Need Snack Ideas


Smunkeemom

My friend is running the VBS at my church this summer, and in an effort to make everyone more comfortable she is trying to do snacks everyday that everyone can have.

My girls are gluten free and there are 4 other children who are lactose free.

I figured this would be the best place to come for some ideas. I really think that it's very nice of her to try and make everyone feel comfortable (you know everyone gets the same snack) and to keep my kids from getting sick (from cross contamination)

so if anyone has any great, easy, kid friendly, gluten free, lactose free snack ideas, please post them :D

Of course the obvious...fruit salad, veggies etc...

Other ideas are mixted nuts with raisins, banana pudding made with dairy free milk, popcorn, fruit snacks, lillle smokie sausages, hot dogs sliced up on toothpicks, or meatballs etc.

That is all I can think of now. I am sure others will have some great ideas. Hope this helps.

What about gluten-free "chex mix" made with corn and rice crunch'ems? Or "puppy chow", also made with the crunch'ems.

Apples with peanut butter, celery with peanut butter, veggies with dairy free ranch dip (Nasoya makes a pretty good one - nobody seems to know the difference), corn chips, jello, envirokids bars (the pb flavor is gluten-free, the chocolate flavor has lactose though), bananas, raisins, strawberries, grapes...

Hi there! If your kids like pudding, Kozy Shack puddings are gluten free and clearly marked on the label. Make me feel like I'm getting away with something! In a cute little dish with some M & M's its fun!

I think Ice cream bars or cups are a great VBS snack. We have that anyway, and not b/c of celiac. Marshmallows. popcorn balls. Fruit rollups. Fruit snacks. Fingerjello. Popcicles. I am no expert on lactose intolerance though, sorry if they have it.

OH "rice crispy treats" made with Cocoa pebbles or Fruity pebbles are good too!

Hunt's snack cups ar gluten free too, jello and pudding! My son loves the jello. Even have sugar free for diabetics (my husband). We're just a family of special diets! :)

Not sure how old the kids are... but my kids love little toothpick skewers w/fresh fruit on it (strawberry, grape, melon, pineapple). I also like the safe trail mix idea. Or popsicles.

      Anyone try this? No matter what the brand, probiotics have ALWAYS made me break out bad. I am hesitant to try this simply for that fact, but I ordered a 3 month supply. Any input would be appreciated. Wish me luck.

      @llisa, I am curious to know how much vitamin D you are taking and what is your plasma level in nmol/L or ng/ml what the doctor's target 25(OH)D is. Hopefully with the gluten free diet you'll be able to feel better.
    • trents
      Yes, but if you had been avoiding bread because of the stricture, that might explain the negative result of the previous celiac antibody test.

      Hashimoto diagnosed over 20 years ago after my daughter was diagnosed and told me to get checked due to similar symptoms. Diabetes diagnosed same time. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency this past summer. Celiac last Wednesday. Have been having the digestive issues for a couple of years, several doctors--thought we had it solved with the Creon. Then symptoms got worse. I have a theory about that. I have a stricture in my esophagus that has to be dilated every 6-8 months. When it is tight, I have trouble swallowing. Bread is one of the harder things to swallow, so I avoid it. Had the stricture stretched end of October and started eating bread again. That's about when the diarrhea, bloating, gas, and pain started getting worse. Went in for another upper endoscopy and dilation of stricture last week. (It had been so tight this time, he scheduled a second dilation one month after the first.)  I told him how miserable I'd been, and he did the small intestine biopsy. I know they did the blood test for celiac about a year or more ago trying to find source of my problems,  and it was negative.

      Diabetes and Hashimoto's as well, huh? You are the epitome of the autoimmune cascade effect. That is, once you get one autoimmune condition you tend to develop others. But I am curious. In the sequence of these several autoimmune diagnoses, where did the celiac diagnosis come? You certainly have a lot of health issues to juggle.
