Up until about 2 weeks ago, we thought we had our son’s food allergies and eosinophilic esophagitis under control. Then the vomiting started again, and now it’s bad. He’s vomiting almost everything he eats unless it’s rice milk, rice cereal, bagels, peanut butter, eggs, or crackers. How is my baby boy supposed to live like this? It’s hard on him and it’s hard on us. I had to take away his trick-or-treat candy today. Truthfully, we should have never allowed him to have any of it in the first place. But we gave in and allowed him to have things he shouldn’t because his steroids were helping him, or at least masking his problem. His GI Dr. also said we could try and re-introduce some foods if he wasn’t having any symptoms. I guess we gave him too much.

We made an appointment next week with his specialist to see what we need to do, and this morning we started him on a very restricted diet once again. An elemental diet such as Elecare is something we are also considering at this point as well. I guess we will wait and see what his GI Dr. suggests.

So, in the meantime, I’ve been searching for new recipes our son can eat for what seems like hours and I’m not getting anywhere. What can I make that tastes good and is soy-free, dairy-free, meat-free, and corn-free among other foods? Really, what’s left?
