[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kids won't starve for a week on GF food. My kids adore their cousins and know they will eat kosher and nut free when they visit each other.[/quote]

Speak for your kids.  Mine would.  He will choose not to eat for days vs. eat something he does not want to (yes, we've tested it).  Kosher and nut free is no big deal as you can still have pasta, bread and lots of other stuff.[/quote]

If everything your child eats in a week must contain gluten, you have a bigger problem. Fruits, veggies, meat, eggs, nuts, and milk are naturally gf. Your kid's diet is a travesty.[/quote]

My kid does not eat meat so most mains contain gluten.  A child cannot live off fruits, veggies and milk for a week.[/quote]

What are you serving for "mains"?

Black bean or lentil tacos in a corn shell

Scrambled eggs and hash browns

Lentil soup

Bean chili

Pizza on a gluten free crust

Apples and peanut butter

Stir fry with tofu

Spaghetti squash with marinara

My child is allergic to a few of the things listed and will not eat the others.  .  We've tried and tried and its slowly getting better but we cannot force it or bribe despite trying.  The parents need to allow OP one kitchen and they take another.  Child can be kept out of main kitchen and dining room.
