Snacks For My One Year Old

My DD is one years old and I dont know what to feed her for snacks. I just found out we have Celiacs and I am doing good with the meals at home. But when we go to playdates or the park or to run errands I am having trouble coming up with foods for her to munch on. Snacks at home consist of fruits, yogurts, rice, ect. But I live in Las Vegas so it gets too hot to bring that kind of stuffn out. All the toddler snacks I can find at the store have gluten. Any advice would be awesome! Thanks

What about cereal? My son (who's off gluten, dairy, and corn) can only eat Perky O's and puffed rice, but you should have a lot more options :) Applesauce is a nice alternative to yogurt. Simply fruit (freeze dried) melts in your mouth and doesn't need to be refrigerated. I think Gerber even makes some packages of freeze-dried fruit (althought I've never checked their gluten status). Pea pods are sturdy enough to pack in a bag, but easy enough for a toddler to eat. My son also likes some of the gluten-free crackers like "Mary's Gone Crackers" (made of seeds) and rice crackers. Oh... and rice cakes! Personally, I'd forget about the "toddler snacks" and start cruising the other aisles looking for any kind of snack that might work :P

I don't have a toddler but when we are out and about we bring small insulated lunch bags with small icepacks or frozen juice boxes in them. Gelatin and most flavors pudding cups are gluten-free. You can make fruit juice gelatin with the Knox unflavored gelatin and 100% juice. Costco and Whole Foods sell freeze dried fruit pouches called Brother's All Natural Crisps.

I have a 21 month old daughter who is gluten free. When we are out for the day I usually bring some of the following: bananas, box of raisins, dried blueberries, Stax chips, Gerber makes several toddler snacks that are gluten free like fruit strips, dried apples, and dried strawberries. My daughter still likes Baby Mum Mum crackers. She also likes Glutino cheese flavored crackers and Panda Puffs cereal. Now that Chex cereal has several gluten free varieties I have started bringing along those too. I freeze a juice box overnight and use that as an ice pack to keep string cheese and deli meat cool. By the time we stop to eat the juice box has thawed enough that she can drink it with her food, but it's still slushy enough that she doesn't squeeze it and spill it everywhere!

Hi

I have a 3 year old who started this as a 2 year old......I take along fruit cups, fruit snacks, yogos, cheetos, raisins, marshmellows, (I make my own trail mix with her favorites and keep it in a back). I also take home mae ceral bars (cocoa krispies, fruity pebbles and she loves the new honey nut chex and make like rice krispie treats with butter and marshmellows). I too freeze a juice box and use it to cool things and then she has a drink too!

Thanks everyone! Those are all such obvious ideas but I guess I am just so overwhelmed by this that even the obvious doesnt come to mind right away! Also my friend just told me about a homeopathic medicine that can help Celiacs but she forgot the name anyone know what she might be talking about?

I know that feeling... it's why people ask me, "What CAN you eat?" :blink:

A few months from now you'll have a bunch of new favorites :P There's still plenty to eat... it just takes time to figure it out! You came to the right place for suggestions.

The brand you're trying to think of is Kinnikinnick! They have a lot of gluten free/nut free baked goods that are good for kids, i.e. glazed donuts and waffles.

My 14 month old loves those animal crackers. They come in 3 flavors- vanilla, chocolate and cinnamon. We haven't tried the cinnamon yet, but so far the vanilla and chocolate are pretty good (I eat them myself!). My son also loves raisins. Fruity pebbles are also gluten free so sometimes I'll make a "trail mix" of Fruity pebbles, puffed rice cereal, broken up animal crackers and raisins. He loves it. I've heard there are some marshmallows that are gluten-free. K-toos (I think that's the name anyway) cookies are also pretty good- they're a gluten-free version of Oreos. Arrowroot (once again I think that's the name-I don't currently have any in the house) has some chocolate chip cookies that were decent and I've found them even at Walmart. Maybe even baby carrots depending on if your child is able to handle that yet. I also keep a jar of baby food in the daiper bag since sometimes he gets really hungry unexpectedly. He's obviously past the baby food stage but still loves Beech Nut's apple/banana 3rd stage baby food and a jar of baby food is easy to keep in the daiper bag for emergencies and won't spoil for awhile or get crushed into crumbs over time like crackers.

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.
