Suzanne,
You had mentioned to me, at another time, that you rotate 2 days on, 4 or 5 off,
right? I am in the process of organizing my son's rotation diet, to help heal
his leaky gut. He has so few foods, it can be hard to develop snacks and meals
with any more than 3-4 days between for some food categories. He is always
hungry, wants to eat just about hourly and I am SO running out of healthy ideas
that fit our needs. So my question is, what is the proper way to rotate foods?
Should we eat the same foods for the whole day, like if I am giving chicken, use
it for lunch and dinner, etc? And snacks, ugh, snacks....I don't even know what
to ask about them!! He likes apples and dry cereals, all of which cause
problems for us. I try raw veggies, but the battle is just not worth it
sometimes.

I printed a sheet with lists of the foods he can have, by category and next to
each food I mark the days he ate them so I can work on a less rigid schedule, I
don't like the Monday=beef and broccoli routine. This way I can just make sure
we eat a food that hasn't been eaten in a few days, but still have the
flexibility to eat based on our mood. Another major meal for us is breakfast.
It's his favorite meal of the day and we are so limited. We are trying to avoid
high oxalate foods, high sugars and carbs and we have 23 food allergies to avoid
in addition to GFCF and corn free. We have been able to successfully rotate
rice back in thankfully, but I am still leery of it's ability to stir up yeast,
so I keep that almost to weekly rather than every 4 days. We also do fruit and
sunflower seeds, he dips the fruit into ground sunflower seeds, I make teff
pancakes without sweetener and GF oatmeal with carob reishi syrup. That is
about IT for breakfast.

Ok, sorry to get off topic a bit there, thoughts are racing through my head
while I try to organize this.
