So sorry to hear he had a bad reaction, If that is the case I would consider steering clear from all dairy and trying to reintroduce it in a few months. The other option is dairy free cheese. Try to remember these changes are for the most part temporary until he gets to a place where he can once again tolerate these foods. I will give you an example of what I give my kiddos daily. For breakfast we usually do oatmeal, I buy gluten free and organic made by the brand Bob's Red Mill. With that I will mix in coconut oil (good fat) and usually either banana or blueberries (my kiddos will only eat blueberries if they are frozen). Another good breakfast option is eggs, scrambled/boiled. When scrambled I make them with olive oil and add some pink himalayan salt. For snack it's usually organic apple slices with almond butter, if he can't do fruit yet carrots are also actually really yummy with almond butter. My kids also love organic popcorn with olive oil and sea salt or little packets of organic seaweed. Celery with almond butter also works (only sometimes). For lunch it's usually salad or slices of cucumber with soup (organic chicken and wild rice) or half a sandwhich (we use organic sprouted grain bread). Dinner is usally sweet potato (with coconut oil and cinnamon) or brown rice, chicken and some green veggie (broccoli,peas, green beans, asparagus, brussel sprouts etc). You can get creative with the way you prepare things flavor wise. A really yummy way to do chicken is with olive oil, lemon juice, organic italian seasoning, organic garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste (and you can just toss the green veggies in the same sauce). You will find coconut oil (organic and unrefined) is your best friend. Hope this was helpful in some way. There is definitely a learning curve, but once you get used to this new normal it will just come naturally! |
