Severe diet limitations and acidophilus

July 13, 2001

I would like to get opinions on the rotation diet that

Dr. Baptist recommended for my son yesterday.

had an ELISA sent to Alletess, and their

dietician worked up a diet for him. Then Dr. Baptist

went back through it and scratched off about half of

the foods that they recommended, due to 's

scratch test results. To add to the problem, about

half of the foods that were left, he's never even had,

so he may have reactions to them anyway. So this diet

from the dietician, it is a four day rotation diet,

and has a list of foods for the first day, second day,

and so forth. I thought people only rotated grains,

but this rotates EVERYTHING. Any one food, no matter

what it is, can only be eaten once every four days.

And the way they have these grouped, it's maddenning!

One day, the only grain that he can have is quinoa,

and I can only get that in pasta form, but he can't

have any spaghetti sauce on it because tomato is on a

different day. I don't know if I can handle this!

And I don't know if we can afford it, either! Is this

wierd, or are there other people who are rotating

everything? If there are, is it okay to switch things

around, like change days for the tomato? I am going

to go insane. That's why I haven't slept all night

and am up at 5 a.m. on the computer.

Another thing, we got his stool culture back, and he

had a serious yeast problem. Keep in mind that he is

17 months old. His Dr. recommended a 10 billion dose

of Powerdophilus, but they didn't have that in powder

form, so I got Primadophilus Children, and in order to

give him 10 billion, I have to give him almost 7

teaspoons every night. That sounds like a lot to me.

Anyone else?

Thanks for all your input,

Crazy in Missouri
