Shopping List

Here is my basic shopping list. My son has not eaten a majority of the vegetables due to pre-mature erruption of his molars. Now he is almost three and getting picky! I keep telling him he can only eat 20 foods...he can't be picky, but it doesn't work:)

Check with your doctor and dietician first, but I compiled this list based on my dietician's recommendations. Please note my notes on brands....modified food starch is added to A LOT of dairy products (and tends to be the ones used in resteraunts so beware)! Check ALL labels, as ingredients vary.

Also, if you have all of these foods on hand, it will be easier to follow the menus I will post at a later date.

UNDER Construction

After 15 months of research, trial and error and working CSID into our busy lives, I have decided to dedicate this space to all I have learned. Over the next several weeks, I plan to post bits and pieces of my experience on this blog. I will start from the beginning, so it will involve a lot of back tracking...note the dates I post as the heading coincide with the date I initially wrote down my observations...

My goal is to get this information out there to those who need it. Please be patient as I add all the information I have compiled over the last year or so.
