Is this true? > >Thanks, >Lila At 2 my son (now 5 1/2) who is allergic to dairy (gets hives) was also sensitive to wheat and rice (made him very congested with a constant drippy nose. He was also very thin. At the time we had him off of wheat and rice, but after seeing an Ayurvedic doctor it was pointed out to us that wheat and rice build up a body. It is not just calories that put on weight and build up an individual but also certain food types. The doctor also gave us herbs to build up his digestion and told us ways to cook wheat and rice that would make it more easily digestible. Within 2 weeks the congestion stopped and he really put on weight. (Wish we could get rid of the milk allergy, now. That seems to be a real allergy and not just poor digestion.) Regarding non-dairy fats to also build up someone--olive oil is good. It is easily digestible and I use also the light variety a lot to cook with since it doesn't have a strong taste. Avocados are good as well as heavier sweet fruits, such as cherries, peaches, plums, mango, grapes, (not so much apples and pears which are a lighter kind of fruit). Good luck.
