpful!!

Emily Jelassi January 25, 2012 at 6:10 am

Thank you so much for the incredibly wide variety of recipes!

Kate January 31, 2012 at 3:20 am

Thank you so so much for all these recipes and guiding posts. I also struggle with Hashimoto’s and thyroid issues and it is hard to navigate all the symptoms and side effects. But it’s been great to live a grain/dairy/soy/sugar free lifestyle and feel so much better. I still haven’t figured it all out yet in terms of food triggers, but I consider myself very lucky to have you as a guide. Thanks for putting your time and energy into helping others. I wish us all good health!

Karon July 26, 2012 at 3:58 pm

I am loving your recipes. Thanks for sharing them with us. I have clicked on almost every recipe trying to determine what the second picture is. They look so delicious. Thanks for your help.

rosa August 5, 2012 at 6:09 am

thank you for all these wonderful recipes! I cant seem to figure out what the picture of those yummy looking eats posted above the Breakfast heading are called. Can you let me know so I can look at the recipe? thanks.

Brittany August 5, 2012 at 11:39 pm

Hi Rosa! I just noticed that recipe is not even listed there! Sorry for this!

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for all your wonderful reciepes. Your site has become my favorite go to resource. I’ve been battling with gut and yeast issues recently and I love how you take numerous different allergies/sensitivites into play with your recipes. My two boys are allergic to gluten, dairy in soy and it’s great to have yummy recipes to turn to. Thank you so much!!!

Krista November 17, 2012 at 2:54 pm

Greetings,
I listened to your webinar on Hasimoto’s and hypothyroidism with Datis Kharrazian and I was hoping you could recommend a high quality glutathione cream? I look online, but there are many choices. I want to purchase a reputable brand and high quality product. Suggestions?
Thanks for putting that one. I learned a lot from it.
Best and happy holidays,
Krista

What is the picture posted above “breakfast” recipes? It looks awesome, whatever it is!!

Thank you so much for posting! I have a very restricted diet (no dairy, carbs/gluten or sugar) and seeing that I can enjoy food again has literally made my day!!!

Anastacia December 17, 2012 at 4:42 pm

Thank you for saving my Christmas dinner and everything in-between! These recipes are awesome. I thought I would never get cooking with (or should I say without) all my daughters allergies and intolerances. Dairy first, then came a celiac, and my newest bundle is egg and peanuts! I was sooo lost. So just thank you sooo much and keep up the great work!

Karen February 8, 2013 at 3:29 am

I ran into your website and I am so happy I did. I my food allergies came back last year with a vengence. I am now allergic to gluten, dairy, eggs, chia seeds, peanuts, and tree nuts. It sucks, but being off these foods, I feel so much better. Tomorrow we are trying the wontons, I can’t wait!!. Thanks for what you do. Keep doing it.

Anna February 13, 2013 at 1:00 am

THANK YOU for all these recipes! I have gluten/dairy/soy/nut/egg allergies, and it’s nice to find a blog that caters to that. Question – you have delicious donuts pictured on your title page. Where is the link for that? Thank you again!

Alicia February 17, 2013 at 1:49 pm

We just learned that our daughter has food intolerances across the board. I am so very thankful to have found your website as this will make the transition so much easier. I am excited to try these yummy looking recipes!

denise March 1, 2013 at 3:29 am

Does anybody know what recipe the pic about “Snacks” is for? Thanks!

Tiffany March 9, 2013 at 6:56 pm

Love your site! It’s beautiful, and the recipes look amazing!

Linda March 9, 2013 at 10:20 pm

I am wondering which recipe is pictured in the photo just above the breakfast foods list. Looks delicious, but I can’t figure out what they are, so I can’t find the recipe. Thanks!

Brittany March 9, 2013 at 10:22 pm: Those are the sausage stuffed pancake bites!

Michelle March 15, 2013 at 5:19 am

I’m a little curious – there are a number of recipes that include ingredients that, based on the extensive research I have done on hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s, are a real No-No. For instance, millet, peaches, pears, soy (although you have a number of options that are soy free), and for some, even sugar is a big contributor. I guess you have found they haven’t impacted your thyroid?

Brittany March 15, 2013 at 12:07 pm: This blog is a representation of my journey the last 3 years. In that time my diet has changed in various ways. For the last year I have followed a strictly grain free/ low carb/ sugar free diet. At one point I just followed gluten/dairy Free. There is no one right way to eat if you have hashimotos, there is no one perfect set of rules. I do not subscribe to that way of thinking.
I believe what works for each of of us is best- and on this site you will find a huge variety of different types of recipes using different ingredients.

Donna March 18, 2013 at 3:24 am

Wow!! Thank you for this site. I just bought Dr. K’s book and am getting ready to *try* the diet he recommends. I have Hashi’s and have been gluten free for several years but still not doing well. I was slightly overwhelmed and frustrated with what to eat and am thrilled with the recipes on your site. Thank you so much for sharing them, it is a HUGE blessing!!

Tressa Gaffney March 29, 2013 at 6:58 pm

Hello, I love this site, I am going to try the Naan bread tomorrow. I love baguettes, but I can’t find any around here that are very good. The one company that had really good ones, the store stopped selling them. I remember that the main ingredient was tapioca flour. Will or do you have any recipes for these?
you are wonderful for testing all these items for us!

Joyce April 6, 2013 at 6:26 pm

Hi, there. You are an amazing woman finally figuring out what makes you feel better. It is completely overwhelming to me trying to find out why I feel so terrible. I know I have a hypothyroid and I am borderline Hashi. Why do you go with almond flour instead of GF flour? I know I should be GF and DF but I have been using regular GF flours.

