Snacks (non dairy, egg, wheat, rice)

Hi i'm interested in this too. as well as non soy.

Have you tried the "orgran" range int he supermarket, ours is by the gluten free food.

"All Orgran products are Gluten Free, Wheat Free, Dairy Free, Egg free, Yeast Free, GMO Free and Vegan."

hmmm they may have rice tho sorry. worth a try tho, they may have something you/your little one can eat.

orgran

Cheers, ill search all that. Its a tricky business, the only one that has shown as an actual allergy is egg - yet DD comes up with head to foot rashes, weepy excema and allergic reaction spots with the others - the rice bit being baby rice (i cant see anythign else in it that would be the issue)

We're currently waiting on results from hair strand testing to see if that helps.

Bri and Olis mum: what supermarket do you go to?

Which baby rice did you try? Maybe test again but grind up & cook the rice yourself? Then you know it's go no extras in it.

Freaken severe intolerances are so frustrating. Allergy is so much easier to diagnose.

Orgran products tend to be rice or corn based. Check the labels on corn thins - corn is out for us (so I'm not sure), but I have a feeling that these are GF and rice free.

The hospital gave us a small list of recipes which are GF, egg free, milk free, nut free, soy free, corn free and rice free.   I haven't tried any yet, as my 18month old DD still can't tolerate any food. For a 7 month old you might want to try:

Pikelets
1 cup flour combination buckwheat, chick pea, ground millet and pea flour.
1 1/2 tsps GF baking powder
2 tablespoons olivani, melted
50ml neocate
150ml lemonade (personally I would use soda water and sugar or juice)

Mix flour and baking powder in a bowl.
Add melted margarine, neocate and lemonade and stir until mixed.
Cook as you would normally.

Vanilla and Peach Quinoa Pudding
60g quinoa grain
40ml apple juice
75ml water
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1/4 can peaches, drained of syrup

In a pot, bring the first 4 ingredients to the boil together, turn down the heat to low and simmer for 7 minutes, or until the grain has split and is soft.
Add the peaches, stir through and enjoy as a dessert or for breakfast.

Failing that, I made some biscuits from sugar, coconut oil and buckwheat. They tasted ok, but unfortunately my DD still could not tolerate them, sigh!

M the jelly is freaking aweful! I've never had success with any baking using neocate.

Interesting that the specialist said Kumera, potato is usually better tolerated.

Mum_me, that must be so frustrating. We've got a few staple foods but can't seem to progress beyond them.

I wish we had more snacks, and those that aren't rice. I'm going to try and experiment with millet & buckwheat so will let you know how I get on.

Kim, which baby rice did you try? Only Organic baby rice has the least amount of stuff in it. Only added B vits I think. If you have a grinder it's super easy to make your own baby rice. I think Cooper prefers that to bought baby rice anyway.

I would definitely look at sussing out rice first cause it's a really rare allergy/intolerance. Plus it opens up so much in the way of food if she can have it.

I was the same, as a baby Alia could eat pretty much everything.

The chances are that he might be ok with soy emulsifiers, I'm not 100% but I think they don't have the same protein so therefore don't affect. I can't recall it all sorry, maybe try googling. Soy emulsifier & soy allergy

this site has some good egg replacement ideas... some of them may be useful.
