Hi everyone- some of you may remember reading about my son Ryan a couple of months back- The suggestions some of you gave were to see an allergist--I did---test came back---no milk - no soy -- no eggs--no wheat-no nuts--- now I really need your help moms--- Give me ideas to feed Ryan---- He is now 17 months--- The pediatrician finally agreed to refer him and his idea for a derm. doctor with her bleach water idea - total disaster-

What can I do next?

Have you thought about Chiropractic. It could be that his nervous system is subluxated. If you give the brain the proper flow of information, the body can be self healing.

You should call Dr. Andrew Smith in Palm Beach Gardens. He is great with all ages. ###-###-####

Check into Ezekiel bread, it's made with sprouted wheat so supposedly it won't have the wheat allery-they have a cinnamon raisin that was pretty good, it is a bit hardy though. I have seen pasta made with rice and bread too I believe. Are you still nursing? You've probably tried rice milk. I don't know if that is good for drinking per se but maybe good for cereal. Sesame seeds are one of the highest sources of calcium and you can buy organic seeds and put them in a grinder, like a coffee grinder but buy one just for this purpose and sprinkle the powder in his foods(start small and add a little at a time) or add them to his cereal. You can also make oat flour from oatmeal and make some types of bread without wheat.

Real maple syrup has more calcium than cow's milk, ounce per ounce. Use this as a sweetener when you can. I make oatmeal with maple syryp for my 16month old twins all the time.

This must seem so overwhelming to you right now but hopefully with a little ingenuity you'll have some meal plans going for your little guy.
Good luck to you,

rzekiel bread is made with sprouted wheat so if you have wheat allergy supposedly you can still eat this bread. It's kind of hearty but they did have a cinnamon raisin that was okay.

Good Evening L.,

I found this information on www.onestepahead.com they have an allergy cookbook for sale. Here is the information on the cookbook below. Also I would try rice milk.

It's tough having food allergies, but with this wonderful cookbook, your child can eat just like everyone else! Includes more than 150 delicious recipes, all free of wheat, gluten, dairy, nuts, and eggs (and low in sugar, too). Find granola bars, mock goldfish crackers, pizza, chicken nuggets, even "Oh-Whee-Oh" cookies. Includes safe brand lists and shopping tips. Soft cover, 224 pages.
I hope this gives you some new ideas that work.

Take Care,

J.

I have a son with a life threatening allergy to milk. We have lived with this for 14 years. There is a great organization for people with food allergies- The Food Allergy Network. There are recipes for different allergen free diets and they have a monthly newsletter. To join is very inexpensive and worth every penny. Check them out- www.foodallergy.org

How about legumes, vegetables, fruits, wild salmon, organic chicken, gluten-free/spelt bread and pasta, almond and rice milk?...you need to shop in a health food store like Whole Foods or Economy Nutrition where you can find more gluten-free items.

You might want to verify if the soy he is allergic to is the genetically modified version. Most people who have allergies to soy are allergic to GMO soy, not organic soy.

For recipe ideas check out vegan cookbooks like "La Dolce Vegan" or "Planet Vegan". You might want to join Whole Food's "Gluten Free" group that meets monthly. Call the store for more info.

Hope that helps :)

i dont have much more advice thanthe other moms.. but I do offer so much support!.. I am almost to a year of eliminating Nuts beans shellfish from our diet (me and my boys)and I'm lactose intollerant... I can tell you... our meals are now very interesting. i have learned how to take favorite recipies and eliminate or replace ingredients... and at first i cried our of sheer frustration... but!!!! there are some wonderfull cook books you can probably borrow from the library. The one thing that helped me tremendously was making a list of things me and the kids can eat... the list was longer than nuts beans shellfish and milk products. And I started a garden withthe kids... there happier eating foods they grow and have more respect for food in the grocery store. It takes us months to grow a cucumber so my 3 year old dosnt try t throw them in the store! much hugs... you will eventualy find foods he will love and have the most interesting recipies on the block!!!

that website is expensive but very helpful.. it tells you all allergens in a product.. what you can do if it is too costley or you dont like to order on line is browse it make a kist and then go to adas in ft myers and see what you can find from your list.. also amazon is having a great sale right now.. i have found allot of gfcf foods.. allot are also soy free.. at adas i usally spend 50 buks every 2 weeks.. but i spent 100 and i think i have enough staples for 6 weeks ..... allot of stuff is marked gluten free so then you need to go back and see if your other allergens are not there as well .... huggs

Check out Ian's Natural Foods. It's a brand I found at Super Target, but Publix also carries it. Google "Ian's Natural" and the site will pop up and you can check it out. They have products like nuggets and fish sticks and fries that are all natural, preservative free, no soy, dairy, etc. My daughter has no allergies, but I feed her the nuggets and ABC fries and fish sticks and she LOVES THEM.
