Hi

My son started preschool and his classroom is nut free. I am having trouble thinking of some gluten free/nut free snack ideas besides fresh fruit and cheese. Any ideas for products that do not contain both?

thanks

Cali

How about gluten-free pretzels. I like the Wylde ones, they are also soy free but there are others available. Ener-g makes some and Glutino. I like to make my own 'trail mix' with raisens, pretzels, Rice Chex, and gluten-free chocolate chips.

Can you make sugar snacks? If so, Chex or Cocoa Pebbles make great "rice crispy treats." Maybe try celery w/cream cheese and raisins on top (ants on a log) - might be messy, or just little raisin boxes. Cut-up apples with one wrapped carmel each. Individual baggies of chips or corn chips w/cubbed cheese. I love popcorn/carmel corn/popcorn balls. Maybe mini-rice cakes with jelly and creamcheese (sandwich). Sandwich meat cut and rolled around a pickle (like at a party). Can't forget the easy Enjoy Life cookies and other goodies. I am allergic to nuts and celiac. It ain't easy!

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
