Getting Started Gluten-Free

It is very overwhelming to think about revamping your whole diet. Even worse, revamping your child's diet. Kids are usually picky eaters and hard enough to feed without food restrictions. Some tips I have to a parent who is going to try feeding their child Gluten-Free....

Things that your child may eat that are already Gluten-Free:
-Cheese
-Milk
-Yogurt & Yogurt Drinks
-Fruit & Veggies
-Dried Fruit
-Raisons
-Rice
-Beans
-Edamame
-Nuts
-Eggs
-Squeezables (apple sauce, fruit & veggie blends)
-Plain French Fries (Ore Ida is my favorite)
-Popcorn
-Tortilla Chips
-Popchips
-Corn Tortillas
-Meat

Brands that have Gluten-Free replacements:
-Vans Ancient Grains Frozen Waffles
-Nature's Path Gluten-Free Waffles
-Many Cereals (Corn & Rice Chex, GF Rice Krispies, Nature's Path)
-Udi's Frozen Pizza, bagels, and breads
-Apple Gate GF Chicken Nuggets
-Bisquick GF Pancake Mix
-Red Mill GF Oatmeal
-Glutenfreeda Instant Oatmeal
-CherryBrook Farms Kitchen GF Baking Mixes
-Glutino makes almost everything
-Enjoy Life makes many snacks, cookies, and trail mixes
-Lucy's Cookies & Brownies
-Snyders of Hanover GF Pretzels
-King Arthur All-Purpose Flour
-Jovial Pasta
-Ancient Harvest Quinoa Pasta

Things that have gluten (but you may not know) so Do Not eat:
-Soy Sauce
-Barley
-Rye
-Imitation Crab
-Oats that are not labeled GF
-Many seasoning packets
-Many sauces and dressings, always look

Good luck getting started. Remember, give it 3-4 weeks before you start seeing real changes. It takes your body a while to cleanse and heal. And also remember, if you are going to try this give it a fair shot and don't cheat.
