Always check with your dietician before starting any new foods for your baby, child or yourself. Certain foods and drinks are generally OK for people with HT-1 – including low protein bread, many fruits and fruit juices, and rice milk. Your dietician can provide a full list. High protein foods like meat, regular bread, cheese, nuts, eggs, soya, beans, lentils and fish are contraindicated, meaning they should never be consumed by someone with HT-1 to prevent serious adverse health effects. Always check food labels to be sure of the ingredients.
Low-protein subsitutes for common foods, known as therapeutic medical nutrition, are available from specialist providers, such as Cambrooke TherapeuticsTM, a global leader in therapeutic medical nutrition. These include meat, cheese and chocolate substitutes and can help people with HT-1 to have a varied, and enjoyable, diet.
Many parents find they become experts on avoiding forbidden food and substituting formula and food that helps their child thrive just like any other. As your baby starts socializing with other babies and goes on ‘play dates’ – you’ll learn to pack the best food and snacks ahead of time.
