Gf-cf Diets

yogurt doesn't have the same effect on those with lactose intolerance as milk, though it is made it with it. It is highly beneficial and should remain a daily snack because the probiotic in it helps maintain the beneficial bacteria in the GI tract, which is so important not only in digestion, but also for the immune system. Definitely don't buy the yogurt that has food dye, or bad sugars like corn syrup like gogurt or pretty much anything with a cartoon character on it. Stonyfield Farms and Horizon (yobaby) make really good yogurt. If you shop where you can find those, you'll also find lots of good gluten free and other choices.

I am on a gluten free dairy free diet and was recently diagnosed with sensitivities. The research I have done online showed me that a lot of times they go hand in hand. It is good to know the differece between a sensitivity and an allergy. (Allergy is more severe)With children you can do an elimination diet which is very difficult and requires special products and and a special diet but it pinpoints specific food allergies/sensitivities. They sell Gluten Free pizza crusts and soy cheese and soy yogurt which I don't eat but have in the past. They have Tofuti and soy icecream which tastes good. Since I quit wheat and dairy I feel a lot more energetic and my conjestion cleared up 100%. With my child I watch food additives and preservatives and am lucky she is fine with everything else. I used to react to food coloring and sugar as a child. I hope this helps...

hi,
Try the diet, star slowly, if you star with dairy replace it with soy and they have everything yogurt, chesse, try it for a week and see if you notice any diference....I will also recomend to read every label, most of the all ready made food, snack contains some dairy protein, avoid some preservatives and colorants....try it for a 2 weeks and see...

And for wheat, go to a health store they have lot of food you will find waffles, pretzel, cakes, brownies, pizza ..etc

Give them more fruit and veggies for those two weeks and see....what happpens, and if you continue to avoid dairy add some calcium to their diet, good luck....it is hard at the begining but it gets easier....
