Hello! I am looking for kid friendly food ideas for my 3 year old. We are top 8 free plus corn, citrus and bananas. I would LOVE some new ideas for the family! Things that are easy to part out into vegetarian (my husband) and meat eaters is a plus!

Thanks so much!

I know a lot of people really dis enjoy life products, but you can find a lot of things to eat through them. Bread, chocolate chips, chocolate bars, kinda like a trail mix bags of seeds and stuff.

If you can try chick peas, hummus. It is good for an allergy free bread sandwich spread. IMO

There is sunbutter (a sunflower seed replacement for peanut butter)

Remember to concentrate on things you can have! (We went through a whole BACON thing. Made appetizers and such made with bacon , a little went a long way and made you feel full quick. Best recipe was a bacon strip (cut in half or thirds) wrapped around a water chesnut (secured with a toothpick) with a sauce topping made with brown sugar, ketshup, and a little honey. Place aluminum foil on a sheet cake pan, oven temp of about 400 and you have to watch the time yourself because of the different thickness of bacon slices.

Chocolate cake recipe

1 1/1 cups of gluten free flour (Gluten free pantry flour mix)

1 cup sugar

3 Tbl. cocoa

1 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

Mix dry ingredients and add ingredients in order listed

1 cup cold water

6 Tbl. salad oil

1 tsp. vanilla

1 Tb. vinegar

Mix until smooth. Pour into greased 9" square pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

You can double the recipe for a 9 by 13 pan and bake longer. (I never quite get the timing right for a 9 by 13 pan and find it never bakes through the middle without the edges being overdone.)

there are mixes from the cravings place that might work for you too. Cherrybrook Kitchen has some things too.

We used some coconut oil to replace fat in some recipes for butter. To tell you honestly we ended up just buying lard and adding less than what the recipe called for. Not easy to find now days. Doesn't fit in the vegan catagory either, but desperate times.....

Some sorbets don"t have casein. Since a lot of chocolate has soy and casein we did have cotton candy and Dum Dum suckers on hand.

A lot of the gluten free acceptable breakfast cereals were fine with rice milk too.

Thanks Mommida.

Yes, we do the sunbutter stuff and enjoy life as well (why is it dissed?) Cherrybrook Kitchens is a staple too :) Rice milk on cereal is a staple here too.

Love the bacon with water chestnuts! I LOVE those. Why didn't I think of that? Thanks!! I am also looking forward to trying the cake recipe! Do you have a safe vanilla? I hear that can be a gluten pitfall.

Thanks again!

I am a terrible cook, and very new to celiac, so I don't have much in the way of suggestions. I know I use a lot of Bob's red mill products and go to Trader joe's for "Gorilla Munch" cereal. It's gluten free and even marketed to kids! YUM!

I do have info on the vanilla thing: While IN the grocery store, despite seeing a "gluten free" label on McCormicks Vanilla, I called the company. The woman assured me that ALL McCormicks spices etc are gluten free. Needless to say, I now have LOTS of red capped McCormicks spices in my spice rack!

Good luck!

Thanks Mommida.

Another vanilla brand that is gluten free and never had any problems with is Simply Organic. Every now and then Costco is supposed to have a nice gluten free vailla too.

I also kept DariFree powder on hand too. Put in recipes when it seemed like the rice milk was too thin.

See what I mean, you have to focus on what you can have. Pick something you can have, and search recipe sites. You might have to modify recipes, but it can give you a direction to break the "same old-same old".

I was thinking of trying some Morrocan recipes in the near future.

People really dis the Enjoy Life products. People don't realize a good majority of the breads cater to all top 8 allergen free peeps. If you stop to consider what it isn't made of, I'm amazed it's bread!

I also had a great snack recently. Using toothpicks wrap a small piece of bacon around chunks of pineapple and bake at 400 till the bacon is crisp. Soak the toothpicks in water to prevent from burning before using.

I recently found Open Original Shared Link for vegetarians with celiac. Perhaps you can find some ideas on there so you don't have to cook different meals?

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
