Need Classroom Special Snack Ideas

We need Allergen free idea's

specifically: Gluten free, peanut free, egg free and vegetarian prepackaged items

If there is a easy Gluten free replacement for something I will take those as well

example: Oreo's are peanut, egg and vegetarian but not gluten free, but there are Oreo-like cookies available gluten-free to sub with.

These are for special events so they do not have to be healthy, but not candy like either.

Thanks.

There is a oreo type cookie called k-toos by kinninick. I have to not only have gluten free snacks for my youngest son but they have to be peanut/nut free since there are kids in his class with nut allergies. These are a few things I put in his snack box: Craisens (in individual packages), snack size orville redenbachers microwave popcorn, fruit cups in natural syrup, applesauce cups, betty crocker fruit snacks/fruit roll ups, enjoy life chocolate chip and snickerdoodle cookie packs. Enjoy life also has snack bars. Can you do the chex cereals? I found a cool idea on there for fruit sushi. Here are some likns for some ideas.

I make a batch of Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownies and allow them to cool. Cut into squares and wrap with saran wrap, then with aluminun foil and freeze in large ziploc bags. Each day, I take one out as needed. Already individually wrapped and they defrost by lunchtime....

I am looking for store bought, prepackaged items for an entire classroom.

We can't do Enjoy life, Kinnikinnick, GLutino or specialty gluten-free products ( cost for an entire classroom is pricey) but most other idea's will work, thanks.

Cheese, I was going to suggest fruit and veggie trays (but then I saw the pre-packaged comment). Pretzels? (Subbing with a gluten free pretzel). Fun yogurt cups (probably too expensive depending on class size).

Betty Crocker fruit roll ups and fruit sancks.

Pudding cups - they're gluten free, not sure on the rest

Rice crispie treats with you subbing gluten-free version

What about those little mini bananas? Clementines are in season and are fun to eat. Those kinda come in their own packaging :P I've seen pre-packaged baby carrots, grapes, and apple slices too. Do they make soy string cheese?

I know you want to keep cost down for an entire class, but what I do for my daughter and her dance parties (she is 3) Is I buy a bag of gluten free pretzel twists and rolos. I put the pretzel with a rolo on top and put in the oven for 1 min (350) press the rolo down with another pretzel and you have a quick allergy friendly snack :) My nephew is allergic to eggs and nuts so that is the snack my sil & I prefer because the enjoy life cookies ect are so expensive.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
