Gluten And Dairy Free Kid's Meals?


JWSJ

Recommended Posts

JWSJ Newbie

Are there any restaurants that have gluten and dairy free kid's meals?

We've only had luck with Jason's Deli and Moe's.

(My kids are tired of eating there when we're out.)

I eat gluten-free and CF. I can get meals at Chili's and several other restaurants. It may not be a "kid's meal" but you should be able to find kid friendly fare. My son and I get bunless burger patties, applesauce is sometimes available or canned mandarin oranges, you could bring along a small container of "butter" like Earthbalance spread in a baby tupperware type container and use it on a baked potato, steamed broccoli is always an option. Most places you may end up with a meat and a veg. and not so much carb. Not "fun" but it is a healthy meal. Baked sweet potatoes are often available too. That's what I get at Outback. Chili's coleslaw has been lsited on their dairy-free options page. I've had it and been ok. Many places have corn too. If a carb is not available maybe let the kids have one of those gastly colored slushy beverages instead as a special treat.

PF Changs also has a number of gluten-free menu items that have no dairy or gluten. My son gets the fried rice often and I get the snow peas and shrimp in moogoo gai pan sauce-that one is very mildly flavored and you can change up the veg if you kiddo doesn't like the one that comes with it. I have some veg allergies so I substitute. Yes, you do pay more for the adult menu items but you do get bigger portions and can share or take home and use again for school lunch etc.

BD's Mongolian Grill is also very kid friendly and no dairy. It is stir-fry with rice. You choose the veg. meat and sauce and you pay kids prices for the kids.

I just posted this on this forum and saw this question so I'll post it again! Chick Filet just announced a new gluten-free kids meal this week and if you choose lemonade or apple juice, then it should be dairy free, too.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
