Default Re: A question for those who have kids with mild food sensitivities

My dd, 11, who is allergic was addicted to wheat/junk food (when I adopted her) that was one of my first clues that she had allergies. . . It took a few weeks for her to like other food. (She doesn't like how she feels now when exposed to her allergens, so she agrees with the food restrictions -- but prays every night for God to heal her allergies -- she's seen me be healed of some significant allergies, so she has some precedent). My other dd, 8, has sensitivities and we're working to heal her gut and then reintroduce things. Not because we care about having gluten at home so much, she likes other things, but because it's hard when we're out. She was gluten free for two years, before, but we didn't do anything specifically to heal her gut then. The three of us have all done aloe vera (we found one that doesn't taste bad, almost just like water really, [but then I wonder if could really be helping as much if it doesn't taste bad ]) and she is doing ferments and/or taking okra pepsin with each meal. Both girls and I have started to take enzymes with meals because we needed help digesting carbs (the girls take tummyzymes and like them).

I guess I would let her choose what to eat at her age and situation, but I don't think I would be buying it for her. . . Is there any way you could get her on board for two months of gut healing? Or do you think that might help? (So, like pick a start date and she can add enzymes now but eat whatever she wants until that time. Then go off gluten for your set amount of time while eating some delicious foods that you've picked out together).

Younger dd and I don't like much of the "gluten free" stuff, but we do like homemade apple/banana/pumpkin breads or apple/peach cobblers with gluten free flours, "nature's bakery" fig bars, "Pamela's" cookies are really good. The girls get rice noodles that are kind of like ramen but a bit healthier. Um, does she like sweet potatoes at all? Roasted chicken with coconut flour breading and honey sauce, with french fries? Egg fried rice? Gluten free ice-cream Potato pancakes with ketchup? Nachos on (organic) corn chips?
