A few of you have been wondering when we allowed our girls to eat cheese, and allow all fruits as well as veggies. Here are links to my prior posts on this topic. Just in a nutshell however, we allowed cheeses after meeting with a family in Northern Italy who have also two children with CG. Their kids are older than ours and both had already eaten Parmesiano Reggiano for a few years. Neither of their kids had any issue. - The following year we met up with a family in Berlin and they have a daughter with CG. At that time both of our kids were allowed Parmesiano Reggiano. The German family however told us that their clinic is including a long list of aged cheeses in their daughter's diet. She has been eating all those cheeses as well. In any case, I also spoke with a Swiss family and they are also allowing all fruits, veggies, legumes, as well as certain aged cheeses. The Swiss family in particular was astonished to find out that the Acosta diet is still being followed. We only exclude products containing the actual milk sugar. In any case, we feel comfortable with the girl's diets as evidenced by their GALT levels. - I am looking forward to your comments :)

This is an individual journey for each family, and each clinic is also different. It works for us....

I just found your blog, and was wondering about things I saw that you were letting your girls eat, so this post answered my questions. I hope that someday perhaps we can go you rroute, but right now my daughter's levels keep going up, adn we haev totally restricted her diet to almost nothing... so it looks like we will have to be more strict that what you are blessed to be able to do. I don't really know. This is my first child, she just turned 1, and so far we have found not much helpful info out there... looking forward to reading your blog, though in all honesty, it makes me a little jealous and depressed that even though I find people with this disorder, they still can eat almost anything they want anyway... Good luck and God bless!
