As usually, walking up and down the aisles of Wholefoods, Trader Joes and Wild by Nature, and looking for foods free of Gluten, Dairy and Egg.
I grab a box of something that says Gluten Free, and flip it around to see what is inside.
Darn, it has eggs or some dairy mixed in the product.
To my estimate, even at these "Healthy" supermarkets, about 1 percent of the shelves would fit the needs of my child, aside from the fruits and vegetable section of the store.
Once and a while you get lucky and find something made free of Gluten, Dairy or Eggs.
Then you need to remember while it might be 1.
5 to 2 times the cost of a comparable product.
It's for the long-term health of your child, so you make adjustment elsewhere.
The payoff is that the rest of the family is eating better and that cost is priceless.
We recently came across a company called Glutino that make a bunch of snacks that are Gluten, Dairy and Egg Free.
While I normally don't think of Corn and Potato in my Pretzels, it's quite tasty.
It's been grade to be able to send a snack in my son's lunch box and he is happy to eat.
After going to McDonalds for so many years, and getting that Happy Meal with the little toy was the delight of my child's car ride.
Now, no more chicken nuggets from any fast food restaurant.
Grilled chicken isn't quite the same.
How lucky are we to come across Ian's Chicken Nuggets.
They are also Gluten, Dairy and Egg Free!
