No soy sauce?

Not all of Wegmans sushi options are gluten-free bcs of cross contamination due to the inclusion of the rice crispies that they add to rolls and sprinkle on top of rolls. Also the mock-crab that they use is not gluten-free. Wegmans labels will say 'no gluten-containing ingredients' this does not mean the item is gluten-free.

In addition to the soy sauce(there are gluten free ones but most places do not use it)sushi rice uses non-distilled white vinegar, which is made from either corn or wheat. Most do the time it is wheat so no sushi unless you ask first.

I've done this for over 3 years and then started eating wheat again, as it is only a sensitivity, according to my gastro.
Potatoes, use can't believe it is not butter and stock for flavor, such as chicken stock.
Rice noodles, are tasty and have good calories. Potatoes and rice to become staples. I never really got into gluten-free breads, they do not taste great to me at all.
Some of my recipes:
Sliced potatoes with bacon, put in the oven, and simple and filling. Moussaka is the same, just with ground meat.
Cabbage rolls with meat and rice.
Beans, so many beans, thick, soupy, stews, goulash, all with potatoes.
Thai food became my favorite kind of Asian food. Panang chicken and pad Thai. Use coconut milk instead of dairy and voila.
Sorry your kids have celiac, must be hellish!

Sorry, just realizing chic chips have dairy ( we have wheat, soy, nuts, sesame, coconut, and bean allergies, but thankfully not dairy).

To the " your kids are brats" PP, add chocolate to the list.

Gluten free bakeries often have some GF & DF items. It's a big change to go gluten free and dairy free at once, so mistakes will happen, be kind to yourself as you figure it all out. Your son won't like everything but eventually will find what he likes.

You can find vegan chocolate chips at Whole Foods. I recommend Seoul Spice, Chipotle and Cava for GF/DF teens. Rice bowls with meat, vegetables and dressing are filling and easy to pick up.

This salad dressing turned me from a salad hater to a salad LOVER. Not just a salad tolerator. I am eating home made salad right now:

https://www.primalkitchen.com/collections/dressing-and-marinade/products/caesar-dressing


I can also get it at our local grocery stores, so you might be able to as well.

I also really don't like a lot of lettuces, so I went with romaine (skewers? where you buy it in a 'head' but the shape is more like a corn in a husk). I also will buy the butter lettuce head in the plastic container with the roots.

And I just discovered this lettuce which I actually LIKE:
https://www.iloveorganicgirl.com/products/protein-greens/

In my salad, I vary it as to what is in the house, but below is a perfect day where I have everything:

I start with some dry goods: salted macadamia nuts, raw almonds, one Brazil nut for selenium, pepitas, and dried cherries.

Then I add cut up a green apple, some carrots and celery (I put the celery in a glass cup with a little water in the bottom in a sunny window and it greens up)

Then I add blueberries and raspberries, and this time of year, a peach or an apricot

Can add a hard-boiled egg for protein if you want

Then I put in the greens after chopping them up (so I don't have to slog through 1000 chews of greens)

Then the dressing (I do this in this order so the dressing gets mostly on the greens). Don't skimp. I've decided to buy multiple bottles of dressing as overall I will eat this salad more, than if I only have one bottle and am worried that I'm running low.

Toss...then

Sliced/cubed avocado on the top and then toss again. (Hint with avocados: buy green and hard and the shiniest you find. Then put in a dark drawer to ripen. This is because it's impossible to buy a ripe avocado that someone hasn't squeezed and bruised. They are so good when ripened this way, you can actually cut them in quarters and peel off the rind.)

I hope this helps, OP! I had a GF and sugar-free and grain-free kid in the house until last year, and I know it's tricky!

I’m running out of ideas and don’t have much support from other family members. It takes a village to feed kids.

Your teen sounds like a brat. Perhaps they don’t think they need to eating gluten and dairy free.

See if your kid could do it. It’s basically no pizza, hamburgers, etc. even cornflake. That is just the gluten free things. You can not eat out at restaurant where kids like to go. It is a big adjustment and expensive.

No regular pasta, no lasagna or baked ziti, Alfredo, Mac and cheese, nachos, fried chicken sandwiches or chicken tenders), no chicken Parm, no regular meatballs, no sandwiches or subs, no cheese and crackers, no broccoli cheddar, or potato, or chicken noodle soup. Some of those things, you can make decent (but not great) modifications at home. Some, there's no decent sub. Nothing that has cheese. It is an adjustment. Teens are allowed to have feelings and can't be reasonably expected to express them or suppress them perfectly 100% of the time. Good for OP doing her best at nutrition AND at parenting.

Paneer is a cheese. It's made from milk. It's nothing but dairy.

How did you think paneer was made? I'm at a loss.
