Today I took Ezra to the biofeedback test to check what his food intolerances look like. I'm cautiously optimistic about the result. After several years of being the Nazi diet mom, who probably gave her kid food paranoia and an eating disorder going from gluten free to casein free, to gluten and casein free, then grain free, nut free, egg free, to nutritarian...his system seems to be doing better and is recovering. We have his intolerances down to a very few items on the list. Egg white is still a problem, but I'm thinking that is an actual allergy, as he even tested allergic to it with the allergist years ago, and it has shown up consistently as an irritant. And dairy (specifically cream) is also on the list, but after reading The China Study, Eat to Live, and watching movies like Forks over Knives and Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, I'm pretty convinced that dairy isn't good for anyone and should be avoided anyway (and if you're crying right now "WHAT??? But it's good for you, and you need the calcium" then I suggest you ditch the milk and eat green leafy veggies for your calcium, while reading The China Study).
This news doesn't change much in terms of what we'll be eating however. I'm not going to go out and start bombarding Ezra with a bunch of gluten and food packed full of chemical crap. And we will still steer clear from all additives, food colorings, preservatives, refined sugar, and flour.
Still, perhaps I will now get to start making our own sour dough bread. That would be great.
