Gf, Dairy And Soy Free Foods For Picky Toddler?

Hi

My 21mnth old ds had b/w and a stool culture and all came back fine but I believe he may at the least be wheat intolerant based on his symptoms after eating wheat

So, I decided to try him gluten-free for a few weeks to see if we notice a difference

Oh, his dad has ever been tested but let's just say he can't eat pasta w/ out living in the bathroom but does fine with everything else and is not uncomfy or does not have any weight issues

So, it's day 4 and things are going well but because my son is also dairy/soy free I feel like he is hardly eating

Anyone have some favs that are dairy, soy, gluten-free?

I picked up some enjoy life rice bread..it was frozen..can anyone tell me how you normally defrost it or how long it is good for on the counter?

Thanks, my toddler is a typical toddler and very picky as far as eating any veggies, but he does well w/ fruits

Is oatmeal a yes/no?

For now he is living on

hamburger/chicken/turkey

some fruit-grapes, watermellon, banana, pears

rice pasta and rice bread

gluten-free cereal-envirokidz, and gluten-free cookies, rice chex

Thanks, Kim

You can make all sorts of things with Chebe, including hot pockes, corn dogs, pizza sticks... Just use rice milk or water and don't add the cheese.

Most of Kinnikinnick's products are soy free and they hace many dairy, casein free products as well. Good luck.

Have you tried potato?? White rice?? My son is dairy, soy, wheat, eggs, beef etc...it does get tricky, he is only 1. He likes sweet potato as well. You can make fries out of them too. All Natural Alexia brand french fries are gluten free as well, they have Yukon Gold julienne fries with sea salt, and some others that have different flavoring in them. It is amazing how much soy is in so many snacks. My son like I said is still young so he isn't into the big kids snacks yet, but I do think that fritos are ok as a junkie type treat, I'm pretty sure soy free. I go to www.peapod.com and I can look at all the items and see what is in them before going to the store so it saves a lot of time standing around in the isle reading labels. What about going to that site www.glutenfreemall.com and you can select the things that he is allergic to and it will tell you the items you can buy or give you ideas anyways.

I also found that Fleishmans' Light Margarine is the only type he can have, it is dairy and soy free.

Rice Krispee treats :D

Good Luck

Thanks for your response

Yup, Zach loves potatoes...I buy him WF brand FF and tator totts..I assume they are ok?

I checked out this site for foods, which was a big help but just looking for some other ideas

Oh and yes Zahc loves krispie treats!

Thanks again, Kim

I see you already enjoylife breads--but I like their cookies and bars too. Also, there is Namaste--they make a slew of baking products--good brownies/blondies. All their products are free from wheat, gluten, corn, soy, potato, dairy or nuts.

Ck them out here: Open Original Shared Link I can buy there mixes in some stores too...

PS-Have you tried alexia fries? They are soo good. I buy them in my healthfood store and Meijer/Marsh grocery. See here: Open Original Shared Link

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.
    • Scott Adams
      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
