GlutenFreeinPanama

Recommended Posts

GlutenFreeinPanama Newbie

My 2 year old son is 2 months into gluten-free diet after his diagnosis. We live in panama and our ability to buy gluten-free products is extremely limited. Gorilla Crunch cereal...that's it! He is a very, very picky eater and is starting to show boredom with his G. crunch cereal. I do not have access to various flours to make pancakes, waffles or bread...so help! He will eat scrambled eggs..he is also off dairy. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Mom used to give me hash browns or Tater Tots with eggs or sausage.

What about cut up banana or other soft fruits? Breakfast doesn't have to be "breakfasty" foods either. What do you feed him the rest of the day? Anything you would give him for a snack or lunch or dinner you can give him for breakfast too.

Yeah we generally do fruits, cereal, and yogurt (obviously you can't do that one). But like someone else said I wouldn't limit to just "breakfast" foods. I'm not above rice & beans for breakfast. Does he like sausage or bacon? Spanish tortillas, frittatas, and omelets are great for breakfast AND dinner. Can he have any nut butters? If so maybe try some peanut butter or almond butter on apple slices.

We eat corn chex, rice chex, cinnamon chex, honey nut chex, bobs red mill mighty tasty hot cereal (order on amazon), maple groves farms pancakes and waffles (order mix on amazon), white rice ground up to make cream of rice cereal, brown rice cooked and served warm with raisins, nuts, cinnamon, and soy milk, fruit bowls, chicks in a basket (cut a circle out of a piece of gluten free bread and fry an egg in the middle of it), bacon, sausage, ham, scrambled eggs with veggies and cheese, corn tortillas with scrambled eggs and cheese, omelettes, no one wants the same breakfast every day for 2 months! :)

The Chex cereals are really popular here too, as is Gorilla Munch, Leapin' Lemurs and Panda Puffs. If you can't get the pancake mixes locally, have you tried ordering online? Amazon has a huge selection of mixes and flours, and if you sign up for regular deliveries, you can save addition $ on top of their already decent prices. I also signed up for prime membership with Amazon because I get so much from them and that gets me free two-day shipping.

Arepas? Do they have those in panama? I like them with a side of black beans. Corn tortillas with cheese are pretty good too, once he can do dairy. Indian pudding (corn meal-based) or any sort of custard works too, and you could make with whatever faux milk you are already using.

Any sort of pilaf is good. Can you get quinoa? Hominy is another option. Add an egg or some leftover meat. Or just add sweet spices like cinnamon with dried fruit and nuts for a more sweet breakfast.

Sandwich of cold cuts and cheese buttered outside and fried on pan.

Oatmeal (make sure it's a gluten free variety)

Muffins.

Banana nut bread

Crackers and cheese

Cheese strings and cold cuts

Fish sticks and home fries (yes for breakfast)

Some ideas to try.

Pamela's gluten-free Pancake mix is good and my teenage daughters love it. They add tiny hershey choc. chips when making them.

We usually do fruit and a protein for breakfast. My kids eat dairy so often it's cheese in some form (cottage or cubes) or yogurt, but we also do bacon, ham or organic hot dogs. My kids blow through cold cereal like it's water so we don't buy it much. lol

Most gluten-free pancake mixes can be purchased on (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned). I enjoy Bob's Red Mill, but I haven't tried the more expensive brands.

My little guy can't eat eggs but hubby often makes eggs for himself and older DS, and they usually have grapes or oranges alongside. Scrambled eggs with potatoes (we usually use frozen tator tots or french fries and cut them up in the pan as they cook - oreida is gluten-free) and a bit of ham, plus some spinach makes a great nutritious meal.

I've also had quinoa with a bit of honey for breakfast. Not quite the same as oatmeal but pretty good.

      @Dora77, You shouldn't worry about getting glutened through your skin.  You would have to touch a gluten infested doorknob and then put your hand in your mouth.   I'd be more concerned with your mom's heating up gluten bread in the oven and boiling gluten noodles.  These methods cause particles of gluten to become airborne which would then enter your nose and be swallowed, going into your digestive tract.  I have to avoid the bakery aisle at the grocery store for this reason.  An M95 mask helps. If you get nutritional deficiencies corrected, your immune system will calm down and be less reactive to gluten expose.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.  Thiamine and Niacin help make digestive enzymes which would help digest any accidental gluten exposure.  Thiamine helps Mast cells not to release histamine, an inflammatory agent released as part of the reaction to gluten, and also a neurotransmitter that causes alertness and anxiety, and the flight or fight response.  Pyridoxine will help improve the OCD.  Remember your brain is part of the body.  Vitamin deficiencies affect your brain and mental health as well as the rest of your body.

      I do not have evidence other than anecdotal but I am certain when I have gotten these it's the result of eating gluten (back when I did).  I don't get them now that I don't eat gluten.

      What really bothers me is if worrying about getting cc‘d from touching the same door knob as others touched is valid. Seems like an extremely unlikely way to get glutened but i read people saying that.    If thats true then theres realistically zero chance i dont get cc‘d in a non gluten-free household unless i Cook Everything myself and wash my hands multiple times in between and store all of my stuff separately

      Welcome to the forum, @Mrs. Cedrone! Among the various causes for canker sores, are "Nutritional problems like too little vitamin B12, zinc, folic acid, or iron" https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/canker-sores Could you be deficient on something?
    • Mrs. Cedrone
      I have been a diagnosed Celiac for over 30 years.  If I even get any type of cross contamination I end up in the hospital.  Recently I have been getting "cankers".  I am assuming that this is a result from something I am eating.  any insight would be greatly appreciated.  I follow an extremely strike diet as result and this is something new that has popped up.  I still get very ache sometimes and fatigued.  Thank you.
