Sofia’s elimination diet – part 4 – salicylates and amines

January 15, 2017 by Kate Leave a Comment

Food is about family, sharing and getting together - flexible

Food is about family, sharing and getting together

So, has anyone else got a bit too caught up in this food intolerance journey? Been super vigilant and strict with food, to the point of compulsion? I understand, there is so much to digest (pun intended) and so many foods that could be a culprit! But seriously, maybe it’s time not to take it too seriously. We all know shit can happen in life, kids can get sick and they can misbehave – for many reasons. So, it’s probably not the end of the world if we’re a little flexible and let them try something yummy as an experiment – and if it backfires miserably, and they have a really bad reaction, we just don’t do it again!
