Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Sorry it's not totally related, but I have a food question as well. My son's food allergy panel just came back from Dr. G and it showed every food at least somewhere on the low bar, a couple on the moderate, and three on the avoid bar. Gluten was on the moderate bar though Dr. G did not mention removing gluten. Do parents only remove the items in the avoid column or those on the moderate as well? The bar above the moderate section says " not safe " . Thank you, Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 We avoid gluten even though it's moderate unless he gets a sandwhich then we use a highly processed bread. We completely avoid casien as my son still shows highly allergic and he has not had any in over 3 years. Laureen Thumb typed - typos will be a plenty!

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Colleen, The food panels are very individualized. There might be a food that comes back reactive and he might say not to worry about it. That happened to us... I remember that he said not to worry about eggs unless our child had eczema. He knows which foods tend to push our kids¹ immune systems in the wrong direction. Some foods are more hard and fast... such as cow¹s milk. As a general rule, cow¹s milk is out. He does not usually have kids remove gluten... but some of his patients are gluten free. Have you had a phone consultation since then? He¹ll probably discuss it with you at that point. So there may be things that come back reactive that you won¹t have to remove, and some that aren¹t that high that you will have to remove. At first, our son was fine with goat milk, but then a while later we retested him and it had shot way up, so we had to remove that then. I remember him saying something about some foods being sort of false positives... can¹t quite remember that conversation, though. Anyway, hope that helps (I know... clear as mud!)...

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Even though highly processed white flours are “allowed”, Dr. G always emphasizes to me that all carbs should be minimal. He would not be happy with a big bowl of pasta or slices of toast, even if they are made from processed white flour.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Kristy One of the reasons for low carbs is sugar. cards breakdown to sugar and a total count of carbs and sugar should be considered, excessive sugar in any form is definitely bad, yesterdays pasta is todays hyperactivity!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have to remind myself when I'm having to battle the kids on their sweets, and the pasta (our biggest fight) that insulin stimulates inflammatory cytokines... when we're giving too many carbs and sugar, we're literally promoting inflammation. ________________________________ From: Bill klimas <klimas_bill@...> Sent: Sun, January 31, 2010 8:37:53 PM Subject: RE: Re:baby food schedule  Kristy One of the reasons for low carbs is sugar. cards breakdown to sugar and a total count of carbs and sugar should be considered, excessive sugar in any form is definitely bad, yesterdays pasta is todays hyperactivity!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 This is a constant struggle for us as well. It's so true that our bodies seem to crave the very things that are bad for us. My youngest would eat nothing but carbs if you let him. The only protein source he seems to like these days is peanut butter, but we have to limit that. It can definitely be frustrating!
