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!

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
