Ellies Food Allergies.

My new life style (diet) was taking all my focus and that is where 80% of my energy was going. Life threw me a curve ball the other day when I found out that my youngest has an astronomical amount of food allergies! After the 2 weeks of "detoxing" all of the foods that were positive, we will go through months of testing each of the foods, and spices out to see what ones are effecting her way of life. The foods that are being eliminated from her diet are; Corn (syrup, starch, popcorn... you get the idea), soy (in ALL its many forms), wheat, yeast (no beer for her!), casein (dairy), Eggs, safflower (this is in everything! including rice milk!), sunflower, huge list of fruit - so here are her yeses on fruit; apples, bananas and strawberries. ALL nuts, peanuts, "gums" (agin-everything!), pepper -cayenne and black, cumin, dill, ginger, nutmeg, mustard, parsley, sesame, vanilla, chocolate, beans - string, kidney, lima, navy, pinto, peas, carrots, mushrooms, olives and olive oil, onion, green peppers, potato, sweet potato, tomato, cucumbers, avocado, lentils, bay leaf, sage, thyme, and basil.... blah, blah, blah!

So what in the heck do you feed this poor child?

Not sure where my blog is going to go? Since Ellie's diet is a lot more restricting than mine, and because it is so limiting, I may find myself cooking things such as meat, and even using some sugars to keep a little one happy. So please dont find me hypocritical. Just trying to survive. Now my energy is 100% refocused.
