Gluten-free recipes for Feeding Children

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 Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: In reply to message (delete if not applicable): Display heading Security Code:

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.
