Most of the allergy elimination diets say to take out a food for at least 4

days and then retry to see if it is a problem. I'd wait a week at first, then

retry the same day of the week a few times to see if she does worse on those

days.

Shona,

Have you tried making meat puffs for protein? The recipe is in Special

diets for Special Kids. You basically puree some ground meat (I use turkey

or chicken) into a paste. You can use a good blender or mixer. Then add some

baking powder, g/f flour, and an egg. Form into balls and bake. They

taste more " breadish " than " meatish " . I tell they're tater tots

(which they do look like) and he'll eat them. I add a bit of broccoli too

for some stealth veggies.

My tend to turn out a bit dry, though........

LMK if anyone wants the exact recipe

Or how about beans for protein? loves Bush's baked beans, I rinse

them off first to remove some of the sweet sugary sauce (which is exactly

why he likes them)

Last I checked they're gf, they have caramel color but it's corn derived.

Delimex beef taquitos are also gf/cf.(the big boxes at Sams Club are OK,

check the label- the ones that say " grilled " are not gf) Not the healthiest

in the fat dept., but a good quick protein if corn is OK.

I guess I'm really lucky 's a meat/bean eater.....it's pretty much his

only protein source anymore (eggs,nuts/seeds and soy are out)

Good luck

Becky

Thanks Becky. Please let me have the recipe for the meat balls. I'm going to

try salmon patties tonight with her to see if I can get her to eat them. Shona

Becky, can I make them using egg substitute instead? Skyler, my youngest, is

allergic to eggs. I'm afraid to make anything he can't eat, cause he eats

everything, unlike Chaia. Also, is completely GF? Have you seen better

results with that than with the do's and don'ts of diet? Just curious. Shona

Hi Shona,

The only fruit that my son will eat is bananas also.He reacts behaviorally as

well as getting red hot ears. Our allergist suggested that instead of stopping a

food that he really loves, try giving him only ORGANIC and very ripe bananas ~

make sure that they have brown spots on them. I'm sorry, I know that he said

something about non-organic bananas being artifically ripened and lots of kids

react to them but I don't remember what he called the process. The riper the

better because it is easier to digest. My little guy can eat one a day with no

problem now.

Take care.

They sound like meatballs. Can you use ground beef and fry them instead, like

regular meatballs? Then they wouldn't be so dry. My son will eat meatballs.

Shona,

Shona,

I use egg substitute for them, they turn out OK. I use the Ener-G

brand, it seems to work fine texture wise. is gluten, dairy,

nut/seed, citrus,grape, brown rice, oat, berry, egg, and tropical

fruit-free. We were bascically doing the do and don't diet before starting

with Dr. G, but his stools were never normal (better than when on diary by

far, but not normal). When we got our food screen results back (very bad)

Dr. G. told us to eliminate all these other foods, and a few mos. later his

poops started looking better. Now they're actually solidish and regular.

Its a tough diet but you actually get used to it, just like everything else

with . we probably eat too much carbs sometimes, tho.

Jo and Grant and Family,

While grateful to know that all the kids in the immediate family are doing

alright, I felt just awful when I read about the illness and health problems

other family members are coping with. At this time of year, especially, when

we'd hope that everyone would be feeling their best and able to enjoy spending

time with one another. I'm so sorry that things are not going well. I am sending

warm thoughts and hoping that very soon we will hear an update ~ with at least

some bit of positive news.

Aloha,

Georgina

support please

We ask for your Prayers, positive thoughts, or whatever it is you do-

as we're not having a great run right now.

Without going into too much detail, we've had 4 family members in

hospital in the past 3-4 weeks. Jo's mum and sister, plus Grant's

father and mother- his mum collapsing on Christmas Day.

Bayly, thankfully, is ok. So too Violet and .

So please, think of us.

Hope all is well with you and yours, Best wishes for the New Year.
