OK so DS can't have dairy but I've worked out how to work with that (almond nut flours - he adores my baking ) Gotta be a bit crafty as schools round here are bit intrusive due to the healthy eating initiative and I don't want them to start demanding a standard packed lunch or that he has school dinners (tried them and he was left sobbing with hunger in the pm's).
He's 7 but needs adult size portions and like me burns it off, trouble is I have to make it items he can eat in a hurry for school due to them only getting 15-20 mins to eat lunch. At home he can take an hour for his meal so his co-ordiantion issues aren't a problem.
I'd like to try this properly for 12 months after Xmas, starting with the intro diet but am totally stumped for school lunches in the introductory phase. No way would a nice broth pass muster in his eyes - he's a kid that like's his "stodge" to fill him up. Also he just hasn't got the co-ordination skills to open a flask and eat a soup at lunch without my having to buy a new uniform at the end of the first week.
If I give him "solid food" in the form of meat and veggies does this destroy the Intro diet goals totally? Or would it be better to start in the school summer holidays when broth for lunch won't be such a big deal. How important is the Intro phase - the whole thing seems such a faff that if I'm gonna do it, I'd like to try and do it properly iykwim.
