My son comes out in hives if he eats or touches any egg, dairy or wheat. He does not have a problem with all gluten, as he can eat oats no problem. We haven't tried soy yet, and he can not have any nuts/peanuts either. Any suggestion on what kind of finger foods (besides rice cakes) I can give him? Also, cheerios contains wheat starch, so I guess I shouldn't give them to him? Are there any wheat free cheerio products out there?

Check out the health/natural food section of your grocery store or a Whole Foods (the people at Whole Foods tend to be very knowledgeable and helpful).

Yes, Glutino makes a wheat free cinnnamon cherrio that is outstanding. There are so many new gluten free products on the market hopefully you can find a good health food store in your region that will carry it.
I would be careful with the soy. Go to www.dogtorj.net if you want to find about the four deadly allergens in our food supply: wheat, dairy, soy and corn.

Wheat Fre/nut free Cheerio substitute link www.perkysnaturalfoods.com but I'm sorry I don't know if they are egg or dairy free. Check out cherrybrookkitchen.com for some cake and cookie mixes that are free of gluten (therefore wheat) dairy, nuts and eggs and are very good. Hopefully he wil be able to grow out of some of his allergies! Best of luck. Jenn

Chick peas, also known as garbanzo beans. They are full of protein, have a very mild flavor and if you get them in a can (natural of course for little ones), they are soft and mush in the mouth. If you buy them dried, you can reconstitute or cook them and they will keep in the refrig for a long time. My son LOVED them, and still does. Just don't get them in a brine solution or with lots of added salt. Both of my nieces were allergic to EVERYTHING when they were infants and toddlers and both did great with these. They also supply fiber and lots of vitamins and nutrients. And they are CHEAP.
