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!

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
