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.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
