Quick update!

It has been awhile again, oops!  Just wanted to give a quick little update (I hope it will be quick, I have a house to clean tonight!!). The last time I blogged, Brynn had just passed coconut. We are LOVING having coconut on her menu!  We use the Coconut Manna like it's going outta style.  She loves her potato pancakes with Coconut Nectar too.  I've also changed up a few of the muffin and cookie recipes to use Coconut Manna instead of Sunflower Seed Butter. What a world of difference it makes!! The whole family LOVES them!  =) 

We had to pull broccoli completely as well as blueberries.  =(  In short, they both caused some painful reactions for B and it just wasn't worth trying again. She also failed green beans.  We were really looking forward to her passing green beans since we tend to eat them quite a bit in this house!  I hate to see my little girl in so much pain from something as simple as food.  Poor girl, it just breaks my heart. So, for now, 2 more foods are added to the list of big, fat fails. 

On a positive note, she passed the pork trial!  She has eaten pork loin, pork roast and pork patties!  She was a little iffy on the texture of the patty, but we will keep working on that. 

She also got a hold of a marshmallow about 2 weeks ago.  I saw her putting it in her mouth, and didn't really react. Technically, it should be safe--it's mostly corn, but there is also gelatin in them, which we aren't 100% sure on yet.  Gelatin is actually derived from the collagen inside animals' skin and bones *shivers*.  But so far so good, she has had them twice now and runs around like a wild child yelling "More!! More!! More!!" and shrieking with delight.  I love seeing her so happy! 

Oh yeah!! We also attempted to make homemade fruit snacks (using gelatin).  Brynn's big brother is a fruit snack lover and B gets quite upset with us constantly saying she can't have them, so we decided we need to make her some of her own.  They turned out ok, she tolerated them ok, but...they just weren't the fruit snacks we all know and love.  I wish apple was safe, then we could find some! Even in strawberry only fruit snacks, they use apple juice. GRRRR.  Someday B, someday. 

Anyway, I said this would be short.  So, we are not really sure what we will be trying next. We would really like to get her a safe veggie, but we just haven't had much luck with them to day.  She hasn't really been tolerating much fruit either, except pear, so we will have to get our thinking caps on and see what the next trial should be!
