gluten-free Baby Finger Foods?

Hello!

I was dx with Celiac just over 6 months ago now, and I'm very hesitant to give my DD anything with gluten in it. For one thing, it's stressful to have it around the house, and babies aren't exactly tidy - I just know it would be in my mouth and I'll be sick all over again! Anyhow, there are all these companies that make little foods for babies - the puffs from Gerber are the ones that come to mind, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a company that makes products like this that are gluten-free? If not, any suggestions for fun finger foods to start my baby on?

There are some freeze dried fruit bits from Gerber I think that come in packs of strawberries and bannanas and one other combo. They melt in your mouth and are pretty tasty. I've gotten them for myself for snacks. Please double check to see if they are gluten-free, but I'm pretty sure they are. It's been a while since I purchased them.

Pirate Booty, Fruity Booty & Veggie Booty by Robert's American Gourmet Snacks are great food for babies. They are healthy & dissolve in your mouth, making choking impossible. I can't promise they won't be messy, but at least it won't be a gluten mess.

Dora the Explorer cereal is gluten free and look almost like those puff thingy-it's star shaped and very popular at my house. Frozen veggies-mine loved little cubes of frozen veggies and peas, plus they are too small to be chokable. Really any small slcied fruits and veggies were popular here, though not so quick and portable as crunchy cereal.

Rice crunch-ems, and now rice chex (check the box, they are in transition). I fed my kids rice cakes a lot when they were very young. There were babies for many, many years before anyone thought to market finger-food esp for babies. Honestly, i even let them have things like french fries and cheese curls fairly young . . . the folks that make pirate booty make tings, a cheese-free cheese curl i was addicted to before i found out about the rest of my intolerances ...

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      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.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
