[QUOTE="Josie, post: 163539, member: 1792"] I am very optimistic about your son! Some more mainstream foods that are gluten and dairy free and kid friendly (but junky) are Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles, Dora Explorer cereal (my 12 year old and her friends like this despite its box), Skittles, and Spree. Most soft drinks are ok: Coke, Sprite, Barque's root beer. That Minute Maid Lemonade at many amusement parks not. My kids and I react to Frito Lay products except the Stax potato chips which are made on gluten free lines. I always take food to amusement parks even when they say it is not allowed. If they catch me and try to make me give it up, I tell them we all have celiac disease and they have nothing we can eat. I list the foods we can't have and if necessary go on about the whole cross contamination issue and they quickly agree to let me through. It is very hard to tell a hungry kid there is nothing they can eat so I try to make sure I have something. In the beginning, I let my kids eat a lot of junk food that was gluten free so that they would see there was still lots of good food they could eat and so they wouldn't cheat and we could see if it would help. My daughter is not officially diagnosis'ed with celiac though so if it hadn't improved her behaviour, we wouldn't have stuck with it. [/QUOTE]
