Hi, my mom happens to work for a daycare center that's food services are funded by the state (they are a non profit organization). They just received a pre school aged boy to the program who happens to be allergic to wheat, milk, egg, and several other things. The state says that since the school supplies meals they need to try to meet the child's dietary needs before asking the mother to supply food. This is in an inner city, low income area. Here is my question: does anyone know of any food suppliers that make wheat free, dairy free, and egg free products? I am only familiar with gluten free foods as that is all my son needs but the egg and the dairy is really throwing us off. Maybe someone might even know of some good recipe books for this type of diet. Any ideas would be helpful.

No, no help from me. But it comes to reason that perhaps the mother should be helpful her. Perhaps a diologue with the Mother could be a good source.

When I travel, I have gotten used to a crisp banana, with a scoop of Jiffy Peanutbutter. with tatter totts.(for the young one, fruit, protien, starch)

A mega meeger two cents. :(

It's probably best to keep it simple but here's a recipe Open Original Shared Link that has special diets in mind.

"Special Diet Solutions: Healthy Cooking w/o Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Yeast or Refined Sugar" by Carol Fenster was a good book (in a series, I believe). Let's you pick and choose what to leave in/out and gives good substitution suggestions.

"The Kid Friendly Food Allergy Cookbook: 150 recipes, Wheat Free, Gluten Free, Nut Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free, and Low in Sugar" by Leslie Hammond

Thanks for the help. I know common sense would say ask the mother but sadly enough sometimes people are not educated enought in the needs of their own children. In the same school there was a mom who told them that her son could not have bread or pasta but could eat pizza. If you can't eat bread or pasta, how could you eat pizza. She just wasn't educated enough in it. Thanks again.

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
