Alice's diet!

Currently Alice's diet is: Dairy free, gluten and soy free, free of artificial colours and flavours and... we have to be careful with just about everything else she eats. Red meat makes Alice vomit, peas turn her bowel motions to liquid acid and apricots send her seizures out of control (to list a few). Testing has highlighted dairy as a food Alice will probably never tolerate (it's like giving her arsenic) but, hopefully, as Alice's gut health improves she will be able to tolerate a wider range of foods.

Alice is able to eat: chicken, fish like ling and sword fish, rice, fresh fruit and vegetables (carefully chosen) and breads, muffins, biscuits etc which I make at home.
Alice's diet is rotated; even foods which she can tolerate are reacted to if she eats too much of them.

Alice's diet is low in salt (we use Celtic Sea Salt in some cooking).
Alice drinks LOTS of water - Natural Spring Water ... not tap water with Chlorine and other toxic chemicals in it.
Alice also drinks broth - usually made with chicken bones - she loves it and it is rich with nutrients!

We are considering the GAPS diet (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) as it has been successfully used as a gut healer. Enabling people with allergies/intolerance's to eat a wider range of foods.

I think it is also important to mention that I am a Speech Pathologist with a 'special interest' in swallowing and meal management AND I always consult with Alice's Dietitian and Doctor, and other nutrition specialists, when making any changes to Alice's diet and supplement regime; to ensure optimum health and nutrition.
