FOOD ALLERGIES

I HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS HAS DEVELOPED A LARGE RANGE OF FOOD ALLERGIES.  hAVING TAKEN HER TO THE DR. WE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE RANGE OF FOODS SHE IS ALLERGIC TO ARE SO WIDE THAT PREPARING A MEAL FOR HER IS A NIGHTMARE. THE FOODS SHE IS ALLERGIC TO ARE:BANANA, CELERY, FISH MIXTURE, SOY BEAN, YEAST, COD FISH, CRAB MIX, SALMON, TUNA, WHEAT, TOMATO, SHELLFISH, SESAME SEED, EGG AND MILK.
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE TRYING TO FIND OUT INFORMATION ON WHAT I CAN GIVE MY DAUGHTER IS VERY HARD. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Dear Giulia,

The most direct route to some food options for your daughter would be to consult with a certified nutritionist.

The focus of this forum is really on child behavior, so I won't pretend to be in a position to offer you more specific suggestions. But your situation is the 'stock in trade' of nutritionists. Check with your pediatrician for possible resources in your area.
