2. tomato soup also has high fructose corn syrup in it..

....at least Campbell's does.

Sure, you can use tomato sauce or paste. Sometimes I use V-8 instead of other stuff.

Keep on plugging. It's really hard to cook for special needs diets. Do you know we have a baking and cooking forum here, with lots of friendly and helpful people?

4. Are people with celiac disease allergic to bran? If not you could try putting bran in your meatloaf.

12. Doesn't really help with your soup (try Amy's or Health Valley)

but here's a really awesome gluten free bakery I can totally vouch for (and they ship) http://www.aznaglutenfree.com/

14. Wow! Squash is one of the least-allergenic foods.

How does it present?

Have you tried rice in the meatloaf?

19. thank you

this has been a huge change for us.

He almost died a couple of years ago and that is when we found out about the squash. We had suspected bread, but didn't think about it being wheat...

had he not had an epi=pen he would have died.
