#8 – How do I keep my kid from Cheating on GAPS?

L'enfant et le vase de bonbonsHere are several tips to help you keep your child away from harmful foods while he is on his healing journey:

  • Put everyone in your house on the diet. Give away all your illegal food.
  • Pack a “lunch bag” for your child whenever he leaves the house: for school, playdates, sports, outings with Grandma, you name it.
  • Inform the school in writing and verbally – to every single teacher – of dietary restrictions. Although I provided printed and emailed legal/illegal lists to his teachers, I didn’t count on them to do much with it, as I sent in all of his food from home every day.
  • Also provide all friends and relatives with printed and emailed legal/illegal lists.
  • Ask the teacher to keep a stash of your frozen GAPS cupcakes – clearly marked with your child’s name – in case there is a treat day.
  • Provide allergy blood test results (igG tests) to the school if you have them.
  • And the obvious: serve delicious food, that he likes.

Please remember that 
no matter your dreams or obstacles, you have the power to change your child’s life. I sincerely hope our resources can help you do just that.
