I often hear this complaint from parents. The first thing I do is take a diet history and, more often than not, I find these children are eating a lot of dairy foods and sugary desserts. This prevents the intestinal tract from working smoothly.
My mother and I get into big arguments about the food she tries to serve my children. Do I have to stay away from her house until they’re grown?
The last thing you want to do is start fights with other family members or to keep your children away from their grandparents. We have to realize that the nutritional guidelines have changed dramatically since the time our parents were young. The old rules stressed three glasses of milk every day, meat at every meal, and desserts used as bribes for eating all those “yucky” vegetables.
We’re going on vacation next month, and I don’t know how I’m going to keep our diets on a healthy track. Do you have any suggestions?
In the sports world, there’s a phenomenon known as the “home court advantage.” From the field to the locker room to the dining room, the team’s home town is better set up for them than any other city. For most people, even those who pay little attention to their diet, the food at home will have less fat, salt, and preservatives than you’ll find in most restaurants.
Ever since my child was born, I have begun to dread the holidays. Between celebrations and fast food, there seems to be no way to avoid eating badly. Any suggestions?

An Allergy Elimination Diet
Food allergies, or reactions, are more common than many realize, particularly when dealing with the immature digestive system of a newborn! Many babies simply cannot break down some of the larger proteins without difficulty. There are times when symptoms begin so severely, or immediately, that it cannot be missed. More often symptoms increase with exposure and it is around six weeks when you begin to realize that there may be a food source causing the discomfort you are seeing in your child.
