Hi folks,

I just became room parent for our classroom and was asked to head up food options for parties. Starting of course this week.

We have an egg allergy, Celiac and strict vegetarian.

I am going to talk to the parents but want to throw in some options as well. And yes I know fruit salad is always an option, but I want treat idea's. :)

Fruits on little sticks are more fun than fruit salad, can add marshmallows or not. I have used cookie cutters (not used for flour based cookies) to cut cheese or deli meat slices slices into shapes for the holiday.

You can find vegan and gluten-free recipes on the internet for cookies and cupcakes. Not sure how good they are.

Home made caramels or toffee (use margarine not butter). Hard candy that is put in molds. melt choc & put in molds if that works for the kids.

Just looking for some clarification . . . our school does not allow home made treats, does yours? or must it be store bought?

Apple slices with carmel dip or carmel apples!

"Trail mix" of marshmallows, M&Ms, raisins, Reese's Pieces, that sort of thing

Crispy rice treats

Vegetarian with or without dairy? If dairy is OK dirt cups made with chocolate pudding, crushed cookies on top with gummy worms coming out of the dirt.

Ours allows home made. But I welcome both.

No peanut allergies?? At our school, peanuts/peanut butter is allowed in the cafeteria but not in any of the classrooms? Am I coming across as a trouble maker yet?? :P

Homemade chex mix with peanuts if you can, otherwise without. You can also make "rice crispy" type treats with rice chex instead of the more expensive gluten-free versions of rice crispies.

Popcorn

Fruit Rollups . . . I use this term generically, some of them are better (more fruit/less sugar-corn syrup) than others.

Nope, no peanut allergies, PB is allowed in this classroom as well as in cafeteria. Can't make gluten-free rice krispie treats as marshmallow contain gelatin (animal product) and we have vegetarian in class.

What about chocolate cupcakes, like a Pamela's mix, with egg replacer? I make vegan cupcake all the time. Most of the time they rise fine, but if they don't, I cover with frosting anyway ;)

I'm doing this for my dd's gymnastics class:

Chocolate cupcakes

M&M's

White buttercream frosting

Put frosting in a pastry bag with a flat decorating tip (like for ribbons)

Pipe a thin line of frosting across the top 3rd of the cupcake

Put 2 M&M's on that frosting for mummy eyes

Pipe strips of frosting over the cupcake in multiple directions(gently covering the tops and bottoms of the M&M's)

The cutest little mummy faces!!

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.
