Reintroducing Foods

[cahill]

Has anyone reintroduced corn and / or rice successfully??

I have been totally grain free for about 7 weeks . This past weekend I was not feeling well ( JUST the flu ) and I wanted some rice ,,,so I had some not good . Maybe I didnt wait long enough,,

I know and except that I will never be able to eat gluten/wheat/soy again And I am totally OK with that ,,but I will really cry if I cant ever have rice and corn again

We use a combination of re-introduction challenge and repeat alergy testing to track our progress with our food allergies. After avoiding for many months to a year, we were able to stop reacting to some and get them back into our diets but not with others, yet. With my son and corn we re-introduced and seemed to get a reaction and symptoms so just to double check, I left it out again for a while and the re-introduced again and didn't notice the symptoms so we added it back to his diet, although I still kept contol of how much-, for example, permanently switched to potato starch instead of corn in gluten-free baking, both homemade and products. When he was re-tested, his corn was still the same level reaction as the previous year so we are trying to avoid it for a longer period of time and see if we can at least get his test reaction down a notch. It's a tough one to avoid. We are just avoiding the protein containing ingredients, not corn syrup and the like. Check your meds too. The company that makes one of my son's allergy meds won't disclose whether or not their ingredients are corn containing.

No, I don't think you waited long enough. I think you should wait at least six months.

I was hoping that with the Soy ,Corn and Nightshades completely out of my diet that Rice would not be an problem ...I agree it was probably to soon
