FRUSTRATED...I NEED SOMETHING FOR MY KID TO EAT

[Guest guest]

My son is 4.8 y.o. and has been on the GFCF diet for 15 months. He

can't have the obvious of gluten, casein and also tested intolerant to

soy, eggs, olive oil, peanuts, tomatoes, air...just kidding on that

last one. For a year all he ate was homemade french fries and

sometimes chicken or hot dogs. He finally is sick of the fries. On

occassion he will eat GFCF pancakes, corn chips, corn pops and rice

cakes. He lives on rice milk. He also can't tolerate any yeast as he

has constant yeast problems which we're always treating. He also can't

have any dyes. He is MAJOR oral sensitive and visually he has to

check everything out. He acts like I'm suggesting he eat fire when I

come at him with anything new. We do alot of interventions including

mercury chelation, FGF treatments and ABA but this food issue is the

most difficult and most frustrating. We also have nothing to work

with him during therapy. He's not interested in toys so it's either

food or videos and of course there is no food we can give him. Can

you tell I'm frustrated beyond belief? I am looking for those of you

with the most sensitive, intolerant and finicky of eaters to help me

with some ideas on what to feed him.

Please post to me privately if you would because I am so far behind on

list. Also I could use a good ear infection remedy. A million thanks.

Hey Penny,

I hear your frustration and I live it. My son is not just intolerant

to most foods, he is actually allergic. As for the air, he is allergic

to that too!!! My son eats the same thing everyday. He usually skips

breakfast. but on the rare occasion that he eats, I give him dry

cereal(he likes the crunch). We use Rice crunch ems, gorilla munch and

amazon flakes. I also tried making him pop tarts once. For lunch he gets

either toast made from Noahs Bread, or a bagel or English muffin made

from mixes and frozen. On top of it, I put some all natural blueberry

jelly. He eats lays potato chips. For dinner, he gets rice pasta with

either homemade or Classico sauce and some form of meat-meatloaf, lamb

chop, ground turkey, ground veal, etc. He eats the rice snap crackers.

He eats for snacks the gourmet rings and potato flyers. He also

will occasionally try an all juice popsicle or raisins. My son only

drinks water. I have made recipes from the list that he likes for snacks

such as the chocolate cake recipe that I made into cupcakes for his

birthday in February and he is still eating them. I also make him

chocolate chip cookies, graham crackers and the chocolate crunch cookies

from miss robens.

Does this help any? My son is very picky and very allergic.
