Diet

[Guest guest]

That sounds REALLY good. I thought I should tell you though that Dr.

Goldberg has all of the kids eliminate all berries in the ³basic²

diet,

and then, in addition, told us that honey was a no-no for my son when his

eosinophils crept up a bit (he had us write down his diet for a week...

there was some bread he ate that had a little honey in it). I don¹t know

if

the removing honey is for all of his patients or just my little one, but

evidently it can be a problem for some kids. I hadn¹t really worried about

it before, but then I thought, well I guess it is sort of made of pollen,

so

I guess it could cause problems in some people.

I feel bad posting this because there are days when I want to run

screaming

from the house because I¹m so tired of ³doing the diet² and I feel like if

I

have to take out one more thing, I¹ll go crazy. And my little guy is the

one with the adventurous palate... he loves everything... and he really

feels sad about what he can¹t have. Such is life, I suppose.

Don't make yourself crazy with the diet. Just eliminate the big triggers for

your child. The first I heard of eliminating berries and tropical fruit was a

week ago. For Seventeen years has eaten these. I was strick on the diet

at home, but if it came to making my child feel different at school or letting

him have an offending food, I always thought it was more important for him to

feel like everyone else. When it was someone's bday and cupcakes were given, he

had them. We just swam or exercised a little more to get it out of his system.

The diet can drive you insane if you let it.
