If powder Alimentum is corn based

Can I assume that DS can freely eat corn products??? Trying to find some type of finger food for him for a cross country flight. Looking at cereals that are corn based, with minimal ingredients. What do you think?

Hmmm...I wouldn't assume that. My LO is on Similac Sensitive (cow's milk based) but can't have any other dairy products, not even yogurt. Has your DS been tested for a corn allergy? I know he can only eat like 5 foods right now, but I don't know what you've had him tested for or what his confirmed allergies are. I would definitely try it before your trip to see if he can handle it, but I know Kix cereal is corn-based and I got one from my local health-food store called Gorilla Munch by Envirokidz which says on the box:

Ingredients: Organic corn meal, organic evaporated cane juice, sea salt.

Ha! Gorilla Munch is what I have! He hasn't been tested for corn, I don't think. But all his allergies are non ige mediated, and most don't show up as positive for allergy anyway. I really wanna try out Gorilla Munch for the plane ride, I know he would be in heaven. Guess I have to trial it this week and see how he responds. Thanks!
