Vitamins

It seems no matter how hard you try to find foods to fill in nutritional gaps for your allergic kids, they end up missing some important vitamin or mineral or in our case, entire food groups. Below is a list of vitamins and supplements I've found that are nearly completely allergen free:

Twinlab Infant Care Multi-Vitamin Drops with DHA
There are a few multi-vitamins you can find at the natural food store, but I know that this one works. I've used it through infanthood and toddlerhood. Childlife and Dr. Greene also have multi-vitamins that claim to be allergen free.

BioGaia Probiotic Straws
These straws have probiotic suspended in a tiny drop of rapeseed (canola) oil. You simply put the straw into your child's drink. These are great for those allergic to milk products and are unable to eat yogurt for probiotics.

Childlife Liquid Calcium with Magnesium
I was cautious about these as they have citric acid and fructose in the ingredient list, both of which are typically corn derived in the U.S. However their packaging indicates that they use no corn in their products and we have had no reactions.

Carlson Vitamin Ddrops
According to my daughter's allergist recent research suggests that food allergies and low Vitamin D levels are correlated.

Maine Coast Sea Vegatables
I use dried laver with nori to get trace minerals. Also some seaweeds are richer in iron than beef. My kids eat it right out of the bag, but it is definately an aquired taste. You can try crunching it up and sprinkling it on food if needed.
