Substitutions


Gluten: Gluten is a protein found in specific grains (wheat, spelt, kamut, barley, rye). Other grains are naturally gluten-free but may have cross-contact with gluten-containing grains. Look for certified gluten-free products if you need to avoid gluten. Find out more about wheat and gluten substitutions.

Milk and Soy Substitutions: Alternative dairy-free milk beverages and products will work in most recipes. Find out more about milk substitutions and soy substitutions.

I'm wanting to make playdough for a little boy who is allergic to proteins ??

Since the play dough won't be eaten, as long as he does not react through contact, you could watch the child closely and thoroughly was his hands after playing with it.

Another option might be ooblick - which is made by combining cornstarch with water. I don't know if cornstarch would have all of the proteins removed to make it safe for the boy.

what did I do wrong? Its so sticky!

Pj - highly refined oils are supposed to be free of proteins, but some very sensitive individuals still react to them. It would be best to talk to your little one's doctor for their opinion on oil options. There is rice bran oil that might be an option.

I also recommend asking other parents for their experience on our online community - community.kidswithfoodallergies.com
