On the form that I have from the food program itself, it says that any medical professional can sign the paper, but if it's a life threatening allergy, a Doctor must sign it. They never check it out, they probably wouldn't even know it's a chiropractor. (I'm not saying to lie, I'm just saying). -
Here is a website that has the Food Monitor Handbook for family daycare's and on page 24 there is a section about milk substitutions. I know it's not about the wheat/gluten question, but if you read through it, it may answer some questions about food and drinks.
It also says your state agency will decide which substitutions fit the requirement (for milk). I thought it would be the same for everyone, I guess not.

Wheat allergy shouldn't cause any problems w/ the food program. Every food group has many, many, many food options except the milk one! You can serve gluten free bread products, rice, oats, quinoa, couscous, etc, etc in the bread/grain category just fine w/ no exception needed.Comment

WRONG. So Delicious brand Almond milk has 5g protein. Soy and Dairy free.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
However almond milk does not qualify on our fp. Two of my families serve it here, I do as well. My kiddo can not have any other milk besides almond, (no soy, no dairy, no coconut etc). I just serve it and leave well enough alone. My other kids get cows milk and my lady has never asked.
As far as a doctors note goes, our FP requires a doc note saying modified food plan but it doesnt require a reason or diagnosis. Our primary doc has one for my kiddo if we needed it. But I havent even addressed it with my other families. IF it becomes an issue I will.
And GF shouldnt present an issue as there are many alternatives to G available most everywhere.Comment
