High Calorie Gluten-free Casein-Free FoodsFinding high calorie gluten-free casein-free foods that your child will accept can be difficult.

Get creative and think outside the box! Everyone knows peanut butter, but have you tried almond, macademia nut, cashew and sunflower seed butters? These are all allowed on your child's diet. Although regular yogurt and cheese contain casein, rice yogurt and cheese are allowed. Instead of cow's milk, try hemp, almond or coconut milk. Depending on how strict you want to get, soy will open a whole world of dairy substitutes, however before introducing your child to soy make sure it's ok with your practitioner. Soy is not always allowed when dairy is omitted in the diet due to similarities in the protein structure.

"I just want to say: Although the sudden plunge into no Vital Jr and no baby formula was cold turkey and not easy and super scary for me, a month later, I can say that my son looks really, really good physically, is now maintaining weight, and obviously feels a little more light and happy in his physical actions. Regardless of whether the GFCF diet will end up being necessary, I am thrilled beyond words that he eats REAL FOOD, not chemicals. The lighter, more frequent meals make me feel like I am finally not causing GERD and constipation faster than I can medicate it. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your help! I truly could not have done it without your help. And I feel confident that with continued tweaking with you his diet can get in more calories and complete nutrition, which makes me feel so good as a mother (especially of a chronically malnourished child, even in utero) that I am finally actually nourishing my child."
