My 12 yr old daughter is having difficulties with following her gluten-free diet (recently diagnosed).

1- Does anybody have a similar situation where de child can't eat Gluten, Red-dyes and spices?

2- Vitamins? (iron from "Nature Made" ) gluten-free, DF.

Thanks

Welcome!

Food intolerances are common in celiacs (lactose, soy, corn, just about anything!). They are often temporary, but some are permanent.  What kind of spices?  You need to be careful with spice blends as some may contain gluten.   I can say that I have garlic, onion and hot pepper intolerances which means no salsa or marinara for me!  

Iron can be hard to digest or absorb for anyone.  Talk to your doctor about a lower dose or building up a tolerance for it.  Have her eat iron rich foods, preferably mostly non-processed foods.

Yeah I would start by reading the newbie 101 thread and how to clean out the kitchen what to replace, and go to a whole foods only diet to start off.
Quick starting with using Nordicware microwave cook ware so you do not need to replace everything and get the omelette makers, rice cookers, steamers and grill plates with splatter covers. Foil line baking dishes/sheets, and use butcher paper to create easy clean prep surfaces, crock pot liners are great also for this and them.
Diet wise I would say sheet pan meals, soups, stews, omelettes with veggies and meats, veggie stir fry/steamed/roasted, crockpot meals, are all easy go to and stuff like deli meat roll ups, veggie stick (steamed ones to make them easier to diegest), fresh fruit, are nice whole food snacks.

I use liquid health for my supplements like their Energy & Stress for B-vitamins and their D3 drops as both are issues with celiacs,  liquid form so no extra pills, iron I get from pea protein and food sources.
Red #40 used to make me crazy and give other reactions it stuck around for 3 years, but no longer effects me. I still have issues with stuff like asputame potassium, asuflame, peanuts, soy, lactose, allergies to corn, whey etc, etc, etc. But point is some intolerance will go away with time others do not and with this disease we are prone to develop random ones.
