No worries, I wasn't ranting at you. It's just general frustration. Today was actually really good--he started off the morning deciding he wanted cheerios instead of a waffle, so we got to avoid that whole debacle. Someday he'll forget the concept of a yellow waffle... someday.

What does he like to eat?

He's been steadily scaling back since he turned two. Mac & cheese and pizza are gone without dairy... burgers and sandwiches are still okay in general, but most commercial bread products have dairy in them so we have to check... he'll do dairy-free chicken nuggets, spaghetti, and tostadas with refried beans. And that's basically it. Of those, only the tostadas with beans survive going gluten-free. (He already rejected the GF chicken nuggets and GF pasta, multiple times.) You're right in general, most of the people who have done the diet say don't even bother with the substitutes, just find one thing they can eat, and let them have it at every meal for however many months it takes for them to forget what all the good stuff tastes like.
