[quote=Anonymous]My teen DD has gluten intolerance (not celiac) so we are pretty much GF at home. Some things that work for us...

Focus mostly on foods that are naturally GF rather than finding substitutes for bread/pasta/etc. That means we eat a lot more rice and our take out options tend to be Asian foods or Mexican rather than pizza. 
For breakfasts, oats are your friend. She eats cheerios or oatmeal.
For treats I look for recipes that use meringues or based on almond flours

That said, some GF substitutes she finds acceptable as Udi's bread for when she really wants a grilled cheese sandwich. Annie's GF mac & cheese. We haven't really been happy w/ GF pastas except in lasagna where the different texture isn't so noticeable. She'd mostly rather have an Asian rice noodle dish.  I make her pizza with the Bob's Red Mill mix.

The hardest thing is eating on the road while traveling or when she's hanging out with friends. For those times, salads are always a good option or a smoothie shop. And, she's learned her tolerance level. She can eat the occasional slice of real pizza (the thing she misses the most) without ill effect as long as it is really occasional. Overdoing it = a migraine, so she's careful.

I also recommend the America's Test Kitchen How Can It Be Gluten Free cookbook. Their waffle and chocolate chip cookie recipes are family favorites. [/quote]
