Re: An Easter with a Difference

I have 2 boys - Mr 5 who has dairy and soy allergy and has very low tolerance to salicylates and amines. Mr 10 has dairy intolerance and is less sensitive but salicylates and amines are also a problem for him. Easter over the last few years I have found instead of chocolate we have an easter egg hunt with plastic eggs with Easter stickers, chicks and even the loose change out of my purse going into them - the children love it! This year we also did home made marshmallow, shortbread and pancakes cut out in Easter shapes. At the end of the day - it is about the tradition and making the day special - it doesn't have to be just about chocolate. I also keep an eye out for Easter activities and craft to do before easter - this year we made easter chick cards with the children's hands traced onto coloured card and cutout as the wings and an easter bunny paper plate mask. It is amazing what ideas you can get from websites such as yours and it is comforting to know that we are not the only family out there who has to deal with these issues. I know when I first found out my Mr 5 had dairy allergy diagnosed just at 1 year of age I felt very alone and confused. But with the help of a lovely dietician and the support of a good paediatrician (sympathetic to food intolerances) life slowly became easier and now we are aware of what foods are ok and which are not - now it is like second nature. Thank you Allergy Train - the products you source have brought a lot of enjoyment to my boys and made my life so much easier. Congratulations and keep up the fantastic work!

Re: An update on our dietary progress and a new challenge

I enjoyed reading your blog as we are in a similar position just reversed. Our 4 year old son has been diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder but I am now looking at food intolerances as a lot of his behaviour can be explained via this. Our elimination diet is already providing answers. I did read on the fed up with food additives site that sound sensitivity can be caused by food intolerances and also a thiamine deficiency which I am going to investigate further. Good luck with it all. It is definitely a long road with ups and downs but all worthwhile if there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Home made sausages

As we don’t have a butcher nearby who can make us suitable sausages we have until now gone with out. If I had gone a distance, I could have bought them but then I had the problem of needing to use them quickly to prevent an amine build up. We really only wanted them for special occasions so it was not worth the hassle of trying to get hold of them. A while ago, a member from one of the forums I am on talked about using collagen casings from www.bakeandbrew.com.au so I finally decided to give it ago.

I used my new thermomix to mix up the vegetables and meat into the right consistency. Then we thought – ok how do we get the sausage mixture into the casings. Hmm!! We nearly ended it all there as I had thought maybe I could spoon it in but clearly this was not going to be possible. Then I got the idea of using an icing piping bag. It worked really well. It worked best with two of us doing it and the kids loved sitting there watching the process.

It took about 40 minutes from start to finish which I was quite impressed with and this did enough sausages for two meals plus a hot dog day at school for Daniel. Daniel was excited about having a ‘hot dog’ dinner as we had never done this before. We were happy with the kids having sausage in bread because I had managed to hide all the vegetables inside the sausage. He he!

Oh and a couple of tips - don't cram the casings full as they will burst when you go to cook them, smaller thinner seemed to work best. You also have to make sure you stab them with a fork regularly.
