We generally recommend to start with the intro diet for a few days and

then adding progressively more complex to digest foods

But if you can't (child just won't eat, allergic etc.) then using the

easiest to digest foods that they will eat is the second best thing to

do.

There is a dairy free bread recipe at

http://pecanbread.com/recipes.html

along with some pancake and flatbread recips

Nut free dairy free bread recipe at

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pecanbread/files/ (which my son

loves - it is very light). You can use these to make sandwiches to

take to school. Homemade jam (sweetened with honey if needed) is

pretty easy to make. There is a recipe at the link above

under " Miscellaneous " , more at

http://www.scdrecipe.com/r_023_00007.html

and also in BTVC book.

Although homemade fruit leather is legal it isn't generally

recommended for newbies because it is concentrated and can feed the

gut bugs you are trying to starve out. Hw about homemade applesauce

or pearsauce for school lunches.

You can make nut crackers in small pieces to replace the cheerios.
