From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Velma Rodrigues Sent: Friday, July 16, 2010 7:07 PM Subject: Newbie to diet Just seen Dr. G this week. Of course I think of questions AFTER I leave. As if 3+ hours wasn't enough in the office! lol Hoping someone here can chime in... Question about 'Red' Fruits...when Dr. G says no red fruits like cherries, strawberries, watermelon - does that include tomatoes?? Tomatoes are categorized as a fruit and they're red, so to me I say it's a 'no-no' but can anyone confirm? If tomatoes are eliminated, is ketchup out too? Or could this be another peanut vs. peanut butter scenario? Also - I read old archives on bread. Anyone find white bread without High Fructose Corn Syrup?! I'd rather just avoid it than to give him some since he's been off of it for so long already. Same thing for Corn Flakes. Every single one I picked up had HFCS....even the unsweetened ones! Found the goats milk, cheese, yogurt at TJ's....no complaints so far. Thanks in advance! Velma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I really don't know what Dr G would say, but I have an allergic gastritis problem (stomach inflammation in response to foods and some meds). Red food is a trigger, but tomatoes don't set it off, thank goodness. Everything else does - red bell pepper, maybe watermelon, and absolutely any red or pink dye. Anyway, Dr G didn't take ketchup out of my oldest's diet back when, thankfully (because he wouldn't eat any meat without it), but try to keep amounts under control .... it has a lot of sugar in it.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I had the same question on tomatoes and asked Dr G. He said tomatoes are OK until further notice. Yes, they are red but for now, he is allowing tomatoes. The same goes for spaguetti sauce, tomato sauce,etc.  HTH  Karla From: Velma Rodrigues <vel_villalobos@...> Subject: Newbie to diet Date: Friday, July 16, 2010, 7:06 PM  Just seen Dr. G this week.
