More food allergies... what to feed her???   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #861 of 1601 |
Faith is my child (2yr old) with limited foods b/c of severe food
allergies.

Well yesterday I noticed what I thought was beginning eczema on her
arm. Today her arms and legs are COVERED in eczema. GRRRRRR I
don't know what to do from here. I really don't. I suspected a food
allergy was happening last week and the eczema just confirms it for
me.

Her foods are:
broccoli
squash (all kinds)
green beans
all meats (we don't eat pork though)
onions
garlic
currant juice
pear juice
occassional granny smith apple
occasional bite of quinoa (soaked)
occasional bite of cauliflower
dulse
YCK (young coconut kefir)

She is on the following supplements:
corn-free Vit C (contains calcium & magnesium)
Yeast-free Multi B Vits
MSM
Mangesium
Basic nutrients plus (mineral)
Seabuddies multi-vitamin
chromium
milk thistle
selenium
zinc
MCT oil
VSL#3

I don't count the apple, quino or cauliflower as meal worthy foods
yet b/c she can only have an occassional bite. Dulse is a snack,
not meal. Garlic and onions are for flavoring and not whole meals
of course. That leaves meat, starchy veggies & green beans. I
realized last night I have not been food combining with her b/c she
has to have starchy veggies with her meat b/c that's the only option
she has.

What do I do? How can I stop this food loss??? I am running out of
food to feed her. She isn't itchy today but she has started
tantruming like crazy and is obviously in distress. I caught her toe
walking today and a few times wouldn't make eye contact. All that
was temporary but still, freaked me out big time!! I know her gut is
a mess as she's back to being bloated. Her poop is still off and
staaaaanky!!

We did NAET during the spring and it cleared her of poultry (thank
GOD! lol) but I don't have great confidence in this practitioner and
she's all I can go to right now. Her practitioner even called me up
this week to tell me she's back in town and ready to see us so I
will go, but still, what do I do in the meantime???

Anyone have any advice? I seriously am at my wits end here!

Thank you
Wyndie

Hi Jenny! We are not trying to do SCD. We're trying for BED mostly, but I am not one to get stuck on a certain diet. I agree with you that in crisis' we have...

Hi Wyndie. ok, I got this info off the holistichealth.com discussion group from old posts made by Dr. Amy Yasko. Zinc can be like a double edge sword and if...

Jenny, Jake's zinc supplementation is way higher than that, but he's been diagnosed with a zinc deficiency before. Also I've understood zinc loading is ...

She gets molybdenum in her daily minerals. We were supplementing (with a powdered form) for awhile but I figured what she is getting in her daily was enough...

I would definitely rotate olive oil and coconut oil - 3 days on and 3 days off for each one (and give YCK just on the coconut oil days). You really DON'T want...
