My daughter was diagnosed with Celiac two years ago. :o We have tried a few products, but she is very picky. I am leary to purchase several brands and they go to waste. Several things we have purchased her response is YUCK! I need help. She beginning to lose weight because all she will eat is some fruit, vegetable and meat. She needs good gluten-free carbs. Help Please.... :(

How about mashed potatoes? Sweet potatoes? Rice? gluten-free hot cereal?

Namaste has good baking mixes.

Van's gluten-free frozen waffles with syrup.

Bob's Red Mill brownies

Cause Your Special Mixes (all that I've tried are really good)

Glutino Cinnamon Raisin Bread

www.glutenchallenge.com has some good ideas for kids

Kids seem to like Wellshire Farms chicken nuggets and Ian's frozen meals (the tv dinner-type ones with fish sticks, gluten-free brownies etc).

gluten-free pancakes

Run a search for "gluten-free" on recipezaar and do some baking :)

Sorry, those aren't the healthiest suggestions, but oh well B)

I am thinking like the others, rice and potato products as well as corn and legumes.

Have you tried the rice pastas?

Kids love the Cascadian Farms Spud Puppies (like tator tots).

Alexia Jullienne fries are an option too.

You can make your own oven fries by just cutting potatoes in strips, tossing with a little olive oil and salt, and then baking them until tender and brown.

Bobs Red Mill has a corn bread mix, and there's popcorn, corn chips, and corn tortillas to use in casseroles.

Refried beans or plain canned beans, or make your own fresh, frozen peas and corn, corn on the cob, winter squashes, sweet potatoes are other healthy sources of good carbs.

If she likes hot cereal Erewhon has a cream of rice cereal that is super easy to mix up in the morning. I stir in a little almond butter and top with sliced bananas and berries but you could add in whatever she likes, yogurt, fruit, etc.

I found this link too that might give you some ideas:

      Hello there! New to celiac community, although I have lots of family in it.  My two year old was just diagnosed with celiac disease based on symptoms and bloodwork.  symptoms (swollen belly, stomach hurting, gagging all the time, regular small vomit, fatigue, irritability, bum hurting, etc) she got tests at 18 months and her bloodwork was normal. She just got tested again at 2 1/2  because her symptoms were getting worse and these were her results :   Tissue Transglutaminase Ab, IgA 58.8 Unit/mL (High) Endomysial Antibody IgA Titer 1:5 titer (Abnormal)   Gliadin Antibody IgA < 1.0 Unit/mL Gliadin Antibody IgG 8.5 Unit/mL Immunoglobulin A 66 mg/dL Her regular pediatrician diagnosed her with celiac and told us to put her on the strict gluten free diet and that we wouldn’t do an endoscopy since it was so positive and she is so little (26lbs and two years old). I’m honestly happy with this decision, but my family is saying I should push and get an endoscopy for her. It just seems unnecessary and an endoscopy has its own risks that make me nervous. I’m certain she has celiac especially with it running in mine and my husbands family. We are now thinking of testing ourselves and our 5 year old as well.  anyways what would y’all recommend though? Should we ask for an endoscopy and a GI referral? (We are moving soon in 5 months so I think that’s part of why she didn’t refer us to GI)

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
