My youngest dd seems to have a milk-protien allergy and possible a corn allergy. Any ideas on what I can feed her? She isn't really gluten free, but I don't like to bring gluten into the house. So what can I give her? Please help me! I am running out of ideas.

Thanks,

ptkds

How old is she? I have three kids who are gluten/casein free.....ages 5,3 and 10 months.

Lunch and snacks are the biggest challenges for us, I definately have to get creative sometimes! We do alot of peanut butter b/c it's filling and has alot of protein. We also do alot of fruit, usually apples w/peanut butter and honey. Here are a few other ideas off the top of my head:

Dried fruit, like raisins or cranberries

Hot dogs w/baked beans

Sandwiches w/Kinnikinnick white sandwhich bread

Health Valley Rice Crunch Em's (like rice chex) mixed w/marshmallows and pretzels

Hummus with chips or carrot sticks

Vans gluten free waffles w/peanut butter & honey

Fruit a bu smooshed fruit

Pik Nik potato sticks

Namaste blondies w/dairy free chocolate chips

Pickles

I'm not sure if all of these are corn free as well, but I think most of them are. For lunch, we also do alot of leftovers from dinner. Otherwise, they eat sandwiches, hot dogs, sausage, or diced chicken with a veggie and rice or potatoes.

Hope that helps! I think Gerber wagon wheels are gluten free/casein free, but we haven't tried these yet. They don't look very filling, and I figured my kids would probably devour them in one sitting. I'm all for getting something that is going to fill them up for a while, to help my dollar stretch a bit further. With four kids gluten free, it can get pretty expensive! Good luck.

Hi, my child sounds exactly like yours! Not gluten-free, but I am gluten-free so there is limited gluten in the house. We also have a nut allergy, so no nuts allowed. I try to buy common foods gluten-free like meats, chips, pretzles, butters, cheeses, yogurts - of course all are dairy free too.

Vegan fake dairy products are the way to go. I kept finding problem ingredients in the non-dairy and lactose free things.

Here are her snacks.

fruit cups - loves manderine oranges.

Loves bananas and apples. Hates strawberries :(

Likes raisins.

LOVES CHOCOLATE. I found one in the health store that was gluten-free, dairy/casein free, and nut free. :)

Loves pretzles and chips and tortilla chips

Loves to dip anything!! Ketchup, yogurt, syrup, applesauce.

Loves Boars Head deli meat especially ham.

Loves Hormel Bacon

Loves Hot dogs (Sabrettes I don't know if gluten-free?)

Loves Hamburgers

I buy Publix brand bread - its milk free.

I found a pizza crust , but she hates the vegan cheese.

Cherry Brooke Kitchen chocolate cake mix - gluten-free and Dairy free. And tastes good. The cookies aren't so great.

Pancakes - gluten-free made with water instead of milk.

Tuttifruiti (Sp?) No milk products are great. She loves the ice cream.

MOst meals served at home are gluten-free, dairy free, and nut free.

If you need brand names or more info let me know.

Hi, my son is 6 and newly dairy free. Here is what he has been eating:

Breakfast:

Vann's waffles - original or apple cinnamon

Cocoa Pebbles/fruity pebbles with rice milk

Kinnickinick (sp) pancakes

Any of the Envirokids cereals with rice milk

Lunch:

Ian's chicken nuggest or fish sticks - these are allergen free

Ore Ida fries

Thumann's bologna and ham (I e mailed and they confirmed these are dairy and gluten free)

maccaroni with Earth Balance butter on it

hot dogs and chips or fries

we us ener-g foods light tapioca bread

Dinner:

Any meat without breading

macacaroni and sauce

meatballs made with ener-g foods bread crumbs

instant potatos made with rice milk (betty crockers potato buds are gluten-free and CF)

any vegetables with no sauce

hotdogs

taylor ham

Snacks:

fruit cups

enjoy life cookies and snack bars, all very good

kinnickinick cookies

Food by George brownies

Kinnickinick blueberry muffins

potato chips

For chocolate I went to a local candy store and they sold blocks of dairy free chocolate. I bought the molds to make it and it was very simple. You just put the chocolate in the microwave for a minute and then pour into the molds. Put in the freezer for 8 minutes and you have chocolate. I made a batch at Easter and the kids are still eating it now so it lasts a while. It wasn't expensive either, I think I spent $12.00 on a pound of choloate and the molds.

One thing that comes to mind is nut/rice/soy milk. Homemade nut milk is easy. The others I've not tried, but I've seen posts from members who have. Should be good in recipes and on gluten-free cereal, with cookies, etc. Basically anywhere cow milk is used, and you can even make your own cheese out of them using rennet or something.

