My 10 mo boys have been gluten free, dairy free, soy free since I went on an elimination diet because one had terrible reflux. It made a ton of difference. We went for allergy testing and he came up negative for wheat. The allergist is recommending we start slowly introducing wheat. I am of course very scared, but would love to be past this allergy food lifestyle. I am not sure what food to introduce first. I don't know if it matters but I would like it to be something with not a whole lot of extra stuff in it. I read the cheerios box and that has a lot of ingredients. So does bread. Is there anything that is recommended as a first food for a wheat challenge?
Thank you!

Could you bake bread yourself? There are pretty simple bread recipes with few ingredients. Or pancakes? You could use flour and whatever milk/formula they boys drink and sweeten with fruit - mashed banana or applesauce could work. What about a wheat baby cereal?
Good luck, I hope the challenge goes well! :-*

Thank you. What great ideas. I am so in this gluten free life style I can't even think of non gluten free options and yours are great. I like the idea of teh baby cereal. I am going to check that out the next time I am at the store. Thank you again!
