Allergy Exclusion Diet?
slo1970 asked:
My daughter is being put on an exclusion diet to check for reactions to different foods.
For two weeks she can not eat the following:
Pork
Cantaloupe
Cashews
Cottonseed
Rye
Tuna
Salmon
Black Pepper
Sesame Seeds
Soybeans
Peanuts
Lettuce
White Potatoes
I’m having a hard time coming up with foods for her to eat for lunch (at school) and dinner since cottonseed, soy, peanuts and wheat seem to be in everything. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help.
Just wanted to clear up that she was actually tested for allergies. She showed a reaction of 3mm or higher to the foods on her exclusion diet. She was also allergic to many other foods but they were 2mm reactions or less so he didn’t add those to the list. I believe tomatoes was on the lesser reaction list. She wasn’t tested for green peppers but it might make since that she had a stomach ache when I made stuffed peppers.
Poor thing was poked 96 times with needles that day.

Fastest Way to Lose Weight
So you are really looking for some beef and chicken stir fries with rice as the starch? For lunch hmm? You could try some turkey lunch meat rolled around cream cheese. Sushi served without the soy sauce. Chicken and rice soup in a thermos. They do make “rice” breads for wheat intolerant people they are often available in the organic aisle. I would really recommend going to a store that specializes in organic foods, WholeFoods or Trader Joe’s have a variety of food stuffs that are missing common allergy inducing ingredients. Your local Kosher deli or Kosher department at the grocery store will also have foods with no pork and very few “additives”. What about a wrap made out of a corn tortilla chicken, cream cheese and tomatoes? A lot of health food markets also have diets printed out to help people with allergies. I would go to all of these places and see what advice and products they have to offer.

I have never heard of anyone having a food allergy to pork or lettuce! If she is excluding white potatoes, is she also excluding tomatoes, eggplant and peppers? (all are members of the same family-deadly nightshade.) Also white potatoes and red potatoes are chemically the same. Sounds like you have a naturapath or some other quack treating your daughter. I find it hard to believe an MD would have made this list.
An MD would have checked this list first:
Milk
Egg
Peanut
Tree nut
Fish
Shellfish
Soy
Wheat
Go to a whole food store and explain the problem. Someone there will be knowledgable to help you.
