Okay to Eat

Okay, just to have a record, here is our list of foods that are okay to eat.  Some of these I am still testing.  N has these weird specks in his poops that the doctors don't know what it is...in reading it looks to me like he is dumping oxalates.  So I need to be watching high oxalate foods.  He also seems to have some issues with foods rich in salicylates.  So those need to be watched as well (So, things like almonds, coconut, watermelon need to be rotated).  Also, I am not putting on here foods like eggs that are low histamine that we can't eat anyway due to allergy.  Although I do hope to get eggs back into our diet,  I sorely miss them!! At the very least the yokes....

Anyway, so here is is our list of foods:

Fresh Meats (not including beef, rotating turkey, and no smoked or aged cuts...like sausage or bacon)
Fresh Fish (Can't eat tuna, salmon, mahi mahi, makrel, anchovies, or sardines.  No shellfish).
Gluten Free Grains (but we have some issues here too...)
Fresh Fruits: mango, pears, watermelon, kiwi, canteloupe
Fresh Veggies (with the exception of avocado, eggplant, spinach, tomatoes)
Dairy Substitutes: coconut milk, rice milk, almond milk
Cooking oils:  (there seems to be a lot of discrepancy here...but olive oil and coconut oil are listed as okay)
Leafy Herbs
Herbal Teas

This means no citrus, fruits, no dairy, no chocolate, and *fresh* is the key here.  The more a food sits around, the more histamine it accumulates.  This would also likely apply to souring and/or sprouting our grains...those would be high histamine.  Bummer.

But this shouldn't be forever.  And really, the hard part is getting N to eat right.  And prepping for our meals is a super PITA, especially because the food needs to be fresh, and I have a crazy one year old running around!!!
