Spoke to nutriologist about food intolerance... any suggestions for Wheat/diary/oat/soya/nut/potatoes/egg/onion/fruit free lunches????

Basically that's it, he can't have all the above though he can eat pear, melon and apple. I'm stuck in carbohidraes as he may have rice, corn and buckwheat but only once a week. Any suggestions?

I'm feeling a bit disheartened by this, I was expecting to be told that testing at this age (almost 2.5) may produce many fake positives, instead we were told that they were so surprised by the results that asked for a second sample (I thought they have lost the first one). What the nutriologist said is that she suspects DS's guts are underdeveloped and asked to get some enzymes that increased the permeability of the gut (???), she also said that we needed to get him off diary and suggested something called Tiger White, what's that and where can I find it?

Anybody with a similar diagnosis? I really don't know what to expect and also I am a bit worried as she mentioned that DS placid behaviour (too placid for his age) may be related to food intolerances. I'm concerned about coeliac disease and feel particularly vulnerable at having such a sensitive kid but virtually no access (private or on the NHS) to a more specialised consultant. Sigh* (sad)
