Kayden's diet update

Kayden had another endoscopy on November 8th. The purpose was to see if his new diet helped with reducing inflammation and the eosinophils caused by his eosinophilic esophagitis. We got the results back and the doc felt like there was enough improvement to say that the diet was working! Hooray! The next step is to reintroduce into his diet some of the lesser food allergies and then rescope in a few months to see if everything is still okay. We started with apple, potato and turkey. Kayden was THRILLED to be able to eat apples again. Apples were at the top of his most missed foods list. The first day I let him go a little crazy and the poor guy got a tummy ache from too many apples. I explained to him that even people who aren't allergic get tummy aches if they eat too many apples, so we decided to slow things down a bit. Being able to eat turkey will be great for Thanksgiving next week. As for potatoes, Kayden hates them BUT it opens up so many possibilities for gluten free foods and snacks. A lot of the packaged stuff has potato in it which left us extremely limited to what quick foods Kayden could eat. Now I feel like a whole new world has opened up to us! Let's hope this new diet change is here to stay!
