Recently we started my son who has Childhood Apraxia of Speech, ADHD, and a sensory processing disorder. They tell you in the beginning to cut out processed foods, refined sugars, and fast food, and any products with ingredients that you just can't pronounce, and to also go Organic as much as possible. The next step is the 21 day Elimination diet. You have to eliminate ANYTHING with Corn, Gluten, Potatoes, Dairy, Rice, Eggs, and Soy. Thinking this wouldn't be a problem, I began the discouraging journey of looking for foods without any of these ingredients. After a full day of grocery shopping, and coming home with barely enough food to last a few days...I came to the conclusion that we were going to starve for the next 21 day. (We decided the whole family would do the diet so that my son didn't feel like we were picking on just him.)
After two days of my kids being constantly hungry, I started doing some major research, and searching to find not only foods we could eat, but foods that would taste good as well. I'm sure there are other parents out there that have also had this problem, and are feeling the discouragement I felt. So I thought as my family takes this journey, I will share recipes that are not only healthy, but can help out other families doing the Brain Balance Elimination Diet. I hope this helps. These foods will be posted under the category of 'Elimination Diet'. Good luck on your journey!
