In making my house gluten free I have to figure out some gluten-free finger foods for my 13 month old.

Cheerios, graham crackers, and Goldfish crackers are no longer options.

Can anybody give me ideas of tasty snacks for a toddler on the go?

I like those suggestions. Another thing my toddler really likes are Nut thins and Glutino breakfast bars. There are also some really good animal cookies. I thi k Envirokidz might make them(?). Plus, Panda Puffs (if you're giving peanut products) and Gorilla Munch or any gluten-free Envirokidz cereal.

I have a 21 month old so I am always looking for gluten-free kid-fun foods. We really like the Chex and EnviroKids cereals. We recently found cute chocolate and vanilla mini cookies that are in the shape of bunnies by Annie's...very similar to a teddy graham. Also, Orgran's makes itty bitty bears that are similar to teddy grahams except they are gluten-free. Annie's fruit snacks are also shaped like bunnies but they seem to be a lot softer than the other brands, much safer for baby to chew. And, I think, Gerber Graduates fruit snacks, lil crunchies, & yogurt melts are gluten-free. Schar's has a cheesy cracker that are in different shapes (circle, triangle, square) and they are really tasty! My son and I also like LaraBars. They are sometimes found with the protein bars in the health section of our grocery store.

We also do alot of naturally gluten free snacks (cheese, yogurt, fruit, veggies w/ hummus as dip)but it is nice to have options that can fit into the diaperbag, not have to be refrigerated, and are fun for the kids. I also have a 7 yr old and he likes having similar snacks that his friends/classmates have (and I don't blame him).

Good luck! And enjoy that baby! :-)

Thanks for all the great ideas! I am excited to give my baby good food and not be so paranoid about him getting full of gluten and then loving me up as only sweet babies can. :)

I think even my older kids will enjoy the food that was mentioned. I'll pass these ideas on to my brother for him to give my gluten-free nephew.

      Products that help to break down potential accidental gluten exposure

      By trents · Posted

      GliadinX is such a product and many/some report it really helps. In the interest of disclosure, the company that produces it is one of our sponsors.

      Products that help to break down potential accidental gluten exposure

      Occasionally eating out in restaurants means that there is potential cross contamination in spite of ordering a gluten free dish. What enzyme supplements can the forum recommend that would help with potential cross contamination? Something I could take before I start eating. I used to order Wheat Rescue from Microbiome lab, but it is not available anymore.

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.

      Newly diagnosed and maybe some type of protein intolerance.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
