ROTATION DIET... PLEASE GIVE AN EXAMPLE

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I got the last results of my son's IgG food sensitivities test. He is so much

better I can't be happier, still sensitive to bananas and sacharomises

cerevisaei since taking the s. boulardi.

I do know that many foods are just false negatives, meaning that if he eats them

again he will get sensitive to them again or react to them as he did before, and

that is why I'm not giving them, so I'm being cautious now, I also gave him many

foods before the test on purpose(including many that he was very sensitive

before) so I could see if his leaking gut was any better, and indeed it is much

better as they didn't appear in the test. He no longer has bloated belly

anymore, and that makes me very happy!

Now I'd like to keep it that way and not make him sensitive to other foods, like

when I first change his diet to GFCF and he became sensitive to many foods that

he was ok before like rice, potatoes and corn just to mention a few.

I'm interest now in a rotating diet, wich I understand helps to avoid food

sensitivities, but I don't have much idea how to implement it. Could someone

please give an example of a rotating diet?? like breakfast, snacks and lunch,

and of course dinner for every day or for the days it take to make it a rotation

diet? I know that depends on the sensitivities but we can make it individual and

change whatever it needs to be change, right?

Thanks so much for your time and help.

Hi Sasha-

We've been doing a 4 day rotation diet here for a couple of years. One good

reference we've used is a book by Sondra called Allergy and Candida

Cooking. In it she has food lists for a 4 day rotation diet. THere are MANY

recipes in here as well, and they are all coded for the 4 day rotation list she

has in the book, so if you can follow that pretty well, it makes it pretty easy.

You can obviously modify as you need to for sensitivities and allergies. What I

do is I have a main meat/protein option each day that we work with (or I have a

few additional ones I rotate in occasionally), so for instance, Day 1 for us is

Free Range Chicken, day 2 is Grass Fed Beef, day 3 is Turkey or very occasional

wild caught Salmon, day 4 is Pork or Lamb or goat. Then I have veggies that

rotate as well, a list for each day. There are lists in this book also (and I'm

sure there are some you could google) which indicate which foods are related and

how closely, so you don't eat foods from closely related species too frequently.

Some people put colored dots on food containers in the fridge so everyone knows

which things are ok to eat on which days, etc. We do a lot of cooking ahead

here, too, so having things premade that you can rotate is a good strategy too.

What has worked for us is to have our " day " start at say 5pm or right before

dinner each day. Then if there are leftovers from dinner, they can be eaten at

lunch (or breakfast) the following day, either as is, or in a different dish.

It seems to make it a lot easier once you get used to it.

The other thing I do is make breakfast the night before (or two nights before if

I need to). One of my kids likes soup for breakfast, so that's an easy do ahead

option, too. We are doing SCD, watching oxalates, and GFCFSFCF as well, and

have sensitivities as well as IgE allergies to work with, so it can get tricky.

For breakfast, we have a combo of meat and veggies, so making it ahead and just

popping it in the toaster oven in the am for 20 minutes helps a lot with trying

to get everyone out the door on time in the am.

Our diet is pretty specialized, but you are welcome to contact me off list if

you are interested in sample menus for a day, etc.

Hope this helps!

I am just curious how old all your kids are. I have a 3yo on the spectrum

extremely picky who has so many food sensitivities and a 2yo ND ( who has

several IgG sensitivities also ) who is getting pickier by the day... I have

tried to establish a rotation diet but so far, it's not working. One can have

rice, the other can't. One will eat potatoes, the other won't... When we

eliminate everything that we all can't have our diet consists of beans, berries,

chicken, pork, rice, potatoes. I find myself frying a lot of things so they get

eaten... and I hate that. I have been ordering books but I have very little

time to read, I am in the kitchen or taking care of the kids all day long. I am

exausted and I feel like my oldest is developping new sensitivities ( he refuses

to eat corn by it self now but we eat corn and quinoa pasta and everytime he has

corn he has urinairy incontinence )I feel a little discouraged, I wish I owned a

lab !

Mine is almost 5 and a half and 43 lb.I know it's hard.Fried food is not so bad, it is actually a great way to give them oils, use healthier oils and it is perfect, I had to stop fish oil here as my son was vomiting every time he had it and replaced it with more fried food so he would get his fats, and it turned out great, another way of getting them to eat other foods is in shakes (licuados), like quinoa with banana and hemp milk, blend and it is a great "milk shake" or try other mixes.Try opening a post for suggestions on how to get rid of food sensitivities and you'll get a ton of advise. I did read a lot of the posts and it just got better for me, but it wasn't in one day, it took about 2 years, and still is not completely over.

I did learn that healing the intestines is the best way to stop the sensitivities, other parents are seeing great results with other things.Hang in there, it gets better!Sasha To: mb12valtrex Sent: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 8:36:01 AM Subject: Re: ROTATION DIET... PLEASE GIVE AN EXAMPLE

Mine are now almost 10 (PDD-NOS guy) and almost 6, both boys. I have actually

more trouble with my almost 6 year old being picky. It's been a long road for

us so far, too, and exhausting. I found my guy got less picky once we went SCD,

also that helped with his sensitive gag reflex.

I pretty much had to look at their food sensitivities and allergies and overlay

SCD and low oxalate and see what was left. Our diet is limited, but actually we

eat a wide variety of things in the vegetable and meat categories. Smoothies

were big here for a while (my 6 yo will only do fruit, but my 10 yo will do

veggie smoothies with avocado).

I've done a lot of grinding up veggies (or meats or whatever) and adding to

meatballs, muffins, pancakes, etc. to get them in.
