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 :)

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
