As you can see, it's very limited, especially for a 17

month old baby. I can see an adult being able to do

this, but two days out of the diet, he can only drink

tea. How crazy is that? And I can safely say that I

would have to drive 3 hours, roundtrip, to even try to

find half of the things that he can eat. More input?

Hi

I have not really looked at these specific foods, but your doctor may

be trying to group specific foods together because they belong to the

same or similar food families. You can get information on food

families and a specific rotation example, from this other diet site

that includes a very strict food-family rotation, if you would like

that.

http://www.specialfoods.com/

Some people believe that eating certain foods/vitamins/etc together

help with the maximum absorption and benefit of each foods nutritional

value, and do not compromise that benefit by eating certain things

with other things that may possibly inhibit the absorption, so that

could also be a reason.

I rotated all my child's foods for a very long time, not just the

grains but everything. It helped him not develop new reactions, plus

it made it easier for me to find other problem foods. Here is my

information on rotation diets in general.

http://home.pacbell.net/cscomp/rotation.htm

I would ask your doctor the specific reasons why you cannot use the

tomato with the pasta, for example. Then you can decide for yourself,

whether you want to follow the doctor's advice and rotate these exact

foods on these exact days, or do something different that sounds

better or at least more manageable to you.
