We have just been told that my 4 yr old has to switch to a CF and gluten-free diet. I am totally overwhelmed!!! Could someone suggest a kid friendly recipe or cookbook to get me started?? I bought some gluten-free pancake mix and made a big batch. He spit the 1st bite out!

I would appreciate any suggestions/tips that you all might have!

Thanks!

Websites like this one and the delphi forum have great recipes that real live celiac people have eaten! But the cookbooks I use:

The Gluten-Free Kitchen by Roben Ryberg (I've used it so much I bought a second copy. Some of the recipes didn't work so well with egg substitute, but it uses nice easy-to-get ingredients)

The Kid-Friendly Food Allergy Cookbook by Leslie Hammond (lots of multiple-allergy recipes, with subsitutions noted.)

Incredible Edible Gluten-Free Food for Kids by Sheri Sanderson. (has some fun and unique ideas, but we don't use this one as much. It is the "nicest" cookbook in terms of layout and design)

Good luck! My son is now 12 and was dx at 10 -- it does get easier :)

If you google Gluten-free Casein-free diet there are quite a few websites and I think some of them even have recipe sections.

I saw a thread recently about gluten-free burger buns that are apparently very light and fluffy. A search should turn it up for you. The poster even supplied a video to show the "spongyness" and stuff.

I recently tried the Kinnikinnick hamburger rolls. Just wrap in in a paper towel and nuke it for about 30 seconds and it nice and fresh and soft!

I don't know if they are Gluten-free Casein-free...Sorry I wasn't paying attention to that part of your post.

It may take a while to find replacements that are palatable to kids, and it may also take them a while to "forget" the taste of wheat. Be patient, and experiment!

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      TTG would refer to a blood antibody test. Not valid if you are already eating gluten free or mostly so. DQH would refer to a genetic test to see if you possess either or both of the two genes that have been connected most strongly to developing active celiac disease. The genetic test is more of a rule out measure than a diagnostic test as about 40% of the general population have one or both of those genes but only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. If you don't have the genes but gluten causes you issues then the conclusion is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. So, the genetic testing helps with a differential diagnosis. I don't know about the 2P. 2 Pairs of genes?

      gluten-free Canada finds

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Pamela Kay · Posted

      Glad this helped. There are lots of alternative breads out there, so someone has likely made some sort of paleo bread with no grain. And if you bake, experiment with some of the alternative flours to see what you can come up with. If you commit to the gluten-free diet 100%, you may want to do a bit of research on some of the tricker aspects of getting gluten out of your diet, such as cross contamination in the home kitchen (pots and pans, cutting boards, toaster, airborne flour). Don't feel you have to do everything at once, or let this overwhelm you. I've always said that going gluten free is a process, not a moment. The reason I mention this is that, if you think you are gluten-free, but still having symptoms, you may realize that even minute amounts of gluten cause a reaction for a while. Let me know if you have any questions.  Pam

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
