Well that's just great!
I'm coming to you a little pissed off today. I was hoping this post would be about the two great new products I found for the GFCFSF Diet but unfortunately it was not to be. Sometimes it is very frustrating to find foods your kid can eat. This week I thought I found replacements for cheese and mini pickles. Both of these foods are sorely missed at our house. Turns out the company that makes the cheese does no allergy testing so they cannot guarantee that the oat flour in the cheese was not exposed to wheat in it's processing at some point. And the pickles were processed in the same facility as wheat, oh but they assured me that they "wipe down" the machines after using the wheat. Oh really? You wipe them down do ya? Well that helps me like a whole warm pile of........ok never mind. I'm a little heated over this. The good news is that I am determined to get these products available to us locally. I will request a good cheese replacement at all the places where I know they sell cheese replacements and see if I can get them to help us out. I already got Holiday Market to carry the GFCFSF version of the Earth Balance Spread so maybe they will carry this too if I ask? If I can find a good cheese replacement my son's food choices would improve so much! I'm on a mission now because my baby deserves to eat pizza just like all the other kids do. I'll let you all know how the quest for cheese replacement goes. Fingers crossed ya'll!

I've been meaning to give you a call and ask you what kind of milk do you give Jackson. Or milk replacement? I'm still giving Anthony whole milk and I'm thinking I should be giving him something else now if this whole yeast thing is an issue with him.
ReplyDeleteWell at our house we used to give our son rice milk when we first started the diet. My son reacted to the gluten in Rice Dream, rice milk (even though it is labeled Gluten free it's really not) so we served another brand for a while. Once I looked at the label and realized that there were naturally alot of carbs and sugars in it I decided to drop it all together. I reasoned that he didn't need all that extra stuff to feed the yeast anyway. This decision came the same week I read an article on the TACA website showing that rice milks cointain small amounts of arsenic so we started switching to water and a water / juice mixture that got watered down over time. I also made sure he's on a good calcium and magnesium supplement to make up for missing that in his milk. We immediatley saw a cognitive improvement, an improvement in stool hardness, and a few months later realized that he was having less ear and sinus infections. Now we give almond milk once in a while for cereal or ice cream or drinking occasionally. Pacific Brand is a good one. Let me know if you have any other questions.
