DD diagnosed as being allergic to wheat - anyone else out there?

DD has just been diagnosed with being wheat intolerant (not celiac) - I've bought out the local sainsburys wheat free range but have already tripped up by buying fruit flakes (a favourite treat of hers) which I thought were wheat free but turn out to use gluten free wheat fibre (serves me right for assuming).

I feel terrible for her as she's only 3 (almost 4) and will find it difficult to accept that she can't have the same food as her peers, especially when it comes to birthday parties/treats.

Any advice, recipes etc. would be gratefully received.

Try posting in the allergies section. My DS has multiple allergies, but not wheat allergy. It is hard to get used to st first, but then it becomes your normality. The good thing Hmm about wheat allergy is that it is catered for in supermarket etc much better than any other allergy. Places like Starbucks etc have gluten free cakes.
