Hi everyone,
I'm a new mom and my toddler has recently been diagnosed with dairy and gluten allergies. As you can understand, this has been a little overwhelming for me as I'm not sure what foods to give my child. I want to make sure my child gets all the required nutrients and also enjoy their meals. Can you suggest some healthy meal options that are dairy and gluten-free?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello,
I am also a mother of a toddler with dairy and gluten allergies. One thing that has worked really well for us is making homemade pizza with gluten-free pizza crust and dairy-free cheese. We typically add some fresh veggies to it like cherry tomatoes and spinach, which makes for a delicious and healthy meal.
Another go-to meal for us is grilled chicken with roasted sweet potato fries and a side salad with a homemade vinaigrette. We also enjoy making gluten-free pancakes with almond milk and adding in some blueberries for a sweet and nutritious breakfast.
For snacks, we love fresh fruit with dairy-free yogurt, gluten-free pretzels with peanut butter, and even homemade granola bars with nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.
Overall, it's important to understand that food allergies can be challenging but with time and experimentation, you and your child can succeed in balancing nutrition with taste. There are also many resources available online, such as blogs and social media pages with allergy-free recipes, which can greatly help.
