Food Allergies Treatment

Question by Ella: Celiac and Dairy Allergy cooking for kids? Help please!?
Next week a friend of mine and her family are coming to stay for the weekend. This is great as her kids and mine get on great – the only problem is the cooking. Each of her three kids has an allergy to food – whereas mine have none!
Six year old – is a celiac (wheat and gluten)
Four Year Old and Two Year Old – Dairy Products.

Could you please give me some meal ideas that I could cook for all kids, I don’t want to cook two meals for them.

Thank you any ideas will be great Lunch, Snacks or Dinner.
I have found potato based foods work well. So mash, boiled potatos etc. I make pies with Mash on top rather than pastry. If your child won’t eat meat try potato and lentil pie.
I have found many stores off specialist pastas some are good. So therefore lasagnas etc can be made!
I am really stuck with the dairy problem tough especially puddings.

Question by BroCade Marc came 11/1/10: Please help, I cannot find a Dog food that doesn’t effect my lab mix?
He is losing a ton of fur and has nasty red spots all over his tummy. We went through this last summer and got him on expensive pills to clear it up. We cannot afford to take him for another almost 0.00 vet visit this year.

I have him on a lamb and rice dog food that is supposed to be “awesome” for dogs’ with food allergies. NO wheat, corn, beef, chicken ect.

Can someone please recommend a food? Thank you.

You will probably end up cooking food for him.

Seriously, it might well be a preservative or some other additive common to most dog foods. You might go through dozens of different kinds of food before you find one he can tolerate.

You can cook it up in big batches and freeze it. Doesn’t have to be fancy or even expensive.

Question by Bruce & Kelly: Toddler son is allergic to milk,soy, and grape products PLEASE HELP!!!!!?
Son went to a endocrine diabetic specialist because of restricted weight gain. Doctor asked to put him on pediasure twice a day with his normal diet and nutramigen. He was on nutramigen because of milk allergies but, the specialist thought it was perfect timing to introduce it back to him and see how well he does. Very bad results on this behalf therefore, we had to go back to the doctor. They decided to do some allergy tests and the results showed he is allergic to milk and soy products. He is also allergic to grapes, raisins, grave flavoring etc. (as we found that out the hard way in the ER).

My problem is I have to read very closely to labels and almost everything has soy in it. I did get some almond milk, and managed to find some toddler meal stuff that was milk/soy free but does anyone have more examples. I hate going to the grocery store and holding everyone up while I look at every ingredient because i HAVE too.

Also, what can I use as a butter substitute in mashed potatoes. I have the unsweetened almonds milk as a replacement for cooking but any ideas for butter? Bread seems to have soy in every brand of it as well any ideas on this route? Please help I am so lost….I would like to be able to make meals for my entire family of 6 rather than make him eat something completely different. It upsets him when he can’t have what we have because, he does not understand!!!!

Thanks in advance…

I know how you feel. I have 30 pages worth of Food Allergies. Here are a great website to help you out.

Just ignore the part about the dairy. The dairy is easier, try using products that contain Almond/Rice Milk, and there are also alot of products that don’t contain soy or dairy at all. You just have to read the back of the packages. I know it’s annoying. I have to stand there and read it myself. It’s hard when your a toddler, It’s just something he has to get used to, otherwise don’t eat what HE can’t eat in front of him.

Gluten and Wheat and Yeast Free Flat Bread:

2 eggs (large or jumbo)
1 cup soda water (plain or unsweetened fruit flavor is fine)
1 cup nut flour (grated nuts)
pinch of salt
1/2 cup milk
2 cups soy flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespons melted butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Line the bottom of a jelly roll pan with parchment paper, and then brush thesides with melted butter.

Combine dry ingredients.

In large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, soda water, and 1 Tablespoon butter. (Reserve the rest of the melted butter.) Add this to the dry ingredients. This will make a gooey, but not glutenous mass.

Using a rubber or latex spatula or bowl scraper, turn the dough into the jellyroll pan and spread it out evenly all around.

Put it on the middle oven rack, and bake for 5 – 7 minutes (at which point the top will have formed a thin crust, but it won’t brown). Remove from oven, and brush the thin crust (carefully) with the remaining melted butter. Then, return the pan to the oven.

Bake for another 5 to 7 minutes until the top is just golden and a wooden toothpick inserted into the bread comes out clean (no dough sticks to it).

Cool on a wire rack.

Once cool, cut your bread into sandwich-sized pieces or any other size you’d like. Stores well in a plastic bag in your fridge for up to a week.

Are you allergic to peanuts? If not, you can eat one of my boys’ favorite breakfasts. I call it peanut butter rice. Cook some rice, then add peanut butter and brown sugar. It is good.
I suppose you could also eat oatmeal.
How about sausage and hash browns?
