Disney fruit snacks
In my attempt to find out if Dora The Explorer Fruit snacks (byNabisco) are gfcf I found out that the Kellogg Disney Fruit Snacks arethe only ones “formulated to not contain gluten”
Does anyone out there let their kids have Disney Fruit Snacks? ShouldI trust the statement “formulated to not contain gluten”? I amdesperately trying to find something that my daughter will eat. (Iknow that there are food dyes in the fruit snacks, but for now I amjust trying to get her gfcf)!

You have to be careful with the fruit snacks. It is full of sugar and dyes.I give my son those small rice cakes, the apple cinnamon ones. It is hisfavorite snack. Also, he likes the berry bars by Envirokidz. It is calledorganic crispy rice bar, the berry flavor. My son also eats alot of bannanasand french frys from mcdonalds.

We use gerber fruit snacks-they are usually in the baby food sectionand while a little pricey, do not contain dyes and are gfcf!

Apples, cinnamon (I think but am not sure), berries, and bananas are high inamines and/or phenols/salicylates, which many kids on this diet have problemswith. Depending on how sensitive your child is to these, it might be informativeto see what happens if you eliminate them from his diet for a while and thenreintroduce one at a time. It’s tricky to figure out what to feed these kidssometimes, especially for snacks, with all the restrictions, but it’s worth itif not giving them something others eat with no problems helps them functionbetter than giving it to them because it’s “healthy” for most people but causessevere issues for them. (Our daughter is gfcf mostly sf and we’re looking atstarting her on Feingold the first of the year, so we’re really going to bereading labels carefully.)

“formulated to not contain gluten”
I hate lawyer talk, don’t you? This isn’t a straight forward gluten free statement. How it reads to me is, “We want you to buy our product because we are on the gluten free marketing band-wagon. However don’t sue us if you get sick as there are many places in the manufacturing of this product where gluten could be added to the final product.”
For instance: Corn tortias are formulated to not contain gluten but many are dusted with wheat flour to keep them separated.
The only people who can tell you what you want is the manufacturer who can elaborate on the statement in question.
