***Side Note***

At our most recent visit in November 2012 to Sick Kids here in Toronto there have been changes to the galactosemia diet.

Our dietician said that Sick Kids is now allowing beans and lentils, in moderation.  I look forward to the literature on these new findings because these foods have been previously categorized as unsafe.
