I am not sure what are you talking about in Pinterest..don't see recipes for a limited diet, hardly anything without dairy. CAn you tell me the link.

My son has only 9 foods, for example. So, I type in the search box "potato pork", and up comes lots of pictures of recipes that contain potato and pork. Some of them aren't possible to make, but others are possible if we eliminate all of the unsafe ingredients or find safe substitutes for them. He has no safe milks, but I can make a "milk" out of potato starch and water that works as a good substitute. If you can't have dairy but can have rice milk, substitute rice milk or substitute Daiya cheese if that is safe. Does that help make more sense?

OH wow, that is great information, thank a bunch! I am new to all this so never knew about all those substitutes I can use.

My son was just diagnosed with EOE (at the age of 10) but when I read about it, he doesn't have the typical symptoms of EOE. For example, he doesn't have difficulty eating or swallowing anything. Just that his tummy aches all the time, sometimes less, sometimes more. Its more always after eating and seems like gas as he burps all the time. Gasex helps sometimes for a while but not always. So then he doesn't feel hungry. Many times he has gagging but that time I can feel its becasue of some allergic food he ate. We have to repeat his allergy test as I am already avoiding stuff which he was allergic to 4 years back (when he had some typical allergic reaction and vomitimg after eating cashews). That time he was not positive for milk but the GI doctor says he is allergic to milk as per the blood test. As of now avoiding milk is not helping too though. Poor guy he is not happy ever and has to do his homework and stuff as we can't excuse that forever.

I don't think Flovent cures stuff as wherever I read the articles and blogs, it seems like it needs to be taken permanently, so that's not a cure. We really need more research in this area, as Flovent is harmful if given for long term (as per some unreleased studies). And wherever it says it is not harmful, they disclaim that is true for short term only.

Anyone having similar symptoms as my son?
