    Sorry I cant help you too much, but dont give her corn pops, if you want cereals try Cocoa pebbles, or Dora, or mickey cereals. If you want to start easy for me Walmart worked since a lot of their Great value Brand say when they are gluten free on the label. (ham, cheese, olives, pickles, rice, lentils, cheese puffs, bacon, chicken, sour cream, tomatoe...
