    There is a product called Peanut Flour-Protein Plus. I am in love with it. you would probably have to order it online such as as through amazon...but it can be used to bake with or make into a peanut butter paste...used in smoothies. etc...

    I desperately need some breakfast ideas for my kiddo that are grain free, dairy free and egg free. We were aware of his gluten intolarene for a while, and i learnt to bake all kinds of gluten free stuff, but his full panel food intolerance come back and i am kind of clueless what to give him to eat from now on. Beside gluten he is highly sensitive to gliadin , which is a protein present most gluten free grains. The only grain he can eat is rice and corn.
    Beside the gluten and gliadin, he is also highly sensitive to eggs both the white and the yolk, which makes me absolutely clueless. Plus citrus fruit , just to make life even harder. Sigh. He also mildly sensitive to whey, so milk is out too, but he can have some limited amount of hard cheese and Greek yogurt. His dr said if we cut out all the problematic food, his gut may heal and later on we may able to introduce back some of these. In any case right now, I need deal with this limited choices.

    I am ok with the dinner, and I pack dinner leftover for lunch for school. However I totally lost when it comes to breakfast. Does anybody have some ideas? Recipes?
    As most families, we have hectic morning when I have to pack lunch/ snack for 4 people, and make breakfast, drive 2 kids to 2 different places etc. I need breakfast ideas that can be made ahead of time, or very fast.
    I am kind of desperate here.

    Poor little fellow. you could bake your own hash browns to throw in the toaster. I'm thinking potatoes in all their forms. When we were kids we would eat refried mashed potatoes with tomato sauce for breakfast when we could. Boiled potatoes cut up and fried in butter were the ultimate favourite.

    Also: check cornflakes... what's the result for corn products? did he escape that? Cornflakes with banana and apple juice is very nice - in fact cornflakes with apple juice is VERY nice. People usually think they should only have them with milk.

    Lunch: potato salad, chicken breast. Or potato and cashew nut salad with chicken in it. Oh yes....

    Cornbread, falafel (Chick pea patties, fried in oil.) daal (lentils), refried beans,

    bean salad?

    if you have lunch and dinner covered- feed him that for breakfast.

    I know LOTS of people who eat left overs for breakfast (me included)

    I make omelets with egg beaters and egg whites.

    Has to be egg-free :(

    How do you feel about soy? Tofu, veggies, and potato hash-scramble are very yummy!

    Lots of great suggestions. Thanks!
    Rice porridge is a great idea he would definitely eat it, especially at the winter time, which is 8 months long around he.
    The problem with the gluten free ready to eat food from the store that most have eggs and gluten free grains that have gliadin. I buy some rice crackers from a local gluten free bakery, but they cost a fortune. It is not really suistanable to have something like that as a staple in his diet. I rather would come up something I can make myself in bulk and freeze it.

    So far I managed to make one breakfast "cookie" made from coconut flour, nuts , and fruits. Other days I just give him breakfast sausage by itself with some fruits.
    I tried bacon, but he ended up crying because he could not have eggs with it like the rest of the family. He is not even 5 years old, and have a hard time to understand / accept that he can not eat what others do. To make it transition easier, we try not to eat thing that he can not have , at least not in front of him.

    With baking, use banana or flax-egg to bind the flours together. Almond meal is such a great substitute for muffins/pancakes. You can make sweet potato pancakes and mix in almond meal. Just google recipes online!

    I know. This is an excellent idea. I started to do that myself a while ago and it really opened up my choices.
    I do this for my son sometimes like yesterday he ate coconut shrimp with rice for breakfast. :)
    The problem is variety. I cook only one dish for dinner and he gets the same into his lunchbox the next day. Giving the exact same for breakfast is boring.

    Shakes with fruit and soy milk or scrambled eggs with egg substitute?

    Ground flaxseed and hot water make a great cereal. Add in Banana or other fruit.

    Greek Yoghurt with crushed ricecakes for crunch.

    Ricecakes with grass-fed beef patty on top.

    Corn tortilla with meat and a dash of Greek yoghurt and sauteed veggies wrapped up.

    Corn muffin topped with sausage (be sure it is gluten free) and gravy (gravy made from sausage drippings, almond milk and corn starch). A gluten free version of biscuits and gravy...

