Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I'm having a hard time understanding why cereals with high fructose corn syrup and other refined sugars are better for our children than whole grains with no added sugar? Is it because the whole grains are harder to digest and process? Kristy Cereals I thought I would pass this along. Dr G told us to take bran out of our son's diet. This is in the crunchy corn bran cereal he eats. 9 months ago Dr G did not have a problem with it but now wants us to remove....easier cereals like rice crispies and corn flakes only. Thought I'd share! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 My understanding is that he doesn't really like sugars and would prefer they didn't have them so you can certainly go with a less offending rice crispies or corn flakes like the ones from WF. Whole grains are more allergenic than processed grains so he prefers processed grains to reduce reaction. I'm actually going to be talking to him about diet next week at our appointment. I got a call today saying that rice, rice milk, soy smoothies and pancakes were not okay after sending in our food diary 1.5 weeks ago and I don't really understand that. I don't understand why soy yogurt and soy milk are okay but soy smoothies aren't - especially since it's not berry or tropical fruit flavored. So I'm pretty confused. And last week pancakes were okay but for whatever reason, today they aren't. So I don't know. I think he's going to find it hard for many of us to follow a diet when we don't know the rules and the rules keep changing from week to week! The diet is so loosely written that I don't know what's okay and what's not. The only thing I know for sure is no dairy. I even specifically asked the girls in the office if we were supposed to go full on casein free and they really had no clue what I was talking about. They just kept repeating no dairy. But then there are things with dairy, casein or whey that are okay. So I have no idea. I've just stuck to no cheese, no milk, no ice cream - the obviously dairy stuff - and no goldfish or any type of cracker/chip with cheese flavoring. I definitely need clarification, myself, so I'm certainly not one that can be trusted to explain anything!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Cheryl, If you happen to call the office and Lauri (Lori?) is there, she is probably the one there who can best answer your questions (other than Dr. G, of course). Many of the others in the office are relatively new. She worked for Dr. G for years, then quit to be home with her daughter, but she is coming back to work for him part time.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Laurie is in the office Tuesdays and Thursdays Re cereals and diet....remember every child reacts differently to different foods. Whole wheat and similar are more difficult to digest and some kids are more reactive to that than to more processed gluten products. Brown rice is another. Dr G might allow something for a while to see if the immune system is improving - if not he might target other possible offending foods. The child may not actually be 'allergic' in the true sense of the the word - but his/her immune system reacts or 'thinks' they are allergic - this is why its so tricky getting diet cleaned up - and what is true for one child, may not be for another.
