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

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