Still, there's plenty dairy-free kid-friendly food, as other posts suggest.

My daughter likes the Namaste pastas and also the Road's End Organics. You do need to check the box on the Road's End because they do sell different kinds.

      They've not made that call at this point. They say it looks more like Celiac's than common variable immune deficiency.  They say to get a positive diagnosis another endoscopy is needed after I've been on gluten-free diet awhile.  So, waiting for more input from Docs'.

      Getting rid of the belly bloat

      By cristiana · Posted

      Karen, welcome to the forum. Another thing to add:  Belly bloat can persist if you are lactose intolerant, a situation caused by coeliac disease or it can simply be a stand alone condition.  In the case of coeliac disease, it could be your damaged gut cannot break down lactose efficiently but, in time, once the gut heals, your lactose intolerance and bloating should improve.  You might also find it helpful to stay clear of certain high fibre foods for a while, perhaps keeping a food diary to see if any are causing you to bloat a lot or give you stomach pain.  Lentils and soya were an issue for me in the short term, while I was recovering.  Also, are you taking iron - that can really hurt your belly and in my case it added to the bloating. The other point I wanted to make is has your doctor looked into any other reasons for your belly bloat.? There are a number of other gastric conditions that can result in a bloated belly.  A blood test and an ultrasound to check for possible gynaecological issues could also be something to speak to your GP about. It took me a few months for my bloating to subside, but the journey which involved a few tests along the way to ensure nothing else was was worth it.   Cristiana

      Still unsure.....

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @badastronaut, I reread your last post on your previous thread... "Had some new bloodworks and an echo done because I still have problems with my stomach. According to my latest bloodworks I'm still negative for celiac and still low on zinc (even after supplementing it for quite a long time), I'm low on folic acid now too and my bilirubin is quite high (2,5 and 0,6). My ALT is also slightly elevated. I have been doing a gluten free diet quite strict although I did eat some gluten in the previous weeks.  "Could my blood result be this way because of gluten sensitivity and me being not strict enough? My echo showed no problems with my liver or pancreas. My bile ducts were fine too (although I don't have a gallbladder anymore).  "What to do??? Could this be gluten related?"   Your bilirubin is high.  The liver breaks down bilirubin.  The liver needs Thiamine to break down bilirubin.  Without sufficient Thiamine, bilirubin is not broken down and escapes into the bloodstream. High levels of bilirubin suppress the immune system.  High levels of bilirubin suppress the production of white blood cells, including anti-gluten antibodies.  The suppression of your immune system by high bilirubin could be the explanation for false negative Celiac antibody testing.  Thiamine is needed for antibody production.  Thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on Celiac antibody tests.  If you are not making a lot of antibodies, you won't have much damage to the small intestine.   Your ALT is high.  The liver produces ALT.  When the liver does not have sufficient Thiamine, the liver produces more ALT that escapes into the bloodstream.  Elevated ALT is seen in thiamine deficiency. Your Lipase is high.  Lipase is produced in the liver and pancreas.  More Lipase is released by both in thiamine deficiency. Your gallbladder has been removed.  Gallbladder dysfunction is common in thiamine deficiency. Your Zinc is low.  Zinc absorption is enhanced when Thiamine is present.  Zinc is not absorbed well in thiamine deficiency. Your Folate is low.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the essential nutrients we need for health, the eight B vitamins, including Thiamine, the four fat soluble vitamin, Vitamin C and minerals like Zinc and Magnesium.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three weeks or even as quickly as three days.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can wax and wane depending on how much thiamine is consumed that day.   If a high carbohydrate is eaten regularly, additional Thiamine is needed (500 mg per 1000 calories). Anxiety and depression are symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  The brain just thinking  uses as much thiamine as muscles do when running a marathon.   I have had thiamine deficiency symptoms like you are experiencing.  My doctors did not recognize the symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  They just prescribed pharmaceuticals to cover up the symptoms which only made things worse.  I had a lot of nutritional deficiencies.  I ended up getting a DNA test to check for known genes for Celiac.  I have two Celiac genes.   Have you had a DNA test for Celiac genes?   I took Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing, and a B Complex to correct my deficiencies.   High doses of thiamine need to be taken to correct deficiency.  Talk to your doctor about administering thiamine intravenously.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine is easily excreted in urine if not needed.  Improvement of symptoms should be seen within a few hours to a few days.  No harm in trying.  Process of elimination, etc.   Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Testing for nutritional deficiencies should be done before taking vitamin supplements, otherwise the vitamin supplements already taken will be measured.   I hope this helps you on your journey.
