Gluten Free Toddler Food?

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.

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      @jeffpine, please realize that GliadinX is not designed to allow you to eat large amounts of gluten without celiac repercussions. It is designed to counteract cross contamination situations where you might be exposed to small amounts of gluten accidentally such as you might get in a restaurant when you order something that should be gluten free but it is...

      Eating gluten before blood test

      Welcome to the forum, @Dema! The current recommendations for the "gluten challenge" leading up to the day of testing are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) daily for at least two weeks. I hope this helps you in your decision. This information represents more recently updated guidelines...

      @jeffpine, please realize that GliadinX is not designed to allow you to eat large amounts of gluten without celiac repercussions. It is designed to counteract cross contamination situations where you might be exposed to small amounts of gluten accidentally such as you might get in a restaurant when you order something that should be gluten free but it is cooked on the same grill with stuff that has wheat. Also remember that the absence of noticeable uncomfortable reactions doesn't necessarily equate to no damage happening to the small bowel lining.

      I am actively dealing with a ray of issues, my skin, eyes and digestive even though not eating wheat.Menopuase has activated so much right now, considering its getting worse with my health. I have learned so much thanks to this website.I wasn't properly told of my celiac disease which was confirmed by colonoscopy and endoscopy in 1994 the same year I gave birth to my first son, my tolerance level was horrible. After being diagnosed and staying away from wheat continued problems. My chiropractor at the time in 2007 had my blood work sent off and turns out I have more food allergies. I told my primary of my celiac disease in 2000 and continued to see that doctor up until May if this year 2025 considering my celiac disease was ignored, disregarded and what Im currently going through and been through. I assumed my celiac disease was " registered " at the time in 1994 just as pregnancy and other ailments are reported. I was shocked to learn that its not a mandated reportable disease not documented by the state from hospitals which I for one think it should be considering all the medical gaslighting im dealing with which is causing depression. Im told not worry about other, well I am and its NOT right.It needs to be documented so others don't suffer and go through this nightmare. Im seriously ready to go down to the mayors office and make some noise. Thoughts?
