Hi gang,
As you all know, my daughter is on the paleo diet and is doing pretty good. We had a family get together and of course all kinds of nonpaleo stuff was served and it was really hard to be around people who are wolfing down brownies, cheesecake, cheetos, ect, ect. My daughter who is mentally about 6 did real well with it. I kept her out of the kitchen area where all the gluteny treats were......I bought Dryers popcicles for her and gave her a tangerine popcicle yesterday, she had a small reaction. I thought it might be the citrus...Today the reaction went away...So I thought well, lets see if she can eat the raspberry one...NOT! Same scenario. These by the way are gluten free.....so she is reacting to something in these little morsels.... Feel bad, she really liked them but she said well, now we gotta throw those out right? I laughed and said , yup, you are getting very good at this.....Those of us that are trying to handle things with diet it is absolutely amazing what food triggers can bring on little or big outbreaks..... There was alot of stuff in these so it could of been anything in these...So we will leave the popcicles alone for a while and probably make our own..... The more natural she stays the better off she is..... I am absolutely blown away by this disease..... Food definately triggers her outbreaks..... She is such a good little girl and is such a good sport about anything....for Easter we are doing special little toys and she wants the movie Tangle in her Easter basket.....
We are not doing candies as we would probably have the same scenario here......She is such a trooper..... Yes, GF is great for some but her HS is so much more than just giving up GF stuff. .....just a little food for thought..... tangerinebear xo

Also think its amazing that you can be so in tune to the bodies reactions like that maybe i'm just a man or something I don't know but I don't really feel things that quickly I have to make changes and see how it goes over time before I can ever tell a difference.
Thanks for sharing dear,
Dus
I'm thinking that there is a popcicle that is nothing but real fruit - nothing artificial (no dyes, flavorings, etc). I have to limit the type of fruit I eat (no oranges, peaches, etc - too high in sugar) I'm becoming more paleo than anything with the exception of dairy.
Thank you again for ALL of your advice to us!
I am still very new to this discussion group and really rather new at trying different things to help my HS... i've had HS for only about 5 yrs now and for the first 30 yrs of my life, I didn't have it, so Im now trying to find ways of keeping my flare ups to a minimum. Would you give me a little more info on what exactly the paleo diet is and/or what kind of foods you keep your little girl away from?
Thanks for yr help
