Subject: Lots more questions

[Guest guest]

Sorry I do not have any answers for your medical part of your posting..

I am going through the same questions my self.. But as far as he

snacks.. I think I have those down packed for NOW..

Snacks were hard for us to implement too.

This is what my son loves.. I give him any his CEREAL DRY (the Amazon

Crunch cereals) as snacks. I pack them in the zip lock bags when we go

out.. Nice and crunchy..

There are several flavors, I do not know what you son can tolerate.. My

son loved the Corn Flakes.. But at the moment we are not able to give

him corn..

He also loves the New Morning Cocoa Rice crispies as a snack. You can

make your own rice crispy snacks with honey (the receipe is on the box

of that cereal)

He also loves the Cool Fruits Fruit snacks (fruit roll up/gummi

alternative for us)

There are many pre made cookie mixes if you are not a great baker.. I

know I AM NOT..

and LOVE when I find things that are already made..

Just check the ingredients to make sure he could have the things listed.

As well as pre made breads (again, check the lables..) I cannot make a

loaf a bread if my life depended on it.. REALLY because I cant put

ANYTHING in my sons food, not even yeast/salt/egg/corn..GFCF.. I mean

how the heck do you make bread without this stuff?

So ENergy Breads help out alot since they have yeast free salt free

ready made breads..

OH! And when he could eat the VANS GFCF Waffles..he LOVED those..

I think it is MORE visual than anything to them..

My son would refuse foods and he wouldnt even TRY them ..just by looking

at them he turned his nose up..

But when you promote a bit of HUNGER (if he refuses to eat the foods..

that YOU KNOW by YOU taste testing he WOULD LIKE IT IF HE JUST TRIED

IT.. Just take the foods away, and try again a little later..) Do not

give in .. as he will learn, that once he refuses he will make a fit the

second time around to get you back in the kitchen whipping up something

" he might eat.. "

I know I learned the hard way.. when I spent the 1st week, like a mad

woman figuring out what he would eat..I had pots, pans, flour EVERY

WHERE.. I was a wreck..

OH! He also like small silver dollar pancakes as an alternative too..

Hope this helps

4. I need more ideas for snack food. He does not like much of

anything I give him. Fruit is not a favorite, I cant make any decent

bread, and he has an adversion to even the smell of peanut butter or

nuts. He eats small amount of chips, and popcorn. Everytime I find

something I think he will eat, it ends up being a no no.

Please, I am desperate and I dont have a clue.
