What To Feed A gluten-free Toddler?

My 17month old is gluten free. Up until now chex cereal and homemade "graham" crackers have been snacks. But she is starting to not want those anymore. What can I feed her as snacks? She just now has 2 molars coming in, so I have to be able to cut things up for her. We also have a business and her afternoon snack is often "on the run." Thanks for any thoughts.

My daughter's favorite food at that age was canned green beans.

There are gluten-free style cheerios, and Kix cereals are safe. There is a gluten-free graham craker called Smoreables maybe those will work.

What about dehydrated fruit chips . There are some that are soft and crisp but not sharp or brittle, I can't remember the brand but they have Disney characters on them.

Pirates booty has different things, crunchy cheese stix, potato flyers etc..

Frozen gogurts.

You can make your own Larabars with dates and whatever else you like ie grated carrots, pineapple etc... then roll into shape that's manageable for your toddler.

My daughter is only 10months, but she gets mostly the same stuff we do. (We don't cut everything into small pieces though, just some things.) Lots of fruit are fine (ripe pear and banana don't need to be cut up, if you're comfortable with it, but I do cut up even ripe mango) and veggies roasted are great. While we tend to eat at home, I plan on doing the same thing for her that I do for myself - pack a cooler bag if we go out, so she can still have lentil soup and hummus and chicken and all the rest of the stuff we usually have. (Lunch tends to be leftovers. ;) )

I can't remember what age we started giving these to my son but this is what comes to my mind - small bits of watermelon, tangerine slices, squished blueberries, broken up waffle, rice cakes, envirokids cereals, and muffins that I doctored up the mix.

My 19 month old enjoys lots of fruits, applesauce (even good with pb in it if she's ok with nuts); snyder's gluten free pretzels are great and can be dipped in hummus, pb, cream chease; raisins, prunes. I'm still trying to vary our snack choices, snacks are so much harder to me than meals.

      Sorry for the long post. I’m 18, and I was diagnosed with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes (T1D). My transglutaminase IgA was >128 U/mL, EMA IgA positive twice, and I’m HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 positive. I’ve been completely asymptomatic since diagnosis, even when I cheated with gluten sometimes in the past and used to eat out(2-5 years ago) I don’t get the typical celiac reactions, which makes it really hard to know when (or if) I’ve been glutened. But for the past year, I’ve been the most strict with my diet, and that’s also when a bunch of new issues started. I eat completely glutenfree, never eat out, dont eat food that says „may contain gluten“.   Current Health...

      I've been making a lot of black bean brownies lately because it's one of the few gluten free dessert recipes that actually tastes palatable.  I've also seen chocolate cake recipes with black beans.  Someone mentioned a cookie recipe using lentils in place of flour.  Just wondering if anyone's run across any tried and true recipes using beans, lentils or peas for desserts?  I've seen a lot of recipes for garbanzo flour but I'm allergic to garbanzo beans/chickpeas.  Was wondering if adzuki or pinto beans might be useful in replacing some or all of the flour in baking.  Since gluten free flours can be crumbly was hoping the beans might help produce a better, less crumbly consistency.  Any...

      I've seen a lot of recipes for chia pudding, so I decided to make some with chia, water, cocoa and honey.  Didn't like the taste, so I added ground sunflower and ground pumpkin seed to it.  It tasted okay, but came out more like frosting that pudding.  I used to make pudding with tapioca starch, milk powder, water and sugar.  It came out very good but I haven't figured out what to use to replace the milk powder to make it dairy free.  Most starches will work in place of tapioca starch but quantity varies depending on the type of starch.  If I didn't add enough starch to get a pudding consistency, I'd add gelatin as well to fix it.  Avocado and cocoa makes a good dessert with a pudding like...

      Seems like when I find a gluten free product I like, the producer stops manufacturing it and then I have trouble finding a new gluten free source for it.  What's worse, I've been contacting companies to ask if their products are gluten free and they don't even bother to respond.  So, it's making it very hard to find safe replacements.  I was buying teff flour at nuts.com and they no longer carry it.  I noticed Naturevibe has teff and soy flour.  However, I can't get a response as to whether their flours are safe for someone with celiac.  Can't get a response from Aldi if their peas are safe for someone with celiac either.  I know Bob's Red Mill has teff flour but was hoping to get a large quantity. ...
