Day 3 of the Elimination Diet

Here's a little update on how I'm doing! 

The first day, I caved and ate the rest of the banana bread I made on Sunday...and a small bag of BBQ chips. I was SOO hungry. But since then, I haven't cheated, except to add peaches and quinoa to my diet. Both are low on the allergen list, so I did it. It helps a lot! Quinoa is so tasty, even with just a little salt on it!

This is what I had for lunch on Monday, and now I've added quinoa.
Oh, and this is what I have each day for lunch.

This is what I had for dinner last night, and lunch today!
I finally found some yellow squash!
For breakfast, I couldn't finish it today. It was so UN-appetizing. I only ate the pears, with just a little bit of millet. I felt like I was feeding a child, trying to trick them into eating the good stuff. It was silly!

I bought two different types of pears to eat, but they both were terrible. It's definitely not a good season for them now! So, I buy the canned pears, they are so tasty! I make sure to get the ones with no added sugar or syrups or anything. I'm also considering adding brown sugar to my diet, that way breakfast can be a little better...

I am going to try making baked potato chips later today! We'll see how that goes! 

On to other news: Elias!
He's recently started getting really sad when other kids make grunty/growling noises...this is what that looks like:






So sad, but so silly :]

Here's a couple more, just for fun!



He was looking out at our Christmas tree and bikes. Yes, we still have the tree...

  4. Hayley: The diet is to find anything that Elias might be allergic to and causing the puking!
