Have just found out DS (19 months) is sensitive to wheat and dairy and other things (list to follow). This seems to be the cause of an acne-like rash on his face and upper arms which he has had since he was months old.
We had a blood test done for food sensitivities and I was hoping it would be something simple to avoid but it isn't .
He's still nursing so of course anything that has to be cut out of his diet has to be cut out of mine, too. Bye bye caffe lattes... hello tea with lemon... but it's worth it, of course, anything for him.
Apparently this doesn't have to be a permanent thing - but we were advised to do a relatively strict trial for 3 months to see if it improves the rash, and then re-introduce foods.
Please help me with recipes - any at all. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks... anything would be gratefully received!!
The List:
- dairy, except mozzarella cheese and Swiss cheese
- wheat
- gluten
- rice
- almonds
- peanuts
- green beans
- green peppers-
- onions
- squash
- tomatoes
Apparently, oats, quinoa and buckwheat are ok, as is soy (which disagrees with me though and I hate the taste).
Thank you all!
