4 year old with PDDNOS just starting gluten free diet

by Lorree
(Houston)

I have a 4 year old with PDDNOS who I just had tested and has a sensitivity to gluten.

I am doing ok with him not eating gluten, we are only on day 4 but I am already running out of ideas of foods for him to eat.

He is SUPER picky. I've tried the gf Amy's mac and cheese and he won't eat it (even tho I thought it was really good!), he wont eat the GF bread.

Any suggestions?

So far all he has been eating is yogurt, fruit, peanut butter, baby carrots, hot dogs, rice noodles (spaghetti and spiral), orange juice and string cheese.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please get your hands on 'Gluten Free Grocery Shoping Guide'. You can find it at
www.ceceliasmarketplace.com. It is pricey (last year's edition cost me $30. with shipping) but it is a GREAT resource. You will be surprised at how many foods that you probably usually buy are GF and you don't even know it. You will refer to it OFTEN.

Some things that come to mind:
All Boars Head deli meats, cheeses and condiments are GF.
Eggs.
Bell & Evans make delicious GF chicken tenders and nuggets (frozen aisle)
Potatoes
rice (good with ketchup if your son prefers)
Chex cereals (rice, corn, chocolate)
I buy brown rice tortillas (frozen at Whole Foods)and make grilled cheese with them (add ham and/or tomato...yummy)
As far as junk food, there's plenty....cheetos, fritos, tostitos, most UTZ brand products are GF, snickers, starburst, reeces p-nut butter cups (original ones), hershey bars....
Tamari makes GF soy sauce!
'Pamelas Products' pancake and baking mix makes DELICIOUS pancakes (my kids are not GF and they prefer them to others -non GF- that I've made).

I have to say again...buy the guide. It's a life (and time)saver.

Hope this helps!

Van's waffles are wonderful in bluberry and apple cinnamon flavors. Look for Good Karma rice ice cream - wonderful foods. Try mashed potatoes with Imperial Butter (GF!). Amy's frozen foods are really good and will say gluten free or no gluten ingredients.

Hope this helps!
