Did you ever want a list of what you actually CAN eat? Upon being diagnosed as Gluten Intolerant, we took our 21 month old son to see a nutritionist. We were given a list of low lactose foods and another list of gluten free foods. I have been told that many foods that do not contain lactose (even dairy) cannot say 'Lactose/Dairy Free' due to being produced in a factory that also produces products containing dairy. So unless you are very sensitive to dairy products or are allergic, your body should be able to tolerate these foods. Our son is not allergic, but will get diarrhea within hours of eating lactose/dairy, he is though, able to tolerate all foods that are low in lactose with no apparent response. (However this is personal and may be very different for someone else-it needs to be trial and error for each individual)Now, I have 2 littlies with in tolerances and trust me me, it isn't easy to find foods that they like, that are nutritious and provide a bit of all the good stuff. Little snacks, dinners that are kid friendly and on par with what we have been eating etc. Standing in the supermarket choosing the lollies that we treat our littlies with has become a big stress.
I endeavor to share this list with you as I cross reference the list of lollies low in lactose and the gluten free lollies.
Lactose and Gluten Free Pascall Lollies
Curiously Strong Peppermints
Pineapple Lump
Jaffas
Rainbow Buttons
Mint Imperials
Spearmint Imperials
(this list was a lot larger when I first wrote it, for some strange reason, either there has been more research done, or manufacturers have started to put gluten in our lollies for no obvious reason).

This information was given to me by a hospital dietician who gets all of her information from www.mfd.co.nz It isn't my own research, just an opportunity to share what I have been given.
Please feel free to comment if you need to know anymore. I will add other lists as I come to doing them, I am a busy Mum!
