Guest guest Posted August 19, 2001 Report Share Posted August 19, 2001 Hi all. I just started my kids on the GFCF diet this week. We have been mostly dairy free for a month (didnt pay close attention to labels, but took out big stuff), but this week have been sticking to stuff on food list that is 100% GFCF except Rice Dream which we didnt realize wasnt GF until yesterday. Anyway, my 2 yr olds excema started looking better until Friday, when he broke out all over with severe excema. It had started to clear up after eliminating the dairy a month ago. Three things happened on Thursday and Friday that may have caused the excema, but not sure which one: (besides getting over a bad cold that he had all week) 1. gave him orange juice with calcium (may have been his first time having OJ, my DH cant remember if he has given it to him before, and I know I haven't) 2. started Animal Parade Calcium Supplements which he has never had before (the vanilla sundae flavor that is listed in the GFCF food list) 3. had a Soy Shake (vanilla almond flavor) that he had never had before but which I confirmed with the company is GFCF This child is a juice child. Never really liked to drink milk before diet, although he would drink it if we gave him no other choice. He hates rice milk and soy milk, will tolerate the Soy Shake in little bits if really thirsty, and will tolerate water at times. Mostly cries and screams for juice (not orange juice - usually juicy juice, or other store brand juicy juice. - by the way are all 100% juices safe or can some have gluten or casein - havent been checking) I am running out of ideas of stuff to give him to drink. The other day I tried soda and he hated it. I know too much juice is bad, and if the OJ is giving him the excema, he cant have that for the calcium, so what does that leave for drinks and for calcium?
