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.
