I'm relatively new to this list, but have found much that correlates with
our family's experiences with food.  I really appreciate this post.  Our
daughter reacts to every one of the above, and more.  In fact, there are
only about six foods that she can eat without a severe reaction:  pineapple,
rice, chicken, bacon, fish (not shell fish), beef and sweet potatoes.  She
also suffers carbohydrate cravings that are only alleviated by extended
exercise.  We're using the alpha nutrition products from Environmed Research
in Canada, but she may have had a reaction to the complete formula, which
includes carbohydrates (we're not sure about that yet, it could have been an
iron supplement she tried).

I'm going to get the Haas' book, and would appreciate any other insights
into this type of problem.  (Our family is gluten, casein, and legume-free;
beyond that we each have many additional food intolerances, including nuts!)
