Taylor seems to still resist trying new things. So right now unfortunately he is eating a lot of fruit snacks and fruit by the foot. Betty Crocker is the one of the only brands that is coconut free. General Mills seems to be on top of allergies when it comes to cereal. By far they have more options for cereals Taylor can eat than any other brand. There have been a couple of Western Family and Great Value, but Taylor seems to like the General Mills ones best. Taylor has also really loved go-go squeezes. They sell them now in bulk at Costco. They are better for him than fruit snacks so I am okay with spending more for applesauce if he'll eat it.:)
He is finally eating the chocolate chips that are soy, nut, egg, dairy, etc free. I hope soon he will try the actual cookies I make with them. I made a homemade yellow cake from the Better Homes & Gardens cook book with flax seed instead of egg and it turned out great. So moist and more dense and filling. Of course he wouldn't try that either. At least most of the rest of us like our new diet.
My eczema has actually been a lot better since I have taken soy and egg out of my diet too. I do eat soy sometimes still when I have crackers. I did have egg for the first time last weekend and my hands were cracked and bleeding by the end of that day. I am sure that I will benefit by this diet too.
I am truly grateful for the companies that strive to make foods that people with allergies can eat, especially those companies that go to the effort of certifying that their foods are safe. It gives me peace of mind and that is good when I hear of people dying from eating something they are allergic too. I'm not sure if I will survive sending Taylor to preschool next year, but I will cross that bridge when it comes.:)
Life is so good. I am so blessed.
