Hi everyone, I just got done typing up my letter and printing it out for

LJs new class in September, and I figured I'd post it here too to give an

idea to whoever may need it. I did put my phone # on the bottom of the

paper for school, but for obvious reasons I am taking it off for the

sites here. I think it is important that the teacher and aides be made

aware of this, I verbally tell them too, and then they have this letter

to remind them. I make enough copies for everyone.

Hi, I am Marino - LJ's mom- and I am writing this very important

letter to let you and everyone who works with my son and has contact with

LJ, be aware of the very special diet that he is on. LJ is to eat

nothing but only what I send in with him. He is on a GFCF (gluten

free/casein free) diet, also no artificial colors, artificial flavors or

preservatives. He also has allergies to certain foods, which I also

totally eliminated . And I rotate into his diet 2 items which he has

only a class 1 allergy to.

The basic GFCF diet also means that cross contamination can be very

harmful to LJ also. What this means is that LJ can not be handed

something from someone that was just munching out on a devil dog and has

traces of this on their hands, and thus LJ will get these gluten

molecules into him, causing reactions (sometimes severe). He can not

have a sandwich cut with a knife that just cut someone elses sandwich.

Any little bit can hurt.

I will send all breakfast food and drink in every morning. I will send

in his complete lunch and beverage daily also. All lunchboxes will

clearly have his name on it. I will provide ALL food reinforcers for LJ,

(he does prefer break play time or toys I send in as a reinforcer), but I

will still send in food reinforcers incase he's hungry or just wants to

snack some. I have replacements for most food, so as he still will

appear to be eating as others do, only all his is special - he has

popcorn (air popped), special cakes and cookies, special candies, his

favorite bread is made of millet, and 2 times a month he can have his

special cheese. Just because you see LJ eating chips, doesn't mean he

can have any other chips - only the ones I send in. All is food will be

in thermos or containers. Please do not heat anything up that I send in.

Believe it or not, you can cross contaminate from toaster ovens and

micros. LJ is very use to this diet and should eat well without

complaints.

Fortunately there are store made beverages (certain ones) that he can

have (most Capri Sun and most Minute maid and Juicy Juice), so that makes

it a little easier for me.

I eat at home as he does to avoid any problems with the food. Our pasta

is made from rice and also we have a lentil bean pasta. LJ only eats

chicken, hen, duck or turkey for his meats also. I make GREAT lasagna,

awesome meatballs and a mean stuffed meatloaf - all without beef!!!!!

Thanks for reading this, if there are ever any questions about his diet

please call me (631) -
