We call these rice cakes :)

I took an old family recipe which was my favorite and turned it into amazingness allergy free for my son to enjoy!
Recipe:
I used about 2cups of leftover brown rice 3/4 cup of liquid- I used coconut milk from the can
I used 2tsp of chia seed pudding leftovers or you could use 2 eggs or an egg replacer
1cup of pancake mix
+you could add a tsp of sweetner as well we don't

This made about half of a medium sized mixing bowl. Then I put them into my cake pop maker and smashed them and they took about 4minutes on each side. They look like little hashbrowns. I used some frozen blueberries with some water in the bullet mixer and then poured some on top it soaks then right up and they taste good with a little maple syrup poured on top for some sweetness.
This recipe makes a ton!
These will freeze really good because the pancakes do!

::If you don't have a cake pop maker::
You could use a normal muffin tin fill them only about and inch full. Bake for maybe 10-15 minutes on 350* I'm not sure I would just watch them closely. I usually bake my pancakes German style and it takes about 20minutes.
The smaller the better if you are using gluten free pancake mix because they tend to not rise and you don't want a gooey center.

Lasagna Bowl

Homemade Sauce with Tinkyada lasagna noodles
The noodles can.usually be found in the gluten free section of your Wal-Mart or local grocery store. They are a $1 more than your average cheap pasta usually. They are thicker and healthier since the only ingredients are brown rice! More protein! The sauce I made in the crockpot starting with enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the crock. Then added minced fresh from the vine garlic and minced onion. I used 3 little purple onions and 3whole things of garlic. Then after about an.hour on high I added chopped tomatoes. I go for the ugly tomatoes at the Farmers Market and just cut the imperfections out. They taste better anyway. Then about 30minutes before dinner I add the fresh from the vine basil a whole bunchle and chop that up and throw it in there. Then sprinkle some sea salt in there and call.it good until ready to serve! Just take a knife and slice up the noodles when there done before draining.  We all had a double serving including the 10month old!

What do you do when he has a reaction??

Depends on the reaction.

If he wakes up in the middle of the night inconsolable screaming I give him gripe water sometimes I let him drink the whole thing to soothe his stomach.

If he has an ataxia or food reaction about 30 minutes after the culprit food then I give him a.kingbio homeopathic spray called food chemical allergy relief I think its what its called. 2sprays seems to do the trick just fine and it curbs it from reacting to his gut. If he seems fussy in two hours I give him some more spray. There are no side effects to the spray so its better than any sort of medicine. It also works super fast like 5-10minutes.

If its an.FPIES reaction to dairy I usually try to detox.him with an emergency green smoothie or juice with some ginger and other cleansing and soothing veggies. If he won't.drink the juice I make a smoothie to hide the juice with some frozen fruit. Also mashed potatoes seems to help his tummy and he will always eat some potatoes!

If he gets a diaper rash or bad acid burns which is a food reaction I usually make some colloidal oatmeal. You take some oatmeal blend it in a blender add some water til you have a thick paste and paint it on him. Then he takes a hot steamy shower with the water spraying up super high so by the time it reaches him its not so hot. We've done this since he was a baby and it really heals it. He can't have gluten but oats have never bothered his skin and you can.use GF oats. We also use coconut oil to heal and bag balm works wonders too. If they are really big I use a blister patch bandaid on them in his diaper so they don't get wet. They soak off in the bath tub pretty easy.
