She does have wheat, eggs etc and they have never caused an issue. (I dont think!) Saying that she always does better on this one type of bread and |i have in the back of my head questioned that but nothing consistant symptoms-wise kwim?

 She has had a huge spurt in her appetite recently. We dropped a daytime bottle (late I know!) so I really needed to fill her up with lunch before naptime as she was used to having the milk. I kept offering fruit and she kept eating it..and eating it....and eating it. I also added an extra portion in from WU from her nap as her snack. All this on top of her usual glut just made me think it must be the fruit.

I think you would know by know if she reacted to the wheat and eggs!

When Olly has a growth spurt I try and fill him up on pasta/GF bread/meats. Does she like those foods?

as long as she likes it I don't see that as a problem, and probably a good thing - DH as a kid used to spend his pocket money on baguettes etc rather than sweets ::)

Why doesn't she get anything sweet? Olly gets those Organix oaty bars and Creations has just pointd me to a recipe for them which I will try making myself - must be loads cheaper if you can use use normal oats.

Could you put a decent jam on the bread?

Chew on a piece of bread or a cracker for a minute or two and you can taste the sweet as the carbs break down into sugar right in your mouth. If she's getting plenty of bread AND fruit, then overall she's getting lots of sugar. That *can* lead to gut issues if there's an imbalance of gut flora: too much yeast in there will feed on the sugars and load her up full of gas, and the poor digestion can basically lead to diarrhea as well.

I would try instead loading her up with more protein and good fats. No need to feel bad that she's not getting sweets - humans don't need nearly as much sweet stuff as they generally get. :) My girls both go bonkers for super-dark chocolate (like the 90% cacao - just got them each a bar of it for Christmas!), which has so little sugar as to be laughable, and I found some dairy-free chocolate chips with nothing but chocolate liquor and sugar and the girls are happy to get like 10 of these mini-chips that *might* equal 2 or 3 regular-sized chocolate chips.

Also, is she getting probiotics? (I forget if you've mentioned in other threads - they all run together after a while in my head LOL) They can help with overall digestion, especially if she's had antibiotics any time recently.

I would love the recipe for those oaty bars too!

 She doesn't get loads of carbs, she loves bread but I limit her on it as it fills her up way too much. Like if we have soup I have to limit her to a couple of cut up tiny pieces of bread otherwise she goes nuts for the bread and doesn't eat the soup!

 She does get sweet stuff - fruit! She also gets sweet rice crackers but thats about it really. We have homemade jam and I am going to make a rice pudding for her with her milk and add jam for a pudding. She just goes a bit nuts when DS is having his yoghurt after dinner and she gets nothing kwim? Who can blame her really!

 Last night was a bad night for teeth so hard to tell if the cut down on fruit was effective. I will be getting some probiotics too, yet to find a shop here that sells them so will hunt online. Any recs?

The recipe is in a few places now, yesterday I linked it to the menu/ recipe ideas sticky on this board (sorry can't link it right now). Also on the 6-9 baby food ideas thread in the baby recipes bit on the FSF board!

Must be so hard on the yoghurt front. We are so lucky to be able to have soy here. Have you found the oatly cream anywhere?

Have you tried little pancakes? We have a recipe that olly can have and he loves them.

Hi, are things still good for you? Did you cut down on all fruit or specifics?

Olly had pear at nursery yesterday and then took an hour to go to sleep at BT (ended up in my bed) and then had NWs till 12. Farting like a trouper all the time!
