Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 I am still new to the diet but sending my son with his own snack to Sunday School has been a real challenge. So far what has worked best is potato chips, raisins (SunMaid said they do not use flour in their canisters), cereal (Gorilla Munch, Pandas, Corn Pops), gummy bears and GFCF cookies. > Hello all, > > We are in the process of setting up a special needs program at our > church, and I am hoping to get a list of snacks that would work in > that setting...things that won't spoil, are easy to fix, and > (hopefully) are not real messy. > > Thanks for any ideas...I'm thinking of things like dried fruit, but I > don't know if those have to be screened in any way...we are not doing > the diet, but I want to respect the needs of the other kids, and it > sure won't hurt my son, either. > > Thanks, > Raena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son loves those! (who's kid doesn't?) ) I know Jolly popcorn is gfcf: you have to make it at home either in an air popper or on the stove, and all you put in the pan is oil, so it stays helthy (I use olive oil). Wasa Crackers are wheat-gluten-lactose free, but are kinda expensive. Rice cakes work as well: my sone loves them with peanut or almond butter on it, but they are ok also plain. ) And rice crackers. For raisins and such, you have to make sure they are the one in bags (like the sunmaid ones) b/c those are sure free of flour (they usually flour the container they are put in to keep them from getting stuck). My son can't do raisins anyway, so I am not sure if that brand is ok. Also Tim's potato chips are gfcf and corn chips or corn tortillas (dried up a bit in the oven they come out crispy). Plus all the cereals and gfcf cokies and such. Maybe the parents could take turns into baking some gfcf muffins and cookies etc? Good luck ) Cristina-WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 Hello all, Just wanted to take a chance to say thanks for all the ideas for snacks for our Special Needs church class. I now have some resources and can plan how to go about this portion of the program. Now all we have to do is get the room ready...then we're set to fly with it.
