This is what I started with for allergen free eating.
First I bought Eco Planet Oatmeal in maple brown sugar. This is gluten free, egg free, dairy free and no msg that I am aware of and NOT processed in a cross contaminate facility. (they have other flavor choices plus plain. I would mix some baby veggies into the plain oatmeal for a safe and healthy lunch)
Then I found Ian's Chicken Nuggets at the health food store (here it is called Akins health food store okc)
The chicken nuggest are gluten free (claims the package)
My kid ate them and did not have red cheeks afterward.
I also found some Orgran Veggie Rice Pasta noodles
Egg free, Gmo? free, Yeast Free, wheat free, dairy free.
(I found @ health food store akins also on Amazon.com)
Got some brown rice bread.... yeah... eeew. By EnerG.... it was freakin gross. My kids did not like it at all. So...I would pass on the 6.00 on that loaf.
My kid had a better attitude just from starting our day with the oatmeal and chicken nuggets alone. He was not screaming, itchy, or red. He was clear skinned and calm....
The last 2 days he has been screaming and the usual, but he had a Ritz cracker 2 days in a row... So I am wondering I think I need to stick with the celiac diet... I hope he does not have this disease but the diet seems to be good for him.... We will find out.
Today I found some stuff at the Commissary... military grocery store....which some of these I found are known brands at your local grocery store, most likely.
John morrel Bistro Naturals all beef franks
No nitrates (only from the sea salt) No Gluten, No added Msg.
These are pretty tasty. As usual brings on the heartburn 4 me.
Hormel Natural Choice 100% natural deli meat Ham & turkey
no preservatives, no added msg, Raised with no hormones, no artificial stuff and Gluten Free.
Clissico Spagehtti sauce Fire roasted Tomato and garlic Sauce
Gluten free, all natural, no preservatives, Not sure about msg jar does say spices in ingredients which could mean msg of some sort.
When I was buying mac and cheese (walmart brand) One day it is processed with peanuts the next time I go it is not and the next trip it magically is processed with peanuts again.
So my suggestion to everyone and anyone with a CHILD with SEVERE food allergies, READ EVERY LABEL.
Also do not feel stupid when asking to read a label even at a restaraunt, you will feel worse if you go off someones word and your kid ends up dead.
I asked 2 waiters if cheesecake contained peanuts, I was told no, my kid almost died. I went back and asked again to see the label and spoke to the manager, He read the label in front of me and still said no peanuts. I took the label and read for a while and finally at the bottom it said May contain peanuts. Always read labels and ask if they cross contaminate food at all with the allergen food in question.
Just some extra advice.
