ARGH!!! What to feed my 6 year old?

This has really only been a new battle.

Last year almost to the season DD6 was sick...I think we all know what its like when we're sick and the last foods we ate we are very weary of or can't stand....because it came back up Yuck

So no banana's!!! to the point he will ask if any biscuit or cake has banana in it...the whole family has gone into this because ... you know banana's are not what they used to be...something has changed.

No dairy!!! and I have to say that he might be on to something there.

When DD6 was brand-new he was a peaceful baby who slept and hardly cried and was very relaxed...totally different from his sister...which is another story.

Dave had been experimenting with going gluten free for a few months but then flagged it away. So in the first weeks of DD6 life I did not have any gluten and very little dairy as it was just not a part of the food we ate.

Then Dave went back to work (away from home) and I just had to eat food that I could manage to throw together on my own while looking after 2 kids and a house.

Gluten and dairy...milkshakes, pasta, toast, the works...

DD6 turned into a nightmare in a day.

Then my wonderful midwife and good friend turned up and took one look at him and said

"Go gluten free and dairy free"...she said that we'd probably have to wait a few weeks for him to come right...but by the end of the week he was back.

So I went gluten and dairy free for 8 months then brought back in cheese cause I missed cheese. I carried on with gluten free until today and will keep on because the changes in my own person have been amazing.

But DD6 has cut out on his own dairy and nightshades...which makes food pretty hard.

So I'm going to start keeping a diary of foods he's liking at what reactions he seems to be having.

Since going off of dairy he seems to be sleeping better, doesn't have purple circles under his eyes and he doesn't seem to have issues with his stomach ... sniff sniff Phew! So thats great.

A little butter - only a very little doesn't seem too bad but best not.

Going Paleo seems to work with both of us...Dave and DD9 just have to come along for the ride.
