Need Help W/ Holiday Recipe For Preschool

I need help finding easy holiday recipes for my 4 year old to use for preschool class. His class likes to cook but I need to send in a gluten free AND dairy free recipe. I would like it to be something cute, easy, and edible that will not take much time since it is a class of 4 year olds with their teacher.

Any ideas would be welcome.

Thank you!

Hmmm...so many things to chose from...

gluten-free crackers and peanut butter.

Apples or applesauce with chopped nuts and cinnamon.

Tapioca pudding (made with water, juice or rice/soy milk), then add fruit/berries.

Blend peanut butter with applesauce to form like a pudding, then add cinnamon/carob/cocoa/etc.

Popcorn balls - held together with peanut butter and carob or cocoa.

These things can be made without sugar too, and nobody will miss it either :)

How about some rice krispie treats made with Erewhon rice cereal? We use the one with the raspberries and blueberries in the cereal.

Mix a package of Kraft marshmellows with three TBSPs of Smart Balance instead of butter over low heat or heat in the microwave. Mix in 6 cups of the cereal and when coated, press the mixture into a 13x9 pan coated with olive oil. I also put melted chocolate chips over the top which my daughter can handle. She loves them.

We took them to a Christmas party this weekend so she could have something to eat and a ton of people asked for the recipe. They were surprised they were so simple. The fruit makes them taste a bit different, but good.

You can also use fruity pebbles for this. Cheaper. Pretty. But lots of sugar!

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
