Listmates

I just completed a write up of the diet for the support staff at my sons school.

Please run through it and I will add/ subtract the items that are suggested by

this parents group. When it is completed we can post it on the group site for

new parents.

Thanks in advance

Diet

These are the primary items to be excluded from Connor’s diet at “ALL” times:

If you are unsure of any given item or it is not label with ingredients Do Not

Give the food item to Connor.

Note: This is not a fad diet, these are foods that Connor has been tested for

and he has found to be allergic to them. THEY MAKE HIM SICK!!

Do Not Give Connor

Dairy - All milk products – including Lactose Free labeled items

Cheese of any kind: this includes all snack foods that are labeled with any

Cheese flavoring: sour cream, ranch, taco or cheddar flavorings (Read the

ingredients labels - they will ID Milk!) A good rule of thumb is if it is orange

or makes his fingers orange he cannot have it!

Whole Grains This includes many snack foods – No Sun Chips or any snack or

bread,

cracker packages, ETC. that are labeled whole grain

Additionally No multi-grain bread products, most products that are labeled
