Allergy mums, please help!!!

Hello

My little girl has a milk allergy, possible soya allergy and dietician has just advised us to go gluten free once we've had the results of the coeliac test.
I've got a rough idea for dinners but I'm stuck on ideas for breakfast and lunch. I think eggs are okay but she's not a fan of omelette or scrambled eggs. I've placed a hold on some allergy free books from the library so I can get an idea of what they're like before I purchase them.
Symptoms are:
Low iron stores
Cradle cap
Rash on arms and legs
Excema behind ears and sometimes behind legs
Loose stools and undigested food - she's only had a solid poop a handful of times and she's 3
Bloating where she looks pregnant
Smelly breath
Geographical tongue
Dropping height centiles
Foul smelling wind
Probably more but they're off the top of my head.

Also, are there any good places to eat out once everything is back to normal? I imagine its going to be a bit full on in the kitchen so it'll be nice for a break every now and then.

Thank you in advance :)

Or allergy dads!

My 3 year old boy has recently become Gluten Free. We didn't do it officially through the Gp due to not being able to get an appoinment but he was having continuous diarrhea for months which prevented us from potty training. At first we tried dairy free for 6 weeks which made no difference and then went Gluten Free. After 4 weeks, it all stopped and he had a normal tummy which was amazing! For breakfast he has either GF toast, or Asda do lots of GF cereals such a hoops, cornflakes etc. He has yogurt and fruit too. For snacks he has Oat bars (he like the Aldi ones) or rice cakes. Asda do lots of different types of GF biscuits too incl simple digestives. I have found Asda to be the best on price and variety for GF items but most places sell them these days.

Forgot to say, for eating out, most places have an allergy menu now so I'd just have a quick check beforehand before going anywhere.

@jemma2907 thank you! We are having the same issue with potty training, she's 3 and a half and we're still not even close, it's so different from my little boy. What I wouldn't give for her to have a solid poo! 🙈

Are the oat bars gluten free? In the dietician manual it says to avoid normal oats due to cross contamination and just go for the GF ones.

I've been looking through a few restaurant's allergy menus but a lot of things are free from one thing or another but not all 3 allergens.

Banana pancakes - mix a mashed banana with an egg
French toast using gluten free bread
Beans on gluten free toast
Gluten free porridge
Gluten free waffles - you can make these with dairy free milk too

Homemade soup
Gluten free pasta with tomato sauce or pesto and veg
Jacket potato with baked beans or tuna
Left over dinner
Bakers omelette if she'll eat eggs - its more like a crustless quiche

As for other gluten free food its a case of trial and error to see what she likes. I haven't found anything I can't replace with gluten free, it may be a tad trickier with the other allergies but lots of shop products are gluten free, dairy free and soya free.

Gluten free porridge oats are great, as pats themselves are gluten free, so it is just the contamination that is removed; so use for porridge, flapjack, crumble etc. Many nice gf cereals available; bread is usually a bit grim but improving. Gf oatcakes and crackers generally good. Baked potatoes and the tilda rice pouches good for easy lunches, baked beans are gf as are some tacos and corn chips, most crisps are OK. Eating out in most place is really easy now, fast food can be a problem but places like Bills, Frankie and Bennys, usually have more than one gf choice.

Jointhe Coeliac Society. Their food-checking app is hugely helpful.

Oh I know, its so hard. My little one was having loose nappies between 5-7 times a day. As soon as his stomach settled we tried training though and it went really well so don't worry about that side of it for now.
You had me worried on the Oat Bars and I don't have a box in to check but my DH (also Gluten Intolerant) said that Oats don't contain Gluten but they do have somethibg else in them which coeliacs are sometimes intolerant too. These Oat bars don't affect my little one thoughbor my DH, we only use the Aldi Mamia ones and they're a life saver to be honest as such an easy snack for on the go.
