Been there, done that! I don't have alot of great advice except that I ate baby rice cereal with splenda and I can't remember if I had soy or rice milk. I know that normally I'd have soy but I was giving the kids rice milk since they were sick for so long I didn't trust them with anything else. I know it was high in carbs but I didn't eat much and I figured I wasn't on induction so I could splurge. Also saltines are about 2 carbs each so you can get away with one or two when trying to introduce foods. I also had sf jello. (yep, the bad aspertame kind- but at that point I didn't care) For soda- I had Talking Rain, Tangerine since I don't like ginger ale. Oh- I also had some lime koolaid with splenda to get a good taste in my mouth. I gave the kids chicken noodle soup and I ate the broth. By the time the bug ended up in their intestinal tract (diarrhea) and I had to put them on the BRAT (banana's, Rice, applesauce and toast) diet I was giving them smoothies made of Bananas, Rice and applesauce with crushed ice for something different. I even gave them applesauce (sweetened with splenda) on toast for a treat. They thought it was applebutter! Good luck- I know it's not only hard to take care of yourself on a LC diet but to give the kids what they need and not make them bored. They complain much easier then we do when they're hungry or sick of the same old thing. Annie
