My son Alex has been on the diet for about 5 months now and we've
seen an improvement! I'd like to put together a list of foods as
well to share. We've found some good bread substitutes, crackers
and cookies. Mostly, he likes to eat meat, fruits and veggies -
thanks goodness, so the other items are treats. I'll try to go
through my cabinets this weekend and put a list together of some
good eats.

beginning when he was 2 1/2 years old. We were concerned about
implementing it because he loved milk and bread. In fact, because
of constipation issues, we were giving him high fiber breads all the
time. We didn't phase into the diet, but just "did it". Except for
drinking soy milk, which he just started doing recently, he took to
the diet very well. I think the key is finding good substitutes for
the things he liked. I made him chicken nuggets with GL bread
crumbs, etc. but mainly serve him meats, potatoes and vegetables and
supplement with some health food store items. Both my husband and I
say that it was not nearly the task we thought it would be. It just
requires some education and then planning. In our area, we like
Trader Joe's, Always Healthy in Lake Zurich, and even Meijer is
carring some GFCF items. It may help for us to put together a
collaborative "good eats" list for each other to use. Just a few

that to my husband's approach to always making our children try
everything once. They usually end up liking it.
