I'm looking for some food guidance -- I have a 14 month old with allergies to gluten, wheat, corn and oat. Dr. prefers that he only have soy products a few days a week to avoid developing an allergy to soy.
I'm just trying to get creative and give him some interesting, manageable (he only has 8 teeth) foods. Everything I find that's gluten/wheat free...has an oat or corn base. Any advice for this new mom? Thanks.



Hi Robin,
It's tough enough to get a toddler to eat, but then when you have one with a food allergy it must be rough!
Sloane Miller is a resident expert here and has written many share posts on food allergies, particularly gluten. There is an interview here with Alice Sherwood, the author of the book Allergy-Free Cooking. There are alot of ideas in this book that you can probably adapt for your son.
Sloane also talks about using Quinoa as a substitute for oatmeal here.
You can read more about Sloane here and read her shareposts here.
Hope this helps! Stay in touch and let us know how you and your son are doing!

I can't thank you enough for this information! So, so appreciated. Yes, it's all new to me and, of course, you want to do the best for your baby.
Best,
Robin
