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

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?
    • jenniber
      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
