Hi,
My toddler is allergic to wheat, eggs and milk. Does anyone have recipes for foods and baked items that do not contain these allergens. Thanks a lot.
I will try many of the suggestions. Thanks to everyone that responded I appreciate it. For those of you with allergies or children with allergies, The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network lso known as(FAAN) is a good resource. You can find them on the web.

I believe you could probably find a cookbook from WholeFoods or online. They have amazing selections on excellent products without these ingredients.
Maybe you can find something on this site: http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/
Have you tried the FAAN website it offers recipes and even a recipe book you can buy. This is the organization Trace Atkins played for on celebrity apprentice because of his daughter with severe food allergies.
Poor kid. I have the very same allergies. My symptoms are stuffy nose, sneezing, fatigue, and occasional headache (with chocolate and cheese - my favorites!). But I'm still able to eat these things in moderation. I have found that I feel much better and lose weight when I cut them out. So I have lots of recommendations.
I have a cookbook called The Gluten, Wheat, and Dairy Free Cookbook. I got it on eBay for next to nothing. Also, I have a recipe for a baking mix that does not include wheat or milk, but I'll have to find it. I've used it in baking muffins, coating chicken fingers, and for pancakes. I just joined this board, but I think it's local. If you're local to Butler, look up Frankferd Farms - I think it's in Saxonburg. They sell all kinds of wheat, dairy, and egg-free products. Good luck. M.
C., my niece has the same allergies we just found out and although we don't have any recipes yet we have come across some foods that you can buy and make for your child. There are products from a company called either "cherrydale" or cherryfarms". Sorry, I'm not really sure of the exact name. It was so long ago I bought it for her. I do know that I purchased these products for her at the ACME at the Bond Shopping Center in Upper Darby (Lansdowne ave. and State rd.) They have flour to make cake, cupcakes, icing for the cake and other things. My brother also makes her pancakes and cookies with these products.These can be found in the cake and flour aisle (near the muffin mixes and cake mixes). The are "free" of almost everything. We keep joking with my niece saying "what in the world can they be made of if there's nothing in it?!" If I can find out any more I'll let you know. Hope this helps a little.
I have celiac disease so I cannot consume gluten....the following website is VERY good and most of the recipes you can substitute the eggs and milk with other products. I also look at "normal" cookbooks and substitute accordingly. Sometimes it works out great!
I have tried several of the recipes on this site and my husband and daughter have both loved them.
I used the flour and cookbook from www.foodallergygourmet.com for baked goods and had good luck with them. The site was started by Jodye Hall who has 2 girls that were allergic to almost everything between them. She also has a local support group and is always willing to answer questions if you have trouble with the recipes or need help with substitutions. Her recipes are all wheat/egg/milk free though which is really nice. She uses her special flour, Ener-G egg replacer or flax and rice or soy milk for everything. The flour is pretty pricey I thought, but it does work. There are recipes out there for the proper mixture that you could also try. Good luck!
have you checked out Perk's for Life? They are a fantastic little store on Rt 9 just beyond Rt 83. She carries a lot of wheat and dairy free itmes. There is a brand called Enjoy Life that produces products that are wheat, dairy and egg free. I'm allergic to soy and this brand actually tastes good - my kids will eat the cookies too.

Mine is allergic to eggs and milk, I usually just adapt regular recipes. There are tons of other flours rather than wheat (is it a gluten allergy or wheat??) some experimentation will occur, but it gets easier. FYI, organic sections of grocery stores and Health Foods Stores are GREAT for people with food allergies. They always have tons of alternative things to try.
I just found this site:
http://www.homemade-baby-food-recipes.com/index.html
They have recipes for just about everything, with pages of allergen-free recipes (that's why I was looking...), definitely up through the toddler years.
chocolate cake I make with the receipe on the hershey's cococa powder box. I use 1/2 applesauce instead of eggs, I use wheat flour instead of white but if you get organic white flour rises better. also use extra 1/4 teaspoon baking powder(per egg) and just make sure you test it cause leaving out the eggs makes them cook faster.
I used cream of tartar 1/2 teaspoon(to get stuff to rise) and energy egg replacer,they actually sell this at giant,(or wholefoods) I use that for breading that calls for eggs(like chicken dishes etc,) for pancakes I just use a normal pancake receipe add cream of tartar and sub with energy egg replacer.you can use soy milk as a substitute for the milk.add 1/4 applesauce per egg
applesauce works great to keep things moist. I freeze the baked items and just mircowave the slices of cake for like 10 seconds so I always have it if we have to go to parties so my kids can enjoy cake to and not feel left out.
I am still working on the white cake it can out kinda spongee last time. But yeah just experiment milk can always be replaced with soy milk though the eggs are harder because they not only bind they also create alot of moisture.
You always have other flours too so you can experiment with that instead of wheat.
Hello! I have suffered from food allergies all my life and it is a hard task to find foods that are safe. I look on the internet for lists of foods that contain what I am allergic to. I drink Lactaid or Dairy Ease milk because I don't have the sugar enzyme that regular milk has. It is sweeter, but it lets me have "my" milk with cereal etc. Back to the internet...you would be amazed at what recipes you can find on there. Hope this helps!
Hi there! I have a 4 year old son who is allergic to eggs and peanuts. As you know, everything contains egg, or some form of dairy in your case!
Anyway, I am not sure if you ever heard of this company, but Cherry Brook Farms makes cake batters, brownie batter, frosting mixes and pancake mix dairy, wheat/gluten and egg free. You should check out their website. The larger ACMES carry their products as well as Natural Whole Foods Stores.
I can get away with a lot more foods because of the milk and wheat, so I apologize for not providing you with more information.

Hi, well here's a response from an old hand. My son Max, now 21 and doing a semester abroad in Morocco (mom beam) was also allergic to wheat, eggs and milk. It is not an easy road to hoe. I'm at work now, but will log back in and give you the name of my cookbook that got me through. Basically my advice is to go to a health food store and get Egg replacer (dry powder) and Rice Dream or Soy dream and look at alternative flours. We found spelt was one Max tolerated well, but not all do. I was a stay at home mom, I don't regret it at all (except sometimes when I look at my paycheck). My son (and older daughter)and I are very close now because of the battles waged through his allegies and asthma. He's outgrown the wheat (around 14) and now eggs (this year) but I think he'll always have the milk allergy (by far his worst along with tree nuts.) You now need to take those skills you learned in college and do the research. There is a lot of information out there now. I don't know the cause, but allergies are more prevelant than when I was a kid. The inhalers in the elementary school nurse's office closet are many. Hang in there. I'll be back.......
