The change for me was to totally eradicate any man-made / genetically processed foods from his diet.

That is great work! What kind of flour do you buy -- is there a pre-engineered antique kind? I read something recently about non-bromated flour from Italy. Or are any flour-containing recipes out completely? Also, are your fruits and veggies all organic? (Expensive.) Do you have to grow your own in order to insure his correct diet?

The flour I buy (actually Mr. Peel orders it from Amazon) is "Organic Einkorn" flour from Jovial. We both LOVE fresh bread, and for years did without, until I found this gem. I have a wonderful Breville Bread Machine and about every 2-3 days, I made us a fresh loaf of bread. This flour has a slightly sweet flavor to it, so I dramatically cut down sugar that may be required in a recipe.

Every weekday morning, Mr Peel has 2 poached eggs on toast - the toast being from the Einkorn flour. I use Kerry Gold butter, rather than Land O' Lakes. Kerry Gold seems purer to me.

Other fun things that we've introduced with absolutely no ill effects: we brought back Belgian Waffles. We treated ourselves to a Breville waffle maker (this thing is insanely magnificent) - expensive but damn! it is good. I make buttermilk waffles for the weekend (using the einkorn flour). It is heaven. In fact it is so good, that we don't eat out much any more (I can do better, ha!)

When I don't feel like cooking, we've discovered Amy's Frozen foods -- her Cheese Enchilada dinner and her Tamale dinner are sensational. These foods don't affect him at all. Neither does her canned chilli.

Because he can have his bread and waffles, he doesn't feel as though he's on a diet. I do try to limit the amount of bread carbs - one meal a day is fine -- I find that if he has his toast or waffle in the morning, he won't miss bread at lunch or dinner.

The trick is trying to make the other meals interesting, too. He likes a little heat with his food, so Mrs. Dash salt-free south wernern spices usually gets added to almost everything! Tonight was meatloaf, and I use rolled oats instead of bread crumbs in the hamburger. Instead of mashed potatoes, I make a cauliflower puree that actually turns out quite tasty.

Most times I really try to buy organic. The fun challenge is trying to satiate a craving that he has. About a couple of months ago, he really wanted some potato chips. I finally found a source of potato chips that he really enjoys and is absolutely pure - cooked in sunflower oil -- with no affect on him whatsoever Tato Chips They're from Ireland, and Ireland is a non-GMO country.

It's becoming a very interesting educational journey.
