Valentine Party Ideas

Hi everyone,

I was hoping I could get some recipes or tips for my 3yr old. Her daycare is having a V-Day party and serving ice cream and pizza. She can't have dairy, tomato, or wheat (gluten). Any ideas of what I could take for her to enjoy. I think they have a microwave if she needs something heated.

Thanks for any ideas.

Heather

I think in this case, you should stick with something that you know is safe for her, that you know is one of her favorites... what is one of her foods that she gets all excited about having? Then make that for her valentines treat...

maybe make her a variation of a pizza with whatever she can have... like some fruit and or veggies on a safe crust with whatever sauce is safe for her. I don't know much about cooking dairy free and tomato free as well, so I'm kinda stumped.

I don't know if she likes ham and pineapple, but that might be a fun pizza topping... I also don't know what other kind of sauces or stuff might be ok... get creative!

do you have cookie recipes that she can have? maybe some gluten-free sherbert? (is there such a thing?) or Philly Swirl Italian Ice cups, those are great!

Namaste foods makes dairy/gluten free mixes (they are also free of other common allergens). We make the chocolate cake mix as cupcakes and sprinkle with powdered sugar (if desired, they are plenty yummy without). There is also a vanilla cake mix. (We just prefer the choc.) We buy little plastic cupcake toppers from craft stores that sell cake decorating supplies. I keep a supply on hand. Little plastic hearts on sticks for valentines, etc. EnjoyLife foods makes allergen free cookies. We use the choc. chip a lot. They are just the right size for little hands. The best thing about these two choices is that they are accepted and cheered by my children's friends. No problems yet with them not tasting like the "real" thing. I also checked Life Savers Lollipops for gluten and peanut contamination. I didn't check it for dairy, but it is probably okay- just check it out. These are a candy that can be passed out with valentines - a big cheer went up when we figured this one out. My son's peanut allergy is hard with candy - apparantly all candy is processed with peanuts! I hope this helps. It is so hard to explain to little ones that they can't have the yummy-looking stuff the other kids are eating. It sure does help to have yummy treats of your own!

Heather,

My dd is gluten-free, CF, & TF as well. I make her individual pizzas that I load up with veggies. I've made a "fake" tomato sauce by roasting red peppers. I just puree the roasted peppers with salt and olive oil. I then spread it on the crust before I bake it. I've also done a "fake pesto" using basil, onion/garlic, sea salt, pepper and olive oil. I spread the pesto on the crust just like I would the tomato sauce. We use peppers, onions, hamburger, mushrooms etc. to top the pizza and we don't even miss the cheese now.

Please double check, I can't get the Rice Dream website up right now!!! We like to use Rice Dream, Vanilla Ice Cream in place of regular ice cream. The last time I checked Rice Dream Vanilla Ice Cream IS gluten free. However, the Rice Dream Drink contains barley and IS NOT gluten free. My dd is soy free as well but she likes Rice Dream ice cream.

Hope your dd has a great time!

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
