I see you say that your son is intollerent to chocolate, eggs, soy and corn... my son is also, but he is "allergic" to eggs...How do you make ketchup? I will have to buy it if I can't come up with a good recipie... (not sure of the soy yet, but have an idea.. started him on potato milk)
These added restrictions make it alot harder. I have to watch what kind of potato chips I give him becaue of the corn. I can tell even if it is a VERY SMALL amount... he gets whinny and then he will crash out for 2-3 hours.... weird... Cereal is also hard to find. I swear that all the kid eats is RICE!!!
Please advise if you have any ideas.... Thanks...
Oh by the way... anyone have any problems with Tuna (diary free!) and red meat?
Thanks

I have a recipe for making ketchup...I have made it. She likes it fine...
12 Plum tomatoes, chopped
1 onion, very finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced fine
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 red pepper, chopped very fine
1 1/2 tsp celery seeds
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 TBSP sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
Boil tomatoes, onion, garlic, salt, red pepper, for about 30 minutes, or until it has the consistancy of "sauce"
Strain through a sieve and discard the solids.
Place all the spices in a bouquet garni (or wrap them in cheesecloth), closing with string or a twist tie. Place in the sauce and stir in the sugar. Simmer slowly, stirring often, for about 30 minutes.
Add the vinegar and remove the spice bag. Simmer on low heat for another 10-12 minutes.
Cool and pour into a sterilzed jar or jars. This makes about a quart of ketchup.
Seal as directed on jar/lid packages for later use. You may want to find some small jars to store in, because this only lasts for about a month opened. Unopened jars last for about 6 months.
Now having listed this, I wanted to try making it, but it was not something I particulary want to do all the time. Heinz ketchup is GFCF. I also have bought that for her. Sometimes, I think the prepackaged food it just easier, unless you have the problem with corn like you do, b/c it does have corn syrup in it. I hope this recipe helps you
