HI

Oooh let me know how this study goes

Sara must be the odd one lol she doesn't prefer salty over sweets or sweets

over salty ........... if she was in control of her diet it would consist of

pasta and bread. Now that she's 13 when she's hungry she will go into the

kitchen and grab her some bread, then look in the frig for pasta salad lol

Ive noticed she prefers fast food or processed stuff like hot-dogs or

bologna but she will eat any meat that I cook .......... she's asks for eggs,

chicken legs and meatballs a lot lol she's not a chip eater or cookie eater (I

try

to keep those out of the house lol) I have her trained now to ask for diet

coke when ordering out .............. her only access to coke lol

I think a lot of this is her age, she eats what her family eats and her

friends that come here. The only salted foods that she really is exposed to is

popcorn and she eats that only with her friends after school or at the movies

with dad.

Im really going to push raw veggies on her this year, she's not a salad

eater either (sensory I think) I know she wants to snack so why not on celery or

cauliflower, my favs

My Breezy loves all salty things. She loves shrimp, taquitos, corn ships

with salsa. She really does not like sweets with the exception of Little Debbie

oatmeal cookies and vanilla ices cream sandwiches. She drinks Dr. Pepper as

her fav soda. She is a real lover of Chinese food. I think that she makes

some good selections when we eat out she loves salad and veggies. But then

again

it is with ranch dressing. So there you go. Have a blessed day, Gwen

Hi

That is interesting. But some people are diabetics and never ate sweets in

their whole life! And some people have panic attacks and never worried

about anything in their whole life! Sometimes I believe it is just the way

our bodies are made up.

Of course, as we found out with , so many things have gluten in them.

Even shampoo, bubble bath, envelopes, postage stamps, etc.

The only kind of chips he can eat are plain Lays. And the only candy is

Snickers, gummy worms, and Skittles. All the rest have gluten according to

our dietician.

And you probably know of cross contamination. can eat an egg, but if

the egg has even touched a piece of toast or bread, it has been contaminated

and contains gluten!

It's a challenge but what has worked best for (he has gained 22 lbs.

and got over the chronic anemia which came with the celiac) is strict meat,

fruit, vegetables, and some dairy.

Have a great day. And everyone out there, if your child or someone else you

know has celiac, the only treatment is diet. It does not go away otherwise

and there are no medications for it.

12 different diagnoses) and (Cri du chat and 5 different neurological

Hi

touch candy any more and can't eat much candy. Kristi does like an

occasional piece of chocolate but very rarely.

Three votes for salty.

Isaac definitely prefers salty.....anything with ketchup......and the occasional

handful of M & M's or plain Hershey's chocolate. He is still a very picky eater,

eating only a limited amount of items, but school lunch is helping change that

since he sees his peers eating different foods.

Apparently not....Noah will make ketchup sandwiches one after another if I'm not

monitoring the kitchen. A " hotdog " is long bun and ketchup, a " hamburger " is

round bun and...ketchup! Meat does NOT cross his lips. He also never met a

donut that wasn't calling his name, loves pizza and ice cream so he doesn't lean

either way.

Sadly, he has to have another tooth pulled this morning (abscessed molar, PLEASE

don't say another word about how kids with DS don't get cavities!!!!!) Every

morning when he jumps out of the car at school he tells me the day of the week.

The only thing he will eat at school is Pizza, and they have it on Fridays, so

he always says, " Friday, Pizza day! " I didn't have the heart to tell him he

wouldn't be eating pizza for lunch today...:-(

Please pray for his peace and understanding at the dentist today, and for

compassion and gentle hands for all who will work on him.

thanks

We have just come back from the supermarket with a bag of Trent's shopping -

full of sweet things - he seems to love buying chocolate frogs and other

lollies but seldom eats them. Like the others he enjoys more - twisties and

chips. Ice-cream and desserts are picked at give him a tomato sauce

(ketchup) sandwich and he is very happy. Watermelon and oranges are

probably he most favourite of fruits. He has been brainwashed into drinking

Coke - again always into buying, then because we have it we all have to have

a drink - no keeping any for later - but happily drinks juices.

Keep smiling
