Gluten free cooking

Tweet

Does anyone cook gluten free food? I have to cook all meals gluten free for my husband. What makes things worse, is that he needs low salicylates foods too. For those of you who don't know what this is: Gluten is the protein in wheat, so all breads, cakes, biscuits, pasta & lots of tinned & packaged food has to be avoided. Takeaway food as well usually has gluten. Salicylates are a naturally occurring chemical that appears in many fruits and vegetables. Some are high level salicylates such as tomatoes, cucumbers & capsicums. Fruits that are high are all citrus fruits, apricots & plums. Nearly all herbs & spices are very high too. Plus of course, artificial chemicals and preservatives. My husband can have high and medium levels of salicylates now, although he used to have to avoid the lot. This combined with the gluten free, makes cooking very difficult. I bake all his bread, although it can be bought at a high price. Most of our meals are very plain. Does anyone want to exchange gluten free recipes?
