Re: Confused about diet - long

[Guest guest]

In short no cow dairy, so no processed foods.  We use goat products; cheese,

milk, yogourt.  You can use peter pan creamy peanut butter, it goes well with

apple slices, bannannas... Try beef jerky, lean meats, bacon, carrots.  We have

not cut out the carbs entirely, but we limit them.  A plus of the diet is you

can eat white rice and wonder bread in small quantities.  Hope this helps.

Hi Guys,

I posted a few weeks back with introductions and background. My son has his

first appointment with Dr. G in April and I'm trying to get a head start by

taking him off of all DAN supplements and switching from GF/CF to the diet.

I am probably making this harder than it needs to be coming from so many years

GF/CF, but I am confused on a few things…. mainly dairy.

In the book and on his website he says no dairy then explains it as " no dairy in

the main ingredients " . Under GF/CF rules that would exclude anything that had

ANY dairy in the ingredients. Is this true for ? Take for example a soup I

have has milk listed as ingredient number six, or a rice side (white) has butter

down in the list of ingredients. Are these foods ok??

Also, in the book he talks about lowering the amount of carbs because they turn

to sugar and focus more on getting protein in them.

I'm in desperate need for suggestions for afternoon snacks for my son. His

snacks consist of potato chips, pretzels, rice chips, tortilla chips, cereal

bars or peanut butter crackers. See the carb theme? I know peanut butter is

protein but does Dr. G allow it since he is against nuts. Can't give fruit

because Dr. G. only wants 2 servings. How do I cut the carbs and replace with

more protein?

Sorry for the bombardment of questions! I just want to do this correctly. My son

has been resisted in his diet basically his entire life and if I start giving

him things he's never had before just to realize I was wrong and have to take it

away again...it will be UGLY!

Thanks for all of your suggestions.

He is what Dr. G has us to (same with everyone):

No cow mild (in any quantity)... we use goat milk & yougurt

No " Gluten-Free " bread as they contain grains that Dr. G thinks are as

allergenic as wheat. (no grains but occasionally white rice & You can use Wonder

Bread, 2 slices a day)

Only -pan peanut butter

Rice Crispies for breakfast

Lots of meat and vegetables.. at first a struggle but now thats what our son

east

dessert: goat yogurt with stevia

2 pieces of fruit a day

we dont do corn chips, but potatoe chips

My son sees Dr. G. He can have peanut butter about once/year otherwise he

gets a warty-looking rash on his elbows.

He was getting small quantities of processed white flour but now I have him

off all grains because he had dark circles and I couldn't figure out what

else could be causing them.

Dessert is a small scoop of lemon sorbet.

Hi Lori,

When my 8 y.o.'s get home from school, they are starving! Their school lunch

is 3.5 hours before they get home.so they've had time to work up an

appetite. Snacks include nitrite-free hot dogs, apple slices with " fried "

goat's milk pecorino (grate about half a golf-ball, then microwave for 30

seconds on a pyrex-type dish), grilled chicken strips and carrot sticks or

veggie chips or " baked " French fries, potato chips.it's kind of a mini meal

but we call it a snack. Once/week we go straight from school to 2 hour of OT

and ST so I drive through Mcs, In N Out or somewhere like that and get

him a plain double burger and fries but don't give him the bun.

I'm working on everyone in my family eating low glycemic.it's

anti-inflammatory and just much healthier.
