Intro

Originally, I thought blogs were for people who thought too much of their own thoughts and opinions. I mean, really, who cares what I think? But then I realized that it was a way to communicate to lots of people in this real-time world. And I know there’s information missing out there on the information super-highway. Especially about food intolerances and cooking around them. Two of my children have multiple food intolerances, and I’ve learned to adapt recipes so that most of us can eat the same thing at the table. I’ll probably expand this blog to share some of the information I’ve gleaned from books and various other sources, and hope I can remember to give credit where credit is due. And I don’t mind experimenting with recipes to help you cope with you or your child’s food intolerances.

Tuna Questionable, Eggs FAILED

I tried my son on eggs about  a month ago. His previous reaction had been crying uncontrollably for a couple hours the following day after ingestion (about 18 months ago). He said his stomach hurt that night, but that was it. So I increased his Molybdenum (helps sulfur foods) and tried again (put it in cake so he wouldn’t know he was getting eggs). I used quail eggs and it was the equivalent of 2 chicken eggs in a chocolate-coconut bundt cake. He had one small piece (maybe a 12th of the cake). About a half hour later he said

Turkey passed!

Turkey passed on Thanksgiving Day (brined, delicious). Then I made bone broth out of it (36 hours) and my son had some turkey soup, with ground turkey meatballs, and cauliflower in it. Delicious. He had a few bowls of the soup. So now he’s added back turkey, rice, and peas. We are on the road to healing (though he is reacting to something at the moment, and we don’t know what, so we’re stalled in adding things back in). Now that we’ve been supplementing Molybdenum for a month, I want to trial eggs, but we have to wait for the

Thanksgiving

I have decided to trial my son on turkey next Thursday, on Thanksgiving. He hasn’t had it for 17 months and now is as good a time to try it as any, and that way I don’t have to bring as much food to my in-laws for dinner. I made this Sweet Potato Casserole last week, which I think I’ll bring to the dinner, and I’m thinking of trying to make a green bean casserole (maybe I should do this beforehand to test it out….), and I still haven’t tried to make the pumpkin creme brulee now that

He is healing!!

Last Thursday, we gave my son peas, for the first time in 2-3 years. It was one of his “moderate” intolerances according to the ALCAT blood test, but he’d already been avoiding it for about a year before the test due to the screaming all night long after he would have a helping of peas. He had about 3 Tbs. on Thursday, and… NOTHING. It’s the first food that he’s really gotten back with absolutely no symptoms at all. It means he’s finally healing. Hooray!! Now it can be added back into the rotation.

Lunchbox ideas

Last year, after my son lost corn, almonds, and carrots, my lunch ideas seemed to fall apart. I told him I’d give him a huge breakfast and a huge snack when he got home from school, but that at school, he’d have more of a snack, because we couldn’t think of many filling things for him to eat: curried chickpeas, grapes, black olives, puffed millet. But this year, some of my friends over at Mothering.com gave me the bright idea of a Thermos. Why didn’t I think of that before? So this year he’s still been having grapes, black olives,
