It might be worth while before hand to go to the doctors and get a blood test done to see if you don’t have coeliac disease. However, to answer your question a lot of the big supermarkets do free from ranges so you can still eat pasta and breads. You can also still eat potatoes, rice which will help you maintain your weight . The obvious thing you could also do increase you calories intake. The main thing is if you want to maintain your weight don’t eliminate all carbs you have to substitute with the free from ranges or other wheat free carbs. If you want to go and have a blood test then you have to keep on eating wheat. Hopes this helps .

No most of the diseases that will keep them out is an STD. That shouldn’t be a problem.

Question by momsapplepeye: What is going on with allergies? My kids can’t bring food to school now?
First it was peanuts,then sea food,then eggs,then milk,then wheat,there are so many banned foods at my kids school I am at my whits end at what to put in their lunches.If it is good for you it is most likely banned there. Maybe it is time there were schools that were exculsively for allergy afflicted kids. That would make it safer for them and more compassionate to those fortunate not to have allergies. I have family with peanut sensitivities so I am very understanding but there has to be a better way. I am not rich I can’t buy fancy nut free,gluten free what evers. Anyone have the same difficulties?
grades jk through 8
I am involved with this and intend to become more so. I have no answer I can only say it had been very hard to make a lunch aceptable to my kids and the school. They can’t have just fruit for lunch and I feel it is only a matter of time before that is excluded. We live almost 2 miles from school so going home is out too. I am thinking the school could make their lunches and I wish them luck getting my kids to eat it.
PATRICIA G F thank you for your comment, the school has sent a list of foods but that has not helped. In shipping kids with allergies to a safer place is not mean’t to make them feel different. I am at a loss and my kids feel excluded. I have a grandson with a severe peanut allergy and his mom agrees. At my grandaughters school no perfume is allowed or deoderant this is crazy. I agree the reasons behind this plague must be investigated asap. That had alway been my opinion I am on a very limited budget which is much smaller with the expense of it all. They can’t bring a birthday cake and that reason is not just allergies but because it might offend someone who does not celebrate it. I just want to give my kids a healthy lunch that won’t come back. Maybe home schooling is the only choice for non allergy sufferers? that will certainly make my kids feel different too. If my frustration is showing forgive me but this bad foods list has me in shock.
Being the written word sometimes things get misunderstood. I don’t like looking as if I am against kids with allergies that is not what I am getting at that is insulting. My grandson has this as well and he needs to be protected in a more reliable way.We have loads of compassion I have taught my kids well but this is way beyond reason and boardering on the rediculous. And each school has their own rules which makes it even more dangerous. Maybe the schools will have to supply the lunches? I am looking for input from all who have experienced this maybe we can come up with some compassionate resolutions that include everyone involved. I just want to give my kids the best I can on a very limited budget that is all.

At least you can still do fruits right? Apples, oranges, grapes are all good snacks, vegetables too would be good snacks or foods for their lunches. Lunch is probably harder to think of. Is this a school for younger kids (like kindergarden)?

Juices would be good drinks that would provide good sources of nutrition (apple juice, orange juice, raspberry juice, etc). Surely there are alternative foods for lunches? Maybe turkey or chicken, or those quick cook rice. There should be plenty of alternatives for your kids to have a safe and healthy (and hopefully tasty) lunch.

You don’t leave much to work with…
Chicken and mashed potatoes would be a good idea. You can buy ready-to-cook potato puree and chicken breasts fillets – they need the least time to cook.
Another good idea now that winter is ante portas, would be some kind of soup. I would suggest chickpeas soup (you need chickpeas, onion, salt and pepper and some olive oil) or lentice soup (again the same ingredients, but also include 1-2 laurel leafs and some vinegar). They both need about half an hour to make.
