Pediasure Substitute? Vitamins?

Recommended Posts

Like many toddlers, my son does NOT eat his veggies. I have occasionally subbed with Pediasure and he gets a gummy vitamin every day. We are currently transferring our home to wheat and gluten free. Does anyone have good recommendations for gluten free ways to supplement vitamins and veggies? Are the V8 juices gluten free?

I am gluten intolerant and have been on and off the wheat free/gluten free diet for years. Lately, I've been back on the diet, and have started to see a few of my symptoms in my son. So, I'd like to get him as close to gluten free as possible. He loves the PediaSure "milkshakes" he gets every so often, and loves his gummi vitamins. However, I KNOW that both of these products use gluten as a filler. Any suggestions?

Thanks a bunch!

I'm confused, because according to the Pediasure website and someone I spoke with on the phone, Pediasure does NOT contain gluten. My daugher won't drink straight milk, so we mix it half and half with Pediasure (strawberry) and we have never had any problems.

I use the gummy vites (Says gluten free on bottle), vitamin water (read the lable they have different vitamins per flavor and does seem limited), also I use pasta made with quinoa which is very nutritional. My daughter does eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, but it is still difficult sometimes. I have melted cheese on the brocolli and this has helped. And believe it or not I would put a vegetable on my child's plate (a reasonable portion) and told them if they didn't eat it I would give them more. I got the tip from a friend and it really worked.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
