Gluten And Dairy Free Kid's Meals?


JWSJ

Recommended Posts

JWSJ Newbie

Are there any restaurants that have gluten and dairy free kid's meals?

We've only had luck with Jason's Deli and Moe's.

(My kids are tired of eating there when we're out.)

I eat gluten-free and CF. I can get meals at Chili's and several other restaurants. It may not be a "kid's meal" but you should be able to find kid friendly fare. My son and I get bunless burger patties, applesauce is sometimes available or canned mandarin oranges, you could bring along a small container of "butter" like Earthbalance spread in a baby tupperware type container and use it on a baked potato, steamed broccoli is always an option. Most places you may end up with a meat and a veg. and not so much carb. Not "fun" but it is a healthy meal. Baked sweet potatoes are often available too. That's what I get at Outback. Chili's coleslaw has been lsited on their dairy-free options page. I've had it and been ok. Many places have corn too. If a carb is not available maybe let the kids have one of those gastly colored slushy beverages instead as a special treat.

PF Changs also has a number of gluten-free menu items that have no dairy or gluten. My son gets the fried rice often and I get the snow peas and shrimp in moogoo gai pan sauce-that one is very mildly flavored and you can change up the veg if you kiddo doesn't like the one that comes with it. I have some veg allergies so I substitute. Yes, you do pay more for the adult menu items but you do get bigger portions and can share or take home and use again for school lunch etc.

BD's Mongolian Grill is also very kid friendly and no dairy. It is stir-fry with rice. You choose the veg. meat and sauce and you pay kids prices for the kids.

I just posted this on this forum and saw this question so I'll post it again! Chick Filet just announced a new gluten-free kids meal this week and if you choose lemonade or apple juice, then it should be dairy free, too.

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.
