gluten free, oat free, egg free breakfast ideas needed for 6 year old

My 6 year old is gluten free & oat free, doesn't like eggs or any other breakfast meat besides bacon.  I need help with breakfast ideas!  I feel like all I can get in her are pancakes, yogurt, chex cereal, and bacon.  Does anyone have any ideas for me?

Thanks!

Peanut butter on apple slices or bananas. Waffles. Hash browns - shredded potato. Have you tried just giving her egg whites -- no yolk? Maybe she would like them. Why does breakfast always have to be traditional breakfast food? How about a PBJ for breakfast or a BLT? How about tacos or burritos?

Why not leftovers from dinner?  Grilled cheese?  I like to take cold cuts and lay them on a plate, then sprinkle with some cheese, microwave to melt, roll up and eat.  Or some plain chicken on a corn tortilla with cheese, red pepper ( or tomato if she likes) microwave and fold up. PB on crackers.  

but , lots of people eat the same breakfast every single day.  So maybe she is OK?

Quinoa or amaranth sprinkled with nuts, raisins & a bit of sugar; you could even crumble bacon on top. Grits.

Pocono cream of buckwheat.

My DD likes a less traditional breakfast sometimes such as gluten-free ravioli or perogies.  She also loves Rudy's gluten-free cheese bread.  gluten-free crackers or matzo with peanut butter, cream cheese or Nutella are also popular.  And for a real treat, there's always Lucky Charms which are now gluten-free.

I would be careful with  Cheerios and Lucky Charms if the child has Celiac.  GM doesn't have a very good record of actually testing to see if the mechanical sorting eliminated the wheat/ gluten.  Perhaps they will be more consitant in the future as I believe I have heard that the FDA was investigating.

I agree!

What about a smoothie?  You can add nut butters or protein powder.  Avocado, coconut milk,  spinach, carrots, and cooked sweet potato can be added without even noticing they are in there to amp up calories and nutrients.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions!  I think I felt at a loss when we had to cut oats- we used to do cheerios and oatmeal regularly and now those are out.  She has a sensitivity to oats as well as wheat/barley/rye.  :(

  • If she misses the hot cereal then try quinoa or amaranth as an alternative to oatmeal

We make a bowl if brown rice, kinda like oats.  I cook up a big pot of short grain brown rice...long grain isn't as good for breakfast, in my opinion...but then I keep the cooked brown rice if the fridge.  In the mornings, I put a serving of brown rice into a saucepan with a little milk sub ( we use watered down canned coconut milk, but we've used other milk substitutes in the past...or people who can tolerate real milk could use that), brown sugar and cinnamon, or else maple syrup, honey, etc., just to taste, then we add raisins, diced apples, blueberries, or whatever...sometimes I add walnuts, etc..  Eat it in a bowl like oats...tastes pretty good for breakfast.

another pancake recipe you may want to try that is really easy and fluffy is:

mix 1,5 cup cooked rice, 1 ripe banana, 2 eggs and some cinnamon in a food processor or with any other tool that will blend the rice. Then make really small pancakes from it so they are easy to turn.

The result is the easiest fluffiest sweetest pancakes ever! 

However, I would not recommend eating these pancakes too often, eating more than 3 eggs per week is not healthy. 
Let me know if you try this recipe :)

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting. Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time? I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt. Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand...

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi Cristiana Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa. The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives. An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis o...

      Do Antibiotics in Babies Increase Celiac Disease Risk Later in Life? (+Video)

      In Addison’s disease, autoimmmune adrenal cortex disease adrenal glands don't make enough cortisol. At 12, it is usually caused by an autoimmune attack. It has a strong genetic link to the HLA-DQ8 gene. After 12 gluten free and 14 years on prednisone for adrenal insufficiency (symptoms like you describe from 1984 until 2014) I recently removed all c...

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

      Hello @CC90 Can I just ask a question: have you actually been told that your biopsy were normal, or just that your stomach, duodenum and small intestine looked normal? The reason I ask is that when I had my endoscopy, I was told everything looked normal.  My TTG score was completely through the roof at the time, greater than 100 which was then the cut off max. for my local lab.  Yet when my biopsy results came back, I was told I was stage 3 on the Marsh scale.  I've come across the same thing with at least one other person on this forum who was told everything looked normal, but the report was not talking about the actual biopsy samples, which had to be looked at through a microscope and came back abnormal.
