Personally I think I'll treat spices just like foods, introducing one then wait to be sure they're ok with it. That way I'll know if they like it alone and you can track any reactions. If you look at the organic jarred foods they have some pretty strongly spiced meals. My sister used gerber organics with my niece and one of the beef stews was too spicey for her. The poor kid made terrible faces and even though it had wheat in it I did a quick tip of the tongue test and it was TOO much, like they dump a jar of basil in it.

I've been on a wheat, dairy and preservative free diet for about 6 or 7 years now. It was harder in the beginning but now gluten free is so mainstream it's a snap pretty much today. I can still do gluten technically, but most products I use fit into gluten free. Not sure how long you've been doing it, but if you like I can PM you some links. (dont' want to totally throw the thread with gluten free links!)

Would love some links...I just started yesterday. I'm self diagnosing my auto immune disease. The only time it was in remission was when I was on Atkins...the more research I did, the more sense it made. But it's in EVERYTHING!
