The DIscovery and Journey of the Casein Free, HFCS Free, Artificial Color Free diet

Our Journey: The Casein Free, HFCS Free, Artificial Color Free diet .

Pics of Food we buy

I want to make it very clear that everyone must be their child's advocate. We must all READ THE LABELS we purchase for our children.  From the time I started collecting this list (my bin was overflowing due to lack of time to scan them in!) I have already removed 2 items because the allergen label was "updated" and the product is now "produced on shared equipment with milk powder". See what I mean? ALWAYS verify.  But, having scared ya half to death, these items are a good place to start! When I first took on this challenge this was the most overwhelming part! What do I feed her the first 2 weeks while we are trying this out????? Here goes. Please leave comments if your child has reactions to any of these with details... so I can keep things updated :)

Our organic pipe rigate {rih-gah-tay} is made in Italy at an authentic Pastificio dedicated to making only the highest quality pastas. Made with organically grown durum wheat, our pasta is bronze cut the old-fashioned way and slowly dried to preserve its authentic flavor. A larger version of macaroni, its hollow shape holds sauce on the inside while the ridges grab it on the outside–it's the perfect pasta selection for a meaty or chunky tomato sauce.
