Recipes for people with intolerances and allergies

[alioops]

Something Christy said in another thread got me thinking about what snack foods can be made to suit allergies and intolerances

Using Christy's sweetened condensed milk I have made a fair few treats that Em can eat, and having the dairy free versions of the ingredients that are used in most sweets I have made quite a few desserts from normal recipe books, but there are still a few things that I am yet to figure out a way to make.

So I thought it would be nice to share what we use to feed our kids when they have dietary issues.

i use "no egg" in every thing for DD. and have been told soft tofu for "scrambled eggs" is a great egg free version.
i make picklets that use banana flour and milk(could do water) for egg free ones..very very tasty.

I used to make savoury muffins and got bored! But that maybe a good idea.

So if I were to put pikelets in a lunch box... how would they go... hmmmmm I dunno.

Our staples atm are:

carrot sticks
rice crackers (plain ones)
hummous
mini wheats (only if she doesn't have a sandwich... we are on a low wheat soon to be no wheat diet)
corn cruskits (only ones with no milk powder ) with a smear of vegemite

We are avoiding sugar atm as well *groan*. Have I mentioned how much I loathe food intolerances atm??? So I'm trying hard to minimise our biscuits, slices, etc... but its soooo hard. Matilda has a definate intolerance to apple juice, so I can't use that to sweeten anything. Dh is convinced she has a fructose intolerance, but I'm not so sure. I know she can drink a glass of limonaide happily, but a glass of apple juice will send her to the fairies for 24 hours.

Christy - i sit possible that there is sucrose in the limonade, and fructose in the apple juice?
I was going to ask what type of sugar you are avoiding - possibly treacle or honey are options to sweeten things?

You can also get milk now that has the lactose removed for those with lactose intolerance, think it is called Zymil. Can get it at safeway.

Limey - We switch between Zymil and the Liddells one depending on price. We are sporadic with milk use so we get UHT.
