This is a list that we did to make life easier. When I have it fine tuned, I will laminate it and put in on the fridge. Our goal was to primarily focus on what they CAN eat, which is why that list is longer.
I can't claim that this is my idea-it actually came from my sister Amy whose 9 year old daughter went gluten free in Sept 09. Note: apparently, most lunch meats contain gluten. Boar's Head does not.
On a Word document, I did the following. It actually has 3 columns with a YES (picture of happy girl), SPECIAL FOODS and under that LUNCH IDEAS and NO (picture of thumbs down)
Gluten Free diet-
Avoid: farina, flour, caramel coloring, enriched flour, cereal, malt flavoring or extracts, monosodium glutamate (MSG)-may have wheat gluten in it, modified food starch, emulsifiers, stabilizers, distilled vinegar, semolina, durum, and triticale.
YES!
