My child only eats bread, dairy products, cereal or pasta. How can I change his diet without starving my child?
Parents have reported to me that their children may refuse the altered diet for three or four days and then give in and eat the new foods. I think that it would be wise to consult your physician and/or a dietitian before starting the diet. I do not think a short time without eating is harmful to most children but might be significant if your child has special medical problems like diabetes. Some children have not adjusted well to the gluten/casein free diet and may have to go back to gluten or casein containing foods because of substantial weight loss on the restricted diets. Calcium supplementation is critical to children on a restricted diet.
