My daughter has what seems to be many different food allergies. Unfortunately she can not be tested until she is 4 yrs old. It seems to be mostly wheat products, as well as certain fruits. I think it is a gluten allergy. Any advice on products I can buy for her to eat safely would be great. I live in a small town and access to gluten free products seem to be hard to find.

you shold shop online for glutin free products and it is not true that she can not be tested until she is 4.My friend's daughter has a severe allergy to dairy and has been tested, now the tests do no show how strong the allegery is but it does show that there is an intollerance for certain things. Try finding a pediatric allergy specialist. that is who my firend sees. Good luck.

Do you think maybe she has celiac? There is a website that might help you. I had a friend with this and she couldn't eat anything with gluten in it. I hope everything turns out okay for your daughter and I hope this website helps also

my son is also allergic to alot of foods but most grocery stores have gotten better with having a section for allergy people. my son is 2 and got tested by blood the first time and found he was allergic to peanuts milk egg white and egg yolk, then went to allergist and added on some environmental allergies along with apples. so it is an uphill battle and sometimes i fin myself in the grocery store for hours reading the back of everything but its been about a year now and its just second nature
