My 4 and 2 year olds both have CMPI, both identified very early and managed well with very little accidental exposure.
DS has been at the same nursery since he was 10 months, he's now 4.2. He's always loved it and his behaviour has never been a concern.
Equally at home he has never shown any behaviour issues around food, apart from very normal fussiness.
His keyworker emailed me yesterday to say he has started to become really anxious about the food they give him, demanding to see the packet and "check" (he can't read) that it's dairy free. He had a total meltdown yesterday when a new staff member have him some soya cheese because he said he didn't trust her.
I'm really worried that this could start real food issues for him, especially as he starts school in September.
I try to be very relaxed around food at home, even telling him that if he wants to try something with dairy in, he can, and we'll see how he is. His reactions are gastro related so no risk of anything too awful.
I'm vegan but DH and kids aren't and I never push it or go into any detail about why unless he asks which is rarely, so I hope that's not related.
The only other thing I can think of is that a long standing staff member left nursery recently and he says he misses her, but I don't know if there is a link.
I want to get this right because I would hate to set up a long term problem. Any advice greatly appreciated.
