Goat milk will solve that. Duck eggs might solve the egg problem

You could bread with potato flakes or use any of the following gluten free
grains http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/reci...des/grains.php

plenty of gluten free grains/pasta

Let meatloaf be your savior, but how do you make meatloaf without touching raw
meat?

Just a suggestion, and I know how prickly you get when you actually get help,
but I'd write a gut-wrenching letter to Rachel Ray and Dr Oz (In fact todays
episode showed an extremely low-carb, gluten free, low fat, low calorie pizza
that used cauliflower for the base...yes, this is where you tell us your tale
of woe about her and veggies) and see if they think you would make a good show
or even a good reality series. I'd also write to every food show on the food
channel and see if anyone would take pity on you.

And then there are the clinical trials that you might qualify for, but of
course haven't looked for.

all low-carb?


> Gah! What to do! What to do?

You could of course actually involve your daughter in the solution instead of
treating her like a baby. The fact that you tolerate her throwing food on the
floor shows your inability to treat her like an adult. You could have her cook
those raw meats you won't touch...but that would require you getting involved
with her instead of her problem.

It might be interesting to find out what she has done in regards to searching
for answers to her problems...she is searching for answers, isn't she?
