Milk is an important source of nutrients that you and your family shouldn’t miss out on. If someone in your family has lactose intolerance and the rest of the family still want to enjoy the taste of real milk, try Lactofree - the UK’s first virtually lactose-free dairy drink.
Hi, my DD3 goes to a special school. She gets fruit for morning snack, but is not a girl who can survive til lunch without some carbs (I know!) so I send something else in to fill her up til lunch. Its things like a cereal bar, or jam or marmite sandwiches. However, we've had a letter home to say one of her classmates has a severe nut allergy. As they all try to eat each others food I don't want to put him in danger. Any suggestions people? A current favourite of my girl is sesame seed ryvita and cheese. Will this be ok or a no go. Thanks in advance.
DS is badly allergic to walnuts (never tried any other nuts as a result, for fear of what they might do to him) He isn't allergic to sesame seeds, though - does this help?!
Just seen Ingles2's post - yes, in that case I'd give sesame a miss too! Would your DD eat (eg) oatcakes? They're lovely with cheese, and have none of the kinds of ingredients that schools might object to (sugar etc).
I suspected they were. Thanks for that. Will explore the supermarket. Corn cakes may be good, she doesn't refuse many things! (but rice cakes are like cardboard!) I want to avoid the obvious biscuits and crips.
I suppose you could ask whether the child has an allergy to sesame seeds. ds has nut allergy and has been tested for sesame and is fine with them.Plain ryvita and cheese fine though
I don't think you should feel obliged to avoid sesame seeds unless you've been asked to, actually. I'm sure the child's mother would have mentioned it if they had this allergy also - they don't necesarily go together.
Thanks ladies, well I figured the teachers in a class of 8 rascals with SN have enough to do without worrying about an epi-pen. Not to mention the boy in question also.. Have got plain ryvita to take with cheese for rest of week, then will have a good look in supermarket.
