Healthy Bellies™ Food Description

By Dawn Michelle Simon

As you know for the past few years I’ve been in private practice working as a clinician specializing in food allergy and hypersensivity. During this time my practice has evolved into assisting parents of kids with special needs (many of them with gastrointestinal issue) in creating safe and balanced special elimination diets.

In doing so, it has become obvious to me that by removing whatever it is that their food sensitivity test shows that they are reactive to is not enough. Although initially this therapy is very effective at relieving GI inflammation with an increase of cognitive function; after a month or so, the GI disturbances return as well as symptoms of regression.

But, what I have found to be the most effective way to increase the health and function of these precious children, (most are three and four year old little boys), is a period of GI rest and total removal of certain carbohydrates while keeping the diet balanced and supper nutritious.

Out of the sheer need to be of the most help to these parents, I have developed a line of food products that coincide with a multi-phased program that supports GI healing. My Healthy Bellies™ bread, cookies, muffins, waffles are super nutritious for kids. Utilizing my background in food science I‘ve came up with unique cooking methods with specific goals of creating great tasting kid friendly snacks and bakery products:

Supplying vital protein, carbohydrates and fatty acids that target gut healing and immune support while being easy to digest

Grain-free (a truly unique feature)
Gluten Free
Casein Free
Specific Carbohydrate Legal

Not an easy task but so worth it. My kids are progressing and here’s what some of my mom’s say:

“It’s Dawn Michelle’s diet, and her special supplement shake” Lizz after being asked by her DAN doctor “so what do you attribute to Eddie’s dramatic success?”

“We’ve seen the most dramatic results from Dawn Michelle’s diet than with any biomedical treatment that we’ve tried and we’ve tried them all.” Richard

“This diet has been the best thing for Nic and I couldn’t do it without Dawn Michelle” Mindi

“OMG, you gave Papo a real birthday he loved the cupcakes!” Diane
