newly diagnosed and looking for help

My 5 year old was just diagnosed this summer with celiacs.  We are trying very hard to remove all gluten in hopes that the hair loss she is experiencing will be reversed.  She is a very picky eater and is not happy about this.  Do celiac parents allow their child to eat the following:

Doritos (nacho cheese)

Trader Joes hash browns

snow cones from Mr. Softee (packaged)

 

These are items that I have researched and have been confused by the information I have seen online.

Thank you for your help.

Nacho cheese Doritos are my one processed food I allow myself as a treat. I check the label each time I get them though, always amazed I can eat them. But I couldn't have any dairy for nearly a year after going gluten-free. Made me sick. But thankfully afterwards it was ok. This is similar to many people on the board.

i do not know anything about the other 2 foods mentioned, sorry.

usually as a precaution and to speed healing, we recommend going about a year with zero processed foods and no eating out. Just eating whole, simple foods. Very healthy too!

Frito-Lay does not test this type of Doritos to see if it is gluten free.  They don't have gluten-containing ingredients, but could be contaminated.

BeanFields, and Beanitos makes a certified gluten free, corn free, version, and the beanfields one is vegan being dairy free. I can give you links where to get them online if you wish. I personally use Protes which are a carb and dairy free version but the flavor is very weak in them and the texture is VERY toasted and a acquired taste. You can find most of these on LuckyVitamin.com.

Doritos in Canada have gluten free on the packaging. There are definitely a staple in our house with 4 kids 13-21.  Unfortunately, my daughter who is the one with Celiac has never liked them, so it is in the house as an extra gluten-free food for her brothers to enjoy.  I am only six weeks into the diet and have crossed the border to the US to find gluten-free products we don't have here in Canada.  Don't know if you live close to the border, but you could definitely have our Doritos.

      Restaurant had a ‘GF’ pizza option… then whispered, ‘But we use the same oven.’ 🍕⚰️ Share your worst ‘gluten-free, but not really’ moments!

      I have not made my own juices but have made my own granola copycat recipe from Trader Joes Turmeric ginger granola. Have you made your own juices? blending vs cold pressed what is better?

      Sadly, I just now see the extremely tiny and hard to read wording on the label from some I got from nuts.com last year and it's below the certified gluten free sign which is more obvious. Another concern is that there's no expiration date to be found on any of the packages I have gotten.. It's confusing because they claim these are certified gluten free which Is why I got them due to having celiac. Looks like Tierra Farm has the lesser of the allergens, specifically wheat, so I will have to give them a try. Thanks

      After many years of running Celiac.com, one thing I've noticed is that I rarely hear about support groups that organize gluten-free picnics. It seem like this would be a great way to get celiacs together. I've attended various conferences, meetings, and events over the years, but strangely, no gluten-free picnics.
