WheatHome>> Wheat Allergies
Wheat allergies in children can become an extreme hardship on parents, guardians, and caretakers in providing healthy and tasty food choices. The most common snacks to give babies and toddlers are often made with wheat flour, or wheat derived ingredients such as kamut and spelt. These snacks are most popular because the consistencies allow babies and toddlers to have food melt in their mouths, often lacking teeth to ease chewing. Wheat can be hidden in different foods, so that hotdog that you grab for your child with an allergy may contain a wheat derived product. The same can be true with ice cream. There is at least one brand of hotdog and ice cream in your grocers freezer that contains wheat.



The most common snacks given to babies and toddlers include cheerios, goldfish, pretzels, Gerber puffs and various crackers. Introducing solids in the early months can also contribute to sensitivities to wheat products.

If you know your child is allergic or intolerant of wheat snacks, there are great alternatives to these including:

Rice Cakes- www.Quaker.com
Soy Crisps

If you simply avoid giving your child a wheat product for a longer period of time, then gradually add it back into their diet, you may notice that they have outgrown it. If symptoms return, go back to a wheat free diet and try again in a few months.