    I recently made a recipe that combined 100g mango pulp with 28 g Chia seeds (multiply recipe as necessary), let sit in the fridge for 1/2 hr then spread into some kind of baking pan and bake at a temp that will both dehydrate the juices from the mango and cook the stuff. Mango-chia seed crackers! Then you could add some peanut butter or something else on top.

    What about cutting up some sweet potatoes and roasting them in the oven with some olive oil and herbs?

    welcome to adult world... where we all eat the same thing all the time because we are busy LOL

    I cook 2 dishes usually- one easier and one more "zesty" or complicated as it were... that way I can rotate them. I also have the luxory of egg scramble thing I make- so that's three things I rotate- I also make eggs for dinner. But yeah- if I can't make 2 things- I eat the same thing for days till it runs out. Shrug. you get used to it.

    I'll second the rice porridge, I was on a strict gluten free diet as a kid, and it made our mornings a bit more bearable. You could take on some asian inspiration and make it savoury too, otherwise it's yummy with some fruit or honey on top. Also, potato, as others said. A hash would work well, or just panfried with a few veggies and some GF ham, sausage or even left over dinner meats. Also, there's nothing wrong with mixing non-usual things in at breakfast time. How about some (home made would be yummiest) baked beans over a little rice? A piece of bacon might go nicely with that.

    Also, a tip from someone who was in a similar place as your little guy, in the end my parent's chose to pretty much...eat as I did. This is towards the bacon but no egg scenario. It illuminates the fact you can't have something if your family all are around you, and that's hard when you're young. Weirdly enough, if we were out or somewhere different, the fact my mum ate with/the same as me rather than all the things I couldn't, it was much easier for me to deal with watching others eat it. I know this isn't always practical, but in cases you can, you've probably already noticed this makes it easier.

    Best of luck!

    I used to have rice porridge for breakfast. Its normally in the rice or pudding section and called Flacked Rice. Just add milk of choice and boil up like porridge.

    or, one of my favories...cook some rice, add a little almond or soy milk, add some cinnamon and sugar...and banana.
    Mmmmmmmm arroz con leche

    Never heard of such thing, but It sounds very interesting quick and versatile "bread". i will try this out tomorrow. I have chia seed and I 'll defrost some mango overnight.

    Banana Nut Porridge

    Author: Danielle Walker – Against All Grain
    Recipe type: Breakfast
    Serves: 4
    Ingredients
    ½ cup raw cashews
    ½ cup raw almonds
    ½ cup raw pecans
    1 very ripe banana (makes it easier to digest plus adds a little more sweetness)
    2 cup coconut milk
    2 teaspoons cinnamon
    dash of sea salt for soaking water
    Instructions

    Place the nuts in a large bowl and sprinkle the sea salt over them. Fill the bowl with filtered water so the nuts are covered by at least 1 inch of water. Cover and soak overnight.
    Drain the nuts and rinse 2 or 3 times, until the water runs clear.
    Add the drained nuts to a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend the nuts with the banana, coconut milk, and cinnamon until smooth.

    Divide it into bowls and microwave for 40 seconds or put all of the porridge in a pot on the stove and heat over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
    Serve with raisins, chopped nuts, and an extra splash of milk if desired.

    The OP specifically said corn and rice are OK.

    A few ideas:
    cream of rice cereal
    grits
    grit cakes (cook grits, refrigerate in loaf pan until solid, slice, and fry)
    potato pancakes (made from mashed potatoes -- you would have to use almond milk or some other nondairy milk, but you don't need egg and flour binders the way you do with grated raw potato cakes) (we always made them thick like a burger)
    bacon, sausage, ham, etc. (maybe with beans and fried tomatoes, instead of eggs?)
    you would have to check the labels, but there are cold rice and corn based cereals, like Chex (with almond milk or other nondairy milk)
    peanut butter (or other nut butters) on corn tortillas
    sliced banana and apple with peanut butter
    avocado, peanut butter, and banana smoothie
    corn tortilla with a film of margarine, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon and run under the broiler or in toaster oven

    Best of luck for you and your little boy!

    Excellent tips here - I just found out I am dairy, egg and wheat intolerant, so this post has some great information.
