Dr. Sheila Kilbane can spot a child with high inflammation walking down the street! But many parents can't even see it in their own kids - dark circles under the eyes, mouth breathing/snoring, red ears or cheeks, eczema and more.Inflammation is a more prominent problem than most people think (even medical doctors), and it's causing all sorts of issues for our kids. Are you willing to cut dairy to find out if it would help your kids? This interview will surprise you with how little Dr. Kilbane tests blood and how often she recommends elimination experiments, particularly with dairy! There is a huge difference in a true allergy, an IgE reaction, vs. a sensitivity, IgG. Be sure to watch the interview for how to do it, how long it may take to see results, etc. As a result of this information, my daughter has discovered that dairy isn't treating her well, and it's time I jump into the Healthy Kids, Happy Moms course and find out what's next for us! Although dairy is public enemy #1 for elimination testing purposes, other inflammatory foods include:* gluten* soy* wheat* eggs* corn* peanuts* tree nuts* sesame* shellfish* citrus (may include citric acid, in particular if kids get the rash around the mouth that's hard to get rid of)These 11 foods cause 90% of our inflammatory issues! This doesn't mean all of us need to omit all these foods, but that they should be part of an elimination experiment. *** Super important! 20-40% of kids sensitive to dairy are also sensitive to soy - so soy milk is NOT a proper alternative when eliminating dairy!Ever heard of a pediatrician who says, "Nah, don't switch to whole milk at a year..."? Healthy fats like coconut oil, salmon, even butter are better choices, and if you really want dairy, homemade yogurt was her #1 choice.
