Confused about diet - long

[Guest guest]

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.
