(I LOVE nutrition) Food Maketh the Man!
We met Philipa and she was very firm - but she knew her stuff (not like some of these 'pocket nutritionist's)
Well, the first thing that was said to me was 'he has a lot of milk, doesn't he?'. This surprised me, as we're very careful as to the amount of milk he has, he rarely drinks milk, but does like yogurt and cheese. - just to explain what she feels was 'alot' of milk, on an extreme milk day he may have - milk in cereal, cheese in his sandwich at lunch, and a yogurt for pudding.
So you can see now why, I was surprised that he had 'alot' of milk. All our baking is dairy free, due to my youngest being allergic to milk proteins (from animals with 4 legs!).
Anyway, my little Mr. T doesn't have wheat, it makes his symptoms much worse, and also give him bad stomach. But we had let it slip a little (der). Apart from the rest of our diet being great, we were told his breakfast is too sugary - he needs to keep his blood sugars balanced. Fair enough!!
So what do we need to do to turn around this tantrum-ing T-boy!?
Protein - for breakfast! Er< OK!
What does this entail? Cooking (at such unearthly hours!)
Mr T,: Pancakes, and cheese- urgh!! I'm not haaaaaving that (goes into that whinging crying mode, that we all know and 'love')
Day 1. Pancakes and baked beans - Surprisingly lovely - Mr. T had 2 portions!!!
Day 2. Chicken and potato patties with tomatoes - Last night's Leftover's and very nice!
Day 3. Poached egg (for me) pancakes, with CHEESE and beans - Ha ha, he loved it!!!
Day 4. Pancake and red pepper (Mr T's own recipe) - Boy he's getting the hang of it
So far so good, getting used to 'cooking in the morning'. Other changes is that he has rice cakes and peanut butter 'every night' before bed. Supposed to help regulate the blood sugars at night.
He is sleeping better, and last night it took 30 mins for him to get to sleep - he got to sleep at 9.30 -YEEESSS Plus we were 'outside' the bedroom.
Keep you all posted!!!
