We made up Adam's diet. It's not the official GFCF, but he refuses any dairy except a few types of cheese, so we don't push it. And we try to keep him away from processed foods, sugar, dyes, etc. Try to eat organic, try to keep the gluten/carbs to a minimum, etc. Any bread is low-carb, whole-grain, no HFCS allowed, etc.
He has the exact same breakfast every day:
grapes and turkey bacon.
He has to snack a lot because of low blood sugar, so there aren't specific meals, just lots of snacks. He normally eats at least one tahini and honey sandwich per day. It is his absolute favorite food. Weird, I know.
Then maybe cut up apples with PB, raisins, almonds, or popcorn. Of the foods that we consider "okay," that's pretty much all he is willing to eat. But he's fine with it.
You'd think on this diet he'd be a shrimp, but he inherited my husky build. He doesn't need that many calories - just like me.
We're visiting a nutritionist on Monday to get an opinion. I have no idea what she'll say, and I don't know if we'll agree with her opinion or not. Basically I just want it officially put on his IEP that he has low blood sugar and has to eat frequent meals, so that's what we have to do. It will be interesting to see what the nutritionist has to say, though.
