Amy, I really can't answer you're latter questions.  But, both of my
children turned up their noses at meat and really didn't start eating meat
until around age 4.  We do not eat much meat because the stuff in grocery
stores is full of antibiotics and hormones.  So, we "rotate" our protein
sources so we do not eat the same stuff everyday.  You should be able to do
this in a month after slowly reintroducing foods and watching for reactions
(except of course, anything that causes severe allergic reactions).  So, for
example, we eat deer meat, fish, eggs, beans (combined with rice or other
non-gluten "grains", soy and nuts.
