Snacking is an inevitable habit that helps keep the body running between meals. The problem for anyone with a food allergy is that finding a good snack food can be difficult- or even downright impossible. Despite lack of support from local stores, there are still options in finding such snacks.
Let the news of a food allergy not burden you, but also give you the strength to eat healthier. As you pick healthier foods to snack on, you may notice that it's these products that are less liable to cause allergies. Apple sauce is a great example of health food that can be filling and tasty as well. Apple sauce made from organic apples is an appetizing treat that almost anyone can eat.
Crackers and related snacking foods are generally healthy, depending on your selected brand. Not all brands are safe to consume, as bread products do typically contain gluten and other ingredients that can be problematic to a food allergy. Food allergy shops found on the Internet should be able to list cracker products free of eggs, gluten, wheat, soy, or other ingredients.
It's hard to imagine a movie night without popcorn- it's a staple of the entertainment industry and the main seller at cinemas. Some types of popcorn seasoning that come in with microwavable bags might have been processed with products such as eggs or casein. If you do find a good allergy-safe bag of popcorn, also verify that any season you put on the treat is also safe to consume.
A snack that never grows old, even as we get older, is the conventional pudding snack. Whether made in big bowls at home or bought packaged at the store, the many flavors of sweet chocolate or vanilla work well with the sub-solid consistency of pudding. Of course, most recipes require milk products or have them included in, so buying brands over the Internet might be necessary. Home recipes can also be changed to switch out milk for other substances in the pantry.
A childhood should have to be devoid of candy and sweets. Teachers do, after all, like to offer lollipops as rewards to bright and gifted children who show work ethic in their studies. Even the basic lollipop- perhaps the simplest of all candies- may have been manufactured on equipment used to process other foods containing allergens. Special candies free of common allergens can be found using the Internet and specialty shops featuring organic goods.