Can you really eat all these foods and not feel terrible? I feel when I eat just a little too much I feel shaky, tired and have muscle pain. I am having a having a hard time gaining weight and everyone thinks I am not eating.

Thank you!

Dan September 4, 2013 at 4:00 am: Hello-
I have a thought for you. Have you had a ALCAT test done? If your not familiar with it, it tests for food sensitivities. although it is spendy it is a way to clinically find out what you are sensitive to. GF flower usually uses many different types of flower in it. you could be sensitive to one or more of the ingredients. also you might be amazed at what you find you shouldn’t be eating. lastly food sensitivities can take up to 72 hours to affect you, so that can make it more difficult to determine on your own what is bothering you. I hope this helps and best of luck.

I’m trying to make gluten free Whoopie pies. I want to try a coconut flour in my current recipe. Can you just replace the all purpose flour with coconut flour and add xanthum gum?

Thanks,

Christie April 9, 2013 at 6:44 am

Brittany,

Thank you SO much for creating all of these recipes. I am lactose intolerant, sensitive to eggs, and more than likely (I get my official test back in a few days) a Candida sufferer. I also have Hypothyroidism, too. At 23, I felt like my life had taken a turn for the worst. I was saddened by the fact that I wouldn’t be able to indulge in any of the food I love! You are such an inspiration, and your words of encouragement have helped me quite a lot. Your recipes are so tasty, and I have tried a few of them already.

Again, thank you so much for helping all of us with whatever need we have, whether it be a Candida-friendly diet, Paleo, Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Egg-free, Corn-free……

Cheers!

Christie

AmyRose April 16, 2013 at 4:07 pm

All I can say is WOW! I did a search for juicing for candida and found you and all of your awesome recipes! And of course all of your great advice for fighting candida! I am amazed and so happy I found your blog. Thank you!

Kara Helfrich May 18, 2013 at 10:19 pm

Hi Brittany!! It was such a pleasure and honor to meet you today. You inspire me and I love your recipes. My all time favorite is the blueberry lavendar scones. I love lavendar!! However, I’ve also enjoyed the cinnamon rolls, pinwheel cookies, and raw cookie dough truffles. I’m in to all the baked goods. Thanks so much for doing the demo and signing at Soergel’s today. I hope you come back again.

To good health and happy cooking!

I just discovered your website and in near tears I am so happy. I have been free of most grains, dairy, eggs, sugar, gluten for about 6 months and I have been really feeling like I have no options. My son has also been recently taken off pretty much the same foods and he is only 6 so being creative is even harder. I am super excited to try out these recipes!!!! THANK YOU!

Hannah June 29, 2013 at 7:06 am

WOW sooooo many options!! Unbelievable! Looking forward to trying lots of these!

ReneeP July 9, 2013 at 1:06 pm

I think I am going to live on your website!!

Julie Riling July 21, 2013 at 2:39 am

Thank you for your dedication and for sharing your passion for cooking! Your proud Mom!

Ellen August 3, 2013 at 4:50 am

I’m new to your site and looking forward to trying out some of your recipes. Your pix look great but I notice you don’t give the name of the recipes shown in the pix – is there a reason for that? I would be interested in a few of those recipes but have no idea what they are called or how to find them. Thanks!

Brittany August 3, 2013 at 11:22 am

In the near future the site will have a new recipe organization system!

Ellen August 7, 2013 at 9:13 am: Great – thanks

Thank you so much for all your delicious recipes! My son is 20 months old and is allergic to dairy, beef, eggs, wheat, barley, corn, rice, nuts, peanuts, pineapple and peas. At times I get so discouraged when I think about cooking for his allergies, but then all I have to do is look through the recipes on your website and I’m so inspired! Last week I made your Yeast-Free, Vegan Sandwich Bread from The Essential Gluten-Free Baking Guide Part 2 and it was amazing! My son is finally able to eat bread! And I have another loaf in the oven right now. It brings tears to my eyes to think that my son may actually be able to have a sandwich just like a typical kid! Thank you!

Brittany August 4, 2013 at 12:36 am: Thank you for this incredibly sweet comment!! <3

No recipe for your avocado fudgsicles? I knew you had them up somewhere.

Dan September 4, 2013 at 4:05 am

Can’t say enough nice things about the site. I am allergic to: wheat. dairy. eggs. vinegar, and night shades to name a few. I’m also hypoglycemic so no sugar of any kind natural of otherwise.
Thank you so much for the site.
Dan

Dan September 4, 2013 at 4:15 am

One other thing I have found smoothies with things like protein powder, fish oil, coconut oil, fruit and other seeds have really helped with my dietary restrictions. I realize that they didn’t have protein powder or blenders in the paleolithic period but have you ever considered adding a smoothy section to your site? I would love to know what you come up with.
Thanks much again,
Dan

Dan September 4, 2013 at 7:12 pm

I just saw the smoothie section. oops. sorry.

Thank you for your recipes! My family is loving them! Keep up the great work.

Hi Brittany.
I love your recipes and have tried many of them. I am curious as to whether you make any soups, particularly “cream” soups. Both my daughters are lactose intolerant and the other is sensitive to anything spicy.. Challenging for sure. Thanks for your help
Keep up the great work!
Trish

Dadvid September 19, 2013 at 10:37 am

Brittany,

Great site!! Would you have any suggestions as to which dough of the ones you have developed you’d use for argentinian empanadas?

Thanks!

David

Monique October 26, 2013 at 3:19 am

Your recipes look awesome. However I followed a link here and sadly couldn’t find the peanut butter bacon cookies I was looking for. A search bar would be extra helpful! I’m using a phone so looking through all the tiny print isn’t working out. Thanks anyway, sounds delicious!
