The short list

  One of my motivations in starting this journal for the world to see was the lack of information I found from other moms going through an elimination diet. I found stories of eczema "cured" through changes in moms' diets, but I wanted more. I wanted specifics! So just in case you are like me and wanted the inside scoop on how someone did it here goes:

What I AM eating: the Short List
 
Avocados - yummy with a little salt and pepper and a dab of mustard, or blended into a salad dressing with a touch of water
Oatmeal - lots of oatmeal!
Most meats - although the most restrictive form of the elimination diet allows for only range fed turkey and lamb that's just not realistic for me so yesterday I ate a hamburger patty and I have been eating a LOT of chicken - plain with just salt and pepper
Bananas, pears, apples, and apple juice - and for dessert I make banana "ice cream" - yum!
Potatoes - I bought a bunch of potatoes, baked them all and reheat a half a potato in the microwave
Salad - Romaine, spinach, and carrots
Rice 
And water, lots and lots of water

And what I'm NOT eating:

Dairy, eggs, nuts (oh I miss my peanut butter), tomatoes, citrus, gluten, seafood, peppers, onions, honey, soy... and the list goes on.

Today is day 5 and his skin is looking clearer! Here's hoping we're on the right track :)
