My youngest dd seems to have a milk-protien allergy and possible a corn allergy. Any ideas on what I can feed her? She isn't really gluten free, but I don't like to bring gluten into the house. So what can I give her? Please help me! I am running out of ideas.

Thanks,

ptkds

How old is she? I have three kids who are gluten/casein free.....ages 5,3 and 10 months.

Lunch and snacks are the biggest challenges for us, I definately have to get creative sometimes! We do alot of peanut butter b/c it's filling and has alot of protein. We also do alot of fruit, usually apples w/peanut butter and honey. Here are a few other ideas off the top of my head:

Dried fruit, like raisins or cranberries

Hot dogs w/baked beans

Sandwiches w/Kinnikinnick white sandwhich bread

Health Valley Rice Crunch Em's (like rice chex) mixed w/marshmallows and pretzels

Hummus with chips or carrot sticks

Vans gluten free waffles w/peanut butter & honey

Fruit a bu smooshed fruit

Pik Nik potato sticks

Namaste blondies w/dairy free chocolate chips

Pickles

I'm not sure if all of these are corn free as well, but I think most of them are. For lunch, we also do alot of leftovers from dinner. Otherwise, they eat sandwiches, hot dogs, sausage, or diced chicken with a veggie and rice or potatoes.

Hope that helps! I think Gerber wagon wheels are gluten free/casein free, but we haven't tried these yet. They don't look very filling, and I figured my kids would probably devour them in one sitting. I'm all for getting something that is going to fill them up for a while, to help my dollar stretch a bit further. With four kids gluten free, it can get pretty expensive! Good luck.

Hi, my child sounds exactly like yours! Not gluten-free, but I am gluten-free so there is limited gluten in the house. We also have a nut allergy, so no nuts allowed. I try to buy common foods gluten-free like meats, chips, pretzles, butters, cheeses, yogurts - of course all are dairy free too.

Vegan fake dairy products are the way to go. I kept finding problem ingredients in the non-dairy and lactose free things.

Here are her snacks.

fruit cups - loves manderine oranges.

Loves bananas and apples. Hates strawberries :(

Likes raisins.

LOVES CHOCOLATE. I found one in the health store that was gluten-free, dairy/casein free, and nut free. :)

Loves pretzles and chips and tortilla chips

Loves to dip anything!! Ketchup, yogurt, syrup, applesauce.

Loves Boars Head deli meat especially ham.

Loves Hormel Bacon

Loves Hot dogs (Sabrettes I don't know if gluten-free?)

Loves Hamburgers

I buy Publix brand bread - its milk free.

I found a pizza crust , but she hates the vegan cheese.

Cherry Brooke Kitchen chocolate cake mix - gluten-free and Dairy free. And tastes good. The cookies aren't so great.

Pancakes - gluten-free made with water instead of milk.

Tuttifruiti (Sp?) No milk products are great. She loves the ice cream.

MOst meals served at home are gluten-free, dairy free, and nut free.

If you need brand names or more info let me know.

For chocolate I went to a local candy store and they sold blocks of dairy free chocolate. I bought the molds to make it and it was very simple. You just put the chocolate in the microwave for a minute and then pour into the molds. Put in the freezer for 8 minutes and you have chocolate. I made a batch at Easter and the kids are still eating it now so it lasts a while. It wasn't expensive either, I think I spent $12.00 on a pound of choloate and the molds.

One thing that comes to mind is nut/rice/soy milk. Homemade nut milk is easy. The others I've not tried, but I've seen posts from members who have. Should be good in recipes and on gluten-free cereal, with cookies, etc. Basically anywhere cow milk is used, and you can even make your own cheese out of them using rennet or something.

Still, there's plenty dairy-free kid-friendly food, as other posts suggest.

My daughter likes the Namaste pastas and also the Road's End Organics. You do need to check the box on the Road's End because they do sell different kinds.

      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.
