Diet rotation

[Guest guest]

you will know when they eat toomuch. My son became intolerant to rice. He ate

it every day. I had to take itout for 3 months then return it. Now it's fine

but I have become a stickler on the four day rotation.

Okay, another area of panic...diet rotation! I am so worried that my son

is going to develop a food intolerance to rice, soy, potatoes!

I am trying to come up with a food rotation plan, but I have so many

questions and would love to pick your brains about what you do.

Two of the options I am looking at are:

1. 4 day rotation diet ( A. has a great one!)

2. Food free days (like Seroussi...a rice free day, then a potato

free day, then a rice/potato day!)

*my question on this one, is 1 day off of a food group enough of a break

for the body?

I would love to hear your ideas, sample rotation diets, etc.

Have any of your children developed food intolerances? And if so...how did

you know?

Thanks in Advance for all of the great ideas I just know you're going to

pour in...(hee hee)

,

Phenols can be immediate or delayed reactions, and the reactions can vary. They

make my daughter hyper and melt down after a while, for example, while others

report red ears, etc.

I eliminated all foods that my daughter tested allergic for (by RAST blood test

and interdermal skin tests - her skin scratch tests were all negative but made

her wild), and because this left so few foods I never rotated. She quit

developing food intolerances at that point so I never had to eliminate the daily

foods she could tolerate. This worked for us. I can't see feeding a 'low test'

food to a kid knowing they are reacting even a little bit, but that's my idea

and not that of a doctor. I think the rotation idea works better for someone

who has better gut integrity than some of our kids.

They say you need 4 days off of sensitive foods. Doris Rapp, if I remember

correctly, says 3-7 or 10 days, depending on the sensitivity. As to whether you

know when new intolances develop, it's hard to tell when the kid isn't healthy.

I just kept consulting lists of 'bad foods' from all the diets people talk about

and eliminated nearly all of them, with constant improvement. I'm guessing

(don't know) that when you finally quit attacking their gut with bad foods, the

gut will start to heal and no new intolerances will develop.

Now we use a kinesiologist (muscle tester) to determine what my daughter is

allergic to. We muscle test all new supplements on her, and have avoided those

awful bad reactions this way. You can find someone with an electrodermal

machine to do energetic testing too. They can treat food allergies with

energetic means, but I don't know how well that works on strong allergens when

the child's gut is still weak. I still have her avoid the big allergens, like

egg, nuts, etc.

You can go with safe meats and green veggies and beans - no spices - no

additives, preservatives, colors, organic when possible, etc. That's what we

do. This ends up being low phenol, low yeast, low sugar, low grain, good fats

and GFCF. It also means home cooking, usually.
