No child under six months should be given any food containing gluten.
It is important that an older child is
NOT put on a gluten free diet before the diagnosis of the coeliac condition has been confirmed by a doctor. The change in diet may make diagnosis more difficult.
Recipes for the Coeliac Child
After the coeliac condition or wheat intolerance has been diagnosed you must ensure that
ALL food eaten by the child is gluten free.
The amount of fat and refined sugar should be restricted in the first month after diagnosis of the coeliac condition, as the lining of the intestines has to regrow in the absence of gluten before these can be fully absorbed.
Once a child with the coeliac condition is on a totally gluten free diet the child should be completely normal and healthy.
Six months to twelve months.
Salt and salty foods, as well as heavily spiced foods should be avoided, and the amount of sugar and fat should be kept to the minimum. Salt and sugar should not be added to foods.
The food should be presented in the form of a pureé at first, served lukewarm or cold, but always freshly prepared. When you see your baby starting to chew then small soft lumps of food can be included, but do not allow your baby to have hard, lumpy foods like peanuts, which might cause choking.
Do not give a baby too many different flavours at once, and give the pureé after the milk feed.

Hi,
I've only just found this site and saw your post relating to gluten free food for children, I have a 9 year son who was diagnosed with coeliac disease at 18months. The first few years were a nightmare but things have got much easier as he has grown up and food labels have become much clearer. If you are still after some advise please email me and I would love to help. kirsty

Hi Deborah,
Have you joined the UK Coeliac Society? At a local level they operate through a number of volunteer groups who arrange meetings, events, etc. and can provide you with support and information. The Coeliac Society can put you in touch with Group organisers for your area. Besides prescription foods, there is now a wide range of gluten free foods available. A number of committed manufacturers have obtained the necessary licence from the UK Coeliac Society to depict the Cross Grain symbol on their packaging. Close to the symbol (above, or below, or at the side) you should be able to see their allocated Licence Number. Although the Cross Grain symbol shows that the foods are considered suitable for coeliacs it does NOT remove the need for manufacturers to show a product's list of ingredients. The Cross Grain symbol does, however, make it easier for busy shoppers and store staff to readily recognise gluten free products. You will find products available in supermarkets (e.g. Waitrose, Sainsbury, Tesco etc), delicatessens (more and more delicatessens are introducing a GF section), health food stores, some chemists, and on-line (e.g. Drossa, Droppa and Droppa etc. You might like to visit another message board where you may find lots of information and/or exchange ideas with others experiencing similar problems: http://members2.boardhost.com/glutenfree/ Good luck.

Hi my daughter who is 4 has coeliac diease. She was diagnosed in january. I know quite abit about it as my father in law has it. The only thing that i have found this year is that all the companies do not take in to consideration that children have this problem. There is a huge market for it.
The prescription food is the same. They did for example duck shaped pasta but now they have stopped this range. If any one knows of any site which has more child friendly food please let me know. Tracy

Hi Kirsty, just read your message. My grandson is 18 months old and he is allergic to wheat, milk and tomatoes. It is a real struggle to feed him and give him a variety so that he doesn't get bored with his meals. The milk is easy as I substiute goat milk or rice but the tomatoe allergy is the worst I find. I am looking for some suggestions for really good cookbooks that would appeal to kids, or any advice in general about this. Thanks, Kelly

Health food stores like Trader Joe's & New Frontiers have TONS of great gluten-free stuff; everything from cereal, waffles, pasta, macaroni, pizza crusts, cookies, etc. Just make sure it says "gluten free", or if at the regular store, the ingredients do not contain any wheat, barley, rye, or oats or anything simply identified as "flavoring", "extracts", or "spices" (these sometimes do contain gluten). And, be careful of cross-contamination; its just as harmful (my suggestion is to just get all gluten-containing items out of the house, including your toaster). The reflux, by the way, is a common symptom of celiac disease , and will likely go away with a gluten-free diet. Good luck, what a difference this diet will make in the way she feels

Hi Georgina
I just came upon your message requesting gluten free recipes. My son is also 5 years old and also has Autism. We have been doing the GF diet for nearly 4 weeks and I admit I am struggling with what to give him. He loves the GF sausages and GF pizza but not alot else!!! If you have any recipes you are able to share, or can recommend any good websites I would be very grateful. Are you also doing a Casein free diet for your son. This is something I also want to try but am terrified of removing the chocolate spread he has in his sandwiches every day! I'm not sure how old your message is on this website so apologies if I am replying to something you posted ages ago!!! Many thanks Sarah
