The Best Tasting Gluten-Free Products for Picky Kids
Our favorite gluten-free products My daughter has a gluten sensitivity. She can eat a little wheat and be okay, but if she has it too often, she gets stomach aches and feels crummy. Unfortunately...her favorite foods are pasta, mac and cheese, and bagels! Uh oh! And on top of wanting to eat all carbs all the time, she also is very picky. You can't just make any old substitution and expect her to eat it. She won't take, "isn't this good enough?" as an argument.
