DS1 (aged 6) is allergic to dairy, eggs, all peas, beans and lentils, banana, cucumber, kiwi and a few other things. We are also still avoiding nuts, although he is waiting for a nut challenge in hospital. He eats:
pasta
soya cream and soya cheese (if hidden in a pasta sauce or on a pizza)
porridge (made with soya)
plain bagels
Jus-rol croissants (dairy free)
digestive biscuits
cheerios
potato waffles
ready salted crisps and plain pringles
sausages (a LOT of sausages)
fishfingers and fishcakes (occasionally but is not keen)
home made bread
tuna pie and tuna sandwiches
Asda smartprice ham (but only in a pie, for some reason)
cooked apple (but not raw)
strawberries (but no other berries, he says they make his mouth feel fizzy)
sultanas and occasionally dried apricots
sweetcorn (in small quantities)
tinned peaches and tinned pear
satsumas and orange juice (although these give him diarrhoea)
melon (although this still gives him occasional hives)
ketchup and tomato puree (but not cooked or fresh tomato)
dairy free chocolate
He won't eat mince, chicken, rice, or any sort of meat in a casserole. He still won't touch carrots, onions, celery, and various other things that used to make him poorly (he has no noticeable reaction to them any more, but can still detect them in tiny quantities in anything I make, so perhaps they are making his mouth uncomfortable). He dislikes any ingredients that he can't clearly separate, perhaps because he feels safer knowing exactly what everything is. I know his diet is rubbish, but it's hard to know how to improve it, especially on a very tight budget.
When he was very little, he reacted to so many things... and he is not used to trying new foods. Also, I don't have the resources to keep on trying things with him that I might have to throw away.
It's hard, isn't it?
